That's what I've found. I use more of a dynamic row, which brings the hips into the movement, and I find the upper back gets hit hard with heavy weight while the lower back doesn't bear the load. I learned the Pendlay Row first, which is a great movement in itself, but I must say I like the powerful version better.
If you ever do decide to learn the Pendlay, take your time with it. It may take you a while to get comfortable with the movement. If you do give it a go, report back with what you find.
Cheers,
