For LATs themselves - not talking about traps, middle back, lower back etc, the thing that has worked best for me and my clients has been supersetting straight arm pullodwns with close grip palms up pulldowns, second best would be eithe heavy db pullovers or close grip puldowns.
For the back as a whole, I've obtained the best results from heavy barbell, Hammer rows and deadlifts.
 
for just lats I would have to go with wide grip chins, but for overall mass for the back i would have to say either bentover rows or deadlifts because they stimulate the most amount of muscles in your back...
 
Thaibox said it right: deads, rows, chins

If you take a top-down approach, investing the most energy in the exercises that allow you to move the most weight, working towards lighter exercises the order would be:

- deadlifts
- chins
- t-bar row
- bent row or dumbell row

All you need for a great back is chins and barbell rows. Everything else is just fluff.

But sometimes you want a little fluff.


(P.S. Pullovers are maybe the most under-rated exercise)
are you kiddin me. u can get a good back from chins and barbell rows. a great back must do deadlifts
