Doesn't this make it inevitably partially a squat? I'm only interested in the back workout. Normally I like to isolate muscle groups in workouts because I know exactly how much of the workout is being done by a specific muscle group. Also I know one muscle group isn't the "weakest link" and causing the other(s) to not work out as much as they could / enough.

For instance I'm thinking to use a sitting cable lat machine as a deadlift machine in my one complex gym as it has limited machines. But that would involve keeping my legs straight and essentially doing a row motion where I don't pull in with the arms or push out with the legs.

Seems like you know what to do now.

Target some of the smaller blue areas in your image to get some strength there which will help with what you're trying to achieve.

Farmers carries or suitcase carries with help with grip and forearm strength.

Obviously curls (get the girls) will help with bicep and elbow movement. Triceps will need to be done too as they work in conjunction with the elbow joint if you're finding impaired movement or weakness there.
