Those back pics explains a lot. You are too tense!!

Relax a bit, lower the shoulders, and with all those details of muscles on the back will come into place.

You have a great back so don't worry!!! It's just minor posing details I bla-blabla about.

i'll give you half my back width for half your arms.

definitely can tell your arms/delts improved, and overall back mass is definitely better, especially in the upper region. like others said, i'd recommend cg pulldowns (i like to use two seperate handles) with slow negative pullups for width/overall lat development.

hard to say about the back. The difference in ligthing and the distance of the camera make it hard to tell. But there is definetely difference in the shoulders. Keep it up.

Hard to tell from these pics. Your posing definitely improved because your elbows are at a smaller angle in the newer pics which helps bring out the tris and bis much more.

I do see some extra width and thickness in the back though.
