Width comes from the lats, so you likely need more vertical pulling, better lat engagement, and progressive overload on rows and pulldowns.
Back width is driven by the lats, and it usually lags because of too little vertical pulling, poor lat engagement, and no progressive overload. Add pull-ups and lat pulldowns with a full stretch at the top and a hard squeeze to the bottom, and drive with your elbows, not your biceps. Aim for 10 to 20 hard sets of back a week and add reps or weight over time.
Rows build thickness, but width comes from pulldowns and pull-ups that hit the lats through a long range. Program both wide-grip and neutral-grip pulldowns, and work toward strict pull-ups, keeping 10 to 20 hard back sets weekly.
Many people pull with biceps and rear delts and never feel the lats. Think about driving your elbows down and back toward your hips, letting the arms just be hooks, and pause a beat in the fully contracted position.
Let the weight pull your shoulder blades up and your lats long at the top of each rep, then pull. That loaded stretch is a strong growth driver, so control the negative instead of dropping the bar or handle.
