For the back you always have to focus on using the back muscles for the pulling and NOT the arms. Tough to do properly.

it helps if you focus on pulling your shoulderblades together and thrusting your chest forward as you bring your arms back.

Good suggestion three, hadn't thought of it that way, might even have to give that a try myself sometime.

Thumbless grips also help quite a bit. Letting the bar hang in your hands as if they are hooks goes a long way in helping you use your back instead of trying to do all of it with your arms

Careful with the lowerback and "heavy" weights - advice from my chiropractor ;] Work the **** out of the upper!

Another good tip for the back workout is to not think of the weight being at your hands, you tend to use more biceps.
Think of the weight being at your elbows and you are pushing back from there.
A little mind-muscle trick.

I start with 3 warm up sets of pull-ups
Seated rows (4-5 sets)
Lat Pull Down (4-5 sets)
Bent Rows (4-5 sets)
Cable Pulls (3 sets)
Hyper-Extensions (3 sets)
Then end with some pull-ups, I'm usually pretty dead by the end |

If you wanna stray from most of the typical responses, you could try pullups to failure, then pullup negatives. Once you reach failure, slide a bench or chair under your feet and get yourself into the peak position of your pullup. From here, do a SLOW negative, no less than 5 seconds, all the way down. Do this 5 times.
