dumbell row, barbell row, or a rack pull and at the top bring your shoulders back to activate your lats.

Deadlifts and row variants will add thickness to the back. Types of rows include barbell, dumbbell, T-bar, seated cable, etc.

My lay thickness seems to be going through the roof it's more my middle and lower back that's lagging behind. I have neglected the dead lifts lately due to not being fully recovered from legs so may just have to go for rack pulls to minimise leg involvement. What do you find the best finish position for t bar rows? Mid abs lower abs etc? I'm struggling to find a squeeze that really fills them up.

Pulling from the racks de-emphasize the legs and target the lumbar and thoracic erectors. The wide grip hits the traps, rhomboids, etc. more. Try 'em out.

Deadlifts
Pendlay rows

[heinstein]

Chin ups for thickness.
Pull ups for width.
Do some shrugs on the bar too. Just not when anyone is around cuz they'll assume you're an idiot.

Clearly you're trolling because the dude in your avi is gigantic

deadlifts and pendlays (or another row variation to the lower chest/upper ab region) should really help you out here. make sure to really get a good squeeze and contraction at the top of the lift as well

Yeah cos I go and find pictures of other guys to use as my picture. I'm going back to competing next year so I'm pulling up my weak points in terms of bodybuilding. So when you have a valid response chirp up then otherwise take your trash else where. I'm after responses from people who know what I'm talking about not from some two bit wana be ok. Iv trained for 10 years and looking for another way to tweak my training that is all. Rant over!
