so someone gimme a new back routine. Time to change things up a bit i think.

[Citruscide]

Deads, wide-grip palm down bar rows, high face pulls, pullups, cable rows to burnout, db rows... All of these are effective... High face Pulls really help my UPPER back...

Try wide grip deads too... I notice alot in my lats when I'm doing that.

Yeah, I've spent some time working on my deadlifting form... I have even thought of moving over to rack-deads, to focus on my back only... instead of having my legs involved in the motion... it seems to work very well.

I showed a video to Clint, and he went through and critiqued it VERY well... pointed out things I didn't even think about... like my heel moving slightly...

I have high lats too but I think I've turned my back into my best bodypart.
I do alot of stuff with a narrow grip since that gives me a better stretch.
Right now I'm on:

Pulldowns 3 sets - for lat width
front pulldows 2 sets - start upright and swing down to 45 degree torso)
Bentover rows 4 sets - lat thickness
reverse grip pulldowns 3 sets - hands 6-8 inches apart, same form as front pulldowns, reallly reach at the top and let your lats stretch out.
Finish with 2-3 sets of dumbbell pullovers - gives your lats the "round" look on a front double bicep pose. I forgot what the muscle there is called.

I like t-bar rows too but the range of motion is too short. I frequently swap the reverse grip pulldowns with pulley rows if I like the machine. Stretch is the key....let that weight go ALL the way up til just before the plates touch down.
