heavy back training will bring the taper out well.

Personally, I have found that one arm dumbell rows have worked my lats well for a good taper. I perform 10 reps for 2-3 weeks, 6-8 reps for 2-3 weeks then some at 12-15 reps, also alternating reps speed too has helped with my back, i.e 1 second lift 3 seconds down, or 2 seconds lift and 4 seconds down (this hurts) instead of the usuall speed you work at.

That said I dont just do dumbell rows, I change my routine/exercises every 2-3 weeks. Some good ones though are seated cable rows, various pulldowns/pull ups.

Although as everyone knows your muscles will be stimulated by different movements than other people so give your back (and other muscle groups) a change every 2-3 weeks and find out what makes you hurt/grow the most

pull downs to chest not the back of the neck as this fecks your shoulders imo. broom stick twists and crunches to the side with weight or hanging raises same style to tighten the waist.
