I'm 27 years old, am 6ft1 (1m88), am about 220pds at 14%.
My arms are 17.9 inch, have a good chest, shoulders.

But i want to develop a huge back, my back isn't that bad but I want it to stand out, if you know what I mean.

My backworkout:
- Chin-ups with additional weight 4 sets
- Dumbell Rowing 3 sets (10-8-6)
- Hammer Strenght rowing 3 sets (10-8-6)
- Pull down to chest 3 sets (10-8-6)
- Cable rowing 3 sets (10-8-6)
- Dead lift but not heavy 3 sets (the rest I train heavy) (3 x 15)

Is this to much or to little? Should I concentrate more on latpulleys or rowing?

THX

Everybody is different so we could only give pointers. Try new things every 3rd month and measure your back. Trial & Error!

i'd say deadlifts and barbell rows is the way to go (along with all the other stuff of course)..but that's me :)

Deadlifts are to be done heavy with low reps.

Your schedule looks great and very similar to mine except I don't do deadlifts. When you are doing deadz, warm up with one set of 15, do another of 6-8 and the last should be 2-3. That and the chin-ups will build a lot of thickness.

first .. it's depand on genetics .. then you should stick with free wieghts .. like chins up ( wieghted ) .. then go for bent over rows .. T-bar in the corner .. and of course deadz .. i got best results with deadz .. also try doing these exersice in rep range between 6 - 8 reps

Yeah, BigD, don't worry bro cuz it looks like you're doing everything right so far. Make sure you switch your schedule though, if it's been the same for more than 8 weeks. Looking good.

TherealGame---^^ Do you train shoulders on back day?? I used to but I just switched it to chest and triceps day. I'm gonna try it today and see how it feels. Becuase I usually do a lot of shoulder presses so I'm gonna add it with the chest routine.

I also believe deads and barebell rows are the way to go for a will I was doing a lot of "cute " exercises for back and then went back to the basics and it worked for me.
Also try one arm db rows on the bench.
