Any row properly done will give you the benefits of a row properly done. Pick any and all rows you like except for fixed path machines (personal opinion) and go for it.

barbell rows "regular" or from floor
dumbell rows partial support or from incline bench
cable rows of any kind
even t-bar rows
supine rows
chest supported rows
head supported db rows


Look for progressin over time but the point of a row is not to become a row champion so don't sweat it like that. There is no use in plugging away at one row you are getting nowhere at. You will get better in general as time goes by but the trick is to be comfortable with good rowing technique regardless of what specific row you do.

Pendlay rows, for me, done in the way they were described to me, never did shit for me except irritate my mid back. All my regular row varieties I love and I cycle through them as I see fit.

"Pendlay" rows don't even seem to be the same row to everyone...but they are in an "overreaction" phase. Put them in the middle where all exercises belong and don't worry about it.

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