    Go to T-Nation. Plenty of workouts and exercises there.
    But, stick with 1 arm rows, deadlifts as a start.

    Deadlifts
    PULLUPS
    Rows
    More pullups
    And just one more pull-up for good measure.

    Pull-ups - if your gym doesn't have an assisted pull-up machine buy a super band

    So basically, rows and pull-ups in EVERY variation. And there are tons!!

    Back flys, and a super wide grip on the lat pull down machine if you can't do a pull up.

    Also variations like snatch grip deadlifts are great for the back, and high pulls (which can also be done with a snatch grip). These are both olympic lifting assistance exercises and olympic lifters have very strong backs!

    Deadlifts. Pull ups (if you can't, use an assisted machine if possible). Pendlay rows

    It depends on strength and bodyweight, but 1 or 2 in black or green should work for most. Those are normally 75lbs and up.
