    Critique my Back... 135lbs

    I'm 135lbs currently at 55lbs Pull ups for 8 reps on the first set. The only back exercise I do is weighted pull-ups because I have no access to the gym. Question is how do I build those triangle looking muscles in the middle of my back? What exercise can I do for thickness at home? Keep in mind I don't know how a properly built back should look like and this is one of my first time checking out my flexed back, though I do pull-ups all the time

    Pullups mainly hit your lats, you also need rows to target your middle back muscles, and deadlifts or rack pulls to target your lower back and traps.
