Please rate my back, I’m 6’0 and I think I weigh about 210…If you have any suggestions, please include the exercises that I can do to target that area.

Looking pretty solid.
I’ve been really focusing on my lat width and my rear delts…
Solid back man. You look like you’d be heavier than you actually are, which is always good.
Only thing I see that could use some work is your lower trap area, but that may just be the picture that makes it seem that way. The best way to fire the lower traps is just to really focus on the scapular retraction part of the rowing movements you indubitably do.
There’s an exercise I saw in the Building the Efficient Athlete DVDs that really targets the lower traps. It’s done on a bench set on an incline, in the position you’d do a chest supported row from. Instead of the rowing movement, you simply raise your arms in front of you to make a sort of V at the end of the bench. You’ll have to use pretty light weights because of the nature of the movement.
Keep up the hard work

…and it shows. Nice v-taper, and rear delt def. Great work! Keep it up
Someone that’s not a troll posts a pic worthy of comment! Great work, really balanced. Just keep adding mass. Focus on the mid and lower traps. Your spinal erectors are looking good as well.
I really appreciate the feedback, I’m going to look into more exercises which target my lower traps. I think the Lat width is coming along and I will just need to work on building thickness, like you mentioned.

thick!
Upper back would have looked even better if you pulled the arms up higher and back in the pose. Just keep working on your goals. Another 15lbs and you’ll be a level up in terms of mass. laters pk
And to think, when you joined us, you wanted to cut and enter a BB comp.

The size or the whiteness? I hope you meant the latter. Good work, Adam.
I’m not sure which image your referring to, do you have a link?
