One of the biggest reasons people lift big weight for cable rows is cuz they are able to cheat their ass off. They put their lower back into it and then lean back to help get the arms back and all that.

Stick with Pendlay rows (from the floor) and you won't be sorry.

I don't know what your 'normal' mass routine is but it is pretty paramount that whatever you do in addition to this kind of training be designed to spur further strength gains or at least maintain strength. Going to a hypertrophy routine then back to the 5x5 without keeping this in mind would be spinning your wheels.

You didn't mention your weight and your lifts on squat, bench, and deadlift. Provide that (if you want) and I can give you a "fairly" good estimate of your training age.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
