A major weak point of mine at the moment is my back thickness, whilst i've been working hard on increasing the width of my back, one part which suffers is the thickness.

Are there any excersises that you could recommend me do in order to increase my upper back thickness?

Use a wide grip on various lifts. ie. Wide grip pulldowns, wide seated rows, etc. It will build a mean thick v taper.

I've found that this also works your muscles more, it may show that you're weaker (smaller grips = more weights lifted) but it pays off in the end..

I'd definitely have to go with the wide grip pull downs and seated rows on this one.

One great thing I do after my back workout is to grab the wide grip pull down bar, stick it on a cable machine and finish with some wide grip cable rows - works like a treat at exhausting the back muscles right at the very end of a killer workout!
