Rhomboids are scapular retractors. The common mistake that lifters do is they retract their upper back which is going to pressurise the Rhomboids. Remember your rhomboids are the stabilisers and not meant to lift 200 300 pounds of weight. This action should be done by the Latissimus. So when you retract your upper back to lift this is wrong technique. You must keep your arms long and straight in front of you, then depress to use the lats.
Next Steps
Stop deadlifting for a few weeks until this pain is zero
