Help me out. I have been lifting consistently for a while, can deadlift 385X5, do like 30 pull ups, strict wide form. But there are issues with my back. What exercises should I implement to overcome any shortcomings you may notice. I already do deads, Wide grip pull ups, wide grip cable pull downs but with single handles, to isolate the lats better, close grip pull downs, wide grip cable row, bent over barbell row, tbar row and shrugs and upright row. Here's a pic.

To me it looks like my lower lats are behind everything else. I am not great at telling if my back looks good or not. I can't really fine tune pick at it like a lot of people in this forum can. All I see are IFBB pros, which does nothing for a natural athlete like me haha.

possibly the lower lats are lagging a little but hard to tell since you havent dropped to whatever BF% it would take to really bring them out. my favorite lower lat exercise is called Carlman Pulls. it is an exercise best done after the rest of your workout to beat up the lower portion of the lats and will even get the obliques hurting!
You would be surprised just how much time I have to waste.

Realyl your back is fine. You just look small. If your stats are accurate, you're about 10+ pounds lighter than me while being an inch taller.
Focus on gaining weight while using a balanced back workout.
Cliffs: Keep doing what you're doing while eating more.
Back workout:
Mix & Match:
Pull up variant
Row Variant
Deadlift variant
Voila, you have just hit your back. Keep width and thickness (vertical and horizontal pull) exercises relatively even when designing the workout.-

^ That.
I've brought it up before. Subjects that I'd answered repeatedly I ended up putting into my word document and scroll to it to copy/paste. Back workouts, chest workouts, back MMC, chest MMC, grip, weider methods of training, pull grips, leg exercises, leg routines, shoulder routines, smith squats, power cleans. Those are just some of the subjects i can remember off hand.-
