Oh, and here is how I work barbell rows, usually they're done after 1-2 DL variants, so my back is tired, where as the above workout was done with fresh back.
I do 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps. I start heavy, with a weight I can do 3X3 with decent form. I then add weight (5-10lbs) a week until my form is too sloppy. When this happens, I begin to add volume, switching to 3X5, then 4X5 etc. Also, during this process of adding volume, I really work at making the row more strict.
However, doing rows from a dead hang shouldn't be how you do most of your rowing though. Put a little body english into it, move the big weights, and your back will grow. I am a bit chubby, but I think most of the people on this board who've seen pics of me will attest that my back and traps are quite well developed.
