hurt back means lower back?
I wouldn't do cable rows, better cable pull-downs without leaning back.

Chest supported DB rows. Lay face down on an incline bench with your body extended and head just over the top and do rows that way. You can still go heavy with little if any stress on the low back.

If your gym has one of these plate loaded seated Hammer Strength leg press machines, you could use it for rows by standing on the other side and gripping the inside bar, where you would stack the weights.

Not that easy to explain. The link below shows you the machine. Instead of putting the weights where she has them, put them on the outside and row by gripping the bar on the inside. The movement is very similar to barbell rows, but puts much less stress on your lower back.

Late. The same concept was already suggested twice.

I`ve been doing those lying barbell rows for quite a while now and my back looks better than ever.

No momentum involved and you really feel it in your back..............great exercise.

Hurt my back doing rack deads so any bent over row is out.

Agreed, both the lying rows and hammer row machine are viable alternatives to free weights that can in fact be more effective due to the isolation, despite all the claims that free weight, unsupported traditional exercises are always best.

Standard barbell rows are some of the least effective, potentially most injurious back exercises out there from my experience having done them for years, in addition to being exhausting. Anyone who does free weight unsupported rows is better off with T-bars and one-arm rows, the other arm supporting the back IMO, in terms of effectiveness and reduced lower back strain.

rack deads? I find if I rinse the rack first or at least the weight per the DoggCrapp system I never get hurt.

Goudy makes me laugh, every excuse in the book not to squat or do barbell rows but he pounds heavy ass benches and overhead presses like they're going out of style. ::)

Take the day off...

x2.  I can tell you from experience a bad back isnt something to try to train "light" if youre hurt.
