After my workout my back feels awesome
Does that mean you are seeing results? If your lats are lacking after the megaton of exercises you do, then it's either shitty form or not enough quality reps. By quality I mean pulling the weight hard (dynamically), then slowly letting the weight back up/down.

Hyperextensions (good mornings) - 3 sets of 20
Two different exercises. I assume you mean hyperextentions. If your back can actually handle doing 5 sets of deadlifts, 5 more sets of rows, + hypers, then you're a better man than I! Too much.

I think you're doing too much. You must remember that every one of those exercises are all working the same muscles. For example: Back Thickness->
You have 5 sets of deadlifts, 3 sets of cable rows, and 5 more sets of bent over rows....All of which do the same thing.

I also assume that you're doing one muscle per week, right? If that's the case, then I would recommend something a little more like this:

-Pullups: 5+ sets all to failure, OR, whatever it takes to get to 50.
-Barbell Rows: 5x5
-Pullovers: 3x10
-Barbell Shrugs: 3x8-12
-Hyperext: 2x10 (this one is optional, not really needed)

What you can do is to rotate out deadlifts with barbell rows every other week. Week 1 (rows), week 2 (deads), ect. The idea still applies that less is more! Each week your goal should be weight increases. By doing less, as prescribed above, you are allowing yourself to lift with more intensity instead of subconsiously trying to save some of your strength to finish the volume.
