Here's what I do but it is more for the shoulders, but I also feel it

in the between the shoulder blades area.

I do Bent Over Dumbbell Side raises. Bend over so that your back is

parallel (or as parallel as you can get it) to the floor, raise both

dumbbells out to your side by contracting your rear deltoids. Pause

in the contracted position before returning to the original starting

position.

Another one that is specifically for the back that I do is the

Reverse Grip Barbell Row. In an upright standing position lean

forward until your back is at a 45 degree angle, grip the bar

slightly closer than shoulder width with your palms up like your

doing a curl, raise the bar up in a straight line until the bar hits

your navel, push your elbows back like your trying to elbow someone

behind you and squeeze your back then return to the starting position.

The rest of my back workout consists of dumbell rows, deadlifts, and

pullups.
