Barbell exercises can be used to target the muscles in the upper and lower lats, as well as the lower back muscles. A good back workout using barbells is the Barbell Good Morning. An individual starts by holding the barbell behind one's shoulders with both hands, and then leaning forward until their upper body is perpendicular with the floor.
