exercise isolating the rhomboids and upper back

[dueno8]

please suggest some exercises the work the upper back and minimally the lats.

i was thinking bent over row, my fav back exercise, but does this work the lats extensively?

the reason is i would like to do the lats and upper back on seperate consecutive days

By upper back, I'm assume youre talking about the Traps? Well if that's the case, nothing beats good old barbell shrugs!

Any type of row is going to target the Lats.

I like doing bent over row a little lover than the neck. If you are doing them right, you feel a great shrugging feeling in your upper back.

You can also to a bent shrug by resting your chest on an incline bench with dumbells, these are a staple of my back/shoulder routine.

Although you can go heavier in the version you mentionned, I feel a deeper contraction my way.
