Hey guys,new to the forum so if i post in the wrong space i send my apologies haha.
Just hit a 275 deadlift today, for 5 reps,and im looking for some tips. I'm happy that I hit it, as I only weigh in at 165lbs, but what can i do along with that
to develop a thicker back? I've got low rows, lat pulldowns, dumbell low rows, high rows, deadlifts, and bent over rows. Any other good exercises? My form for
deadlifting is good, but i feel like 275 will be my plateau right now. Any tips and suggestions are welcome!

Seems like a bit of an overkill with the horizontal v.s vertical back movements. You have 4 horizontal back movements to only 1 vertical movement (lat pull downs).
If you want a bigger back and you're also worried about your progress stopping with your deadlift, look at your form and technique. There are ALWAYS adjustments to be made no matter how good you say your form is.
Also look into your programming. This can help lead to continued progress or delay in your strength.
If you want a bigger back eat more and gain more weight. It's simple, to get bigger you need to compensate that with extra calories to grow. Add rest to the mix and you should be pretty set.My training log: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=178464441

first off, your 20-- it sucks but patience is needed.
I like the tips of more balance between vert/horizontal pulls... Can also throw some narrow vs wide grip in there as well. (Do this by substituting, don't get crazy with volume).
In addition to all my upper body workouts, warming up with 1 set of pull ups and push ups has been helpful (Not to failure, just pump blood into the muscle)
