First question: How is your routine set up? Does it have just one back day/ Is it split into horizontal, vertical and lower back movements?

Regardless, the common wisdom is to do the heavier compound movements first. That's why you squat before, say, good mornings, or deadlift before reverse hypers.

My favorite back exercises are:

Horizontal: Bentover rows
Vertical: Chins (or pullups)
Lower: Deadlift
Traps: BB Shrug

pullups,dumbell rows,deadlifts,and stuff like barbell/dumbell shrugs will do the trick for your upper back. but deadlifts are always the best back builder
