stick to t-bar rows and dumbell rows. the first for overall mass and the second for fuller range of motion and contraction. the BB rows works great but it puts too much stress on lower back and hip.
My experience too, BB rows just don't "feel right" when it comes to my back and the concern about injury distracts from the concentration in the exercise. Exactly the opposite with DB rows in which I feel free to go as heavy as I want/can.
