Additional back exercises?

My usual back routine is 3 working sets of deadlifts, 3 sets of dumbbell rows and 3 sets of hyperextensions. Just curious if you think this is enough, sometimes I feel like I am cheating my back even though I hit it hard and am pretty tired when through. I was thinking of adding barball rows or wide grip pulls. Any advice?
 
switch it up, add some wide grip bents, delete the dumbells, and add some close grip lat pulldowns.

How about chins or pullups instead of those lat pulldowns? ;)
 
you love those pullups frosty lol..Aside from deads im with jcp, the only other one ill add is t-bar rows
 
Rack Chins This Link has some information about rack chins if you don't know how to do them. In-Human provided a great link with a picture of hos to do the exercise.

Barbell Rows

Pulldowns

I am sorry, i thought the deads were a given to stay, lol. I meant the rest. :)
 
What about good mornings? They really helped my lower back and my deads went up substantially as a result.

as your bodyweight passes into the 300s you tend to prefer pulldowns for some reason :D
