I'll bite, any link to your soap box? Chances are I'll disagree with you... if history is any indicator

Honestly, I have found that I get the best results out of my pulls by making them a little ugly. By that I mean that if I try to keep my hips still and pull to the upper stomach I don't get much out of it. So when I row I do end up with a bit of leg drive to break the weight from the ground, every pull is done with as much force as I can muster, and I pull to a point a couple inches from the bottom of my pecs. Doing this I have had much better carry over to my chosen sport. Maybe not a Pendlay row, or even a pretty parallel row, but it builds the power and speed that I'm looking for. All that being said, the only thing I am a stickler about is keeping my lower back tight. At no time do I allow my lower back to round... it doesn't arch either, just flat and strong.

I remember getting pretty good results from lower weight and high rep Yates rows... but maybe that was only from a bodybuilding standpoint and not so much for strength, though I think that most people go after Yates rows as a strength move. You know, load it up and don't get crap out of it with your 1" ROM.
