Yeah toss up between Cable and Bent over BB/Pendlay rows, but thinking Cable as you already have a firm base to row from and is easier to target the back.
Bent BB row, Draper style
DB row
Chest supported plate loaded
Of those 3 I beleive the first is just a cool mass builder. Builds toughness.
The other two are more (as shrek wrote) specific to biulding the muscular structures of the back and shoulder girdle.
t-bar rows are my favourite but it sucks my gym doesn't have a setup or a machine to do it, I got told off for damaging the wall. I stick with one arm rows mostly
I like to switch up. Been noticing some good gains with one arm db rows, also less strenuous on my lower back which I tweaked a couple of weeks ago . Don't mind a bit of t-bar as well

Most if not all the guys I see perform rows incorrectly.
With bars or T-Bar they stand far too upright and it's virtually an upright row with a huge jerking action. When performing cable rows they use the hip as a pivot, turning the exercise into a hyper-extension.
no throwing or slamming here, I respect the gym equipment as much as anyone. The owner told me that he doesn't like me doing it due to destroying wall so I simply stopped doing them no arguments.
I do miss doing them, nothing compares for me anyway.

T-Bar rows, definately, i just use the narrow parrarel grip handle from the cable station.
Does anyone actually use the standard harley handlebars that come with the pivot?

Yeah this is exactly what i used to do before i changed to bent over BB rows, but the new gym doesnt have the same parralel grip attachment to it is useless an the harley handlebars i find completely terrible to use.
