I have been bodybuilding for 4 years now. My question is i lack definition in my back and was wondering how do you get your back shredded? I do all the basic back workouts and I get stronger and bigger but I do not get that defined, deep cut look in my back. Could this be genetics? Any advice on what I could do in terms of reps or movement or any other suggestions?

Bottom line is it will come from body fat. If you keep building up the muscle, it'll look shredded enough when the bf% is down low.

Throw up a sample of your back workout(s) with lifts, sets and reps.

pull ups, chin ups, dumbbell rows, seated rows, deadlift, lat pull downs, good mornings, and these are just the few that come to mind at the moment.

As far as looking "shredded" goes and not taking into account the obvious of bodyfat %, I usually work in the 4x12 sets/reps range. For deads, I'll do heavier weight and shoot for 10 reps instead, maybe and then on my last 2 sets or so, go for around 5, but outside of that one lift, everything else is a rep range of 12-15.

You might also want to look into some bodybuilders' routines that have days broken down for back width and back thickness.

Some do. I mean, it's good to switch things up from time to time, too. I'll be honest and admit that I don't do that all too often - only very rarely. And I'm pretty pleased with the size and definition of my back.
