I feel them more the old school way Arnold and Franco did them fully bent over on a block or a bench more than the now 45 degree way Yates did them. Now every one is doing the 45 degree back way. Maybe I never gave them a full chance.

Do them facing the back of an incline bench, you can change the angles and hit the back way better than standing.

I wonder if a cambered bar would work for that?

I don't remember ever trying the cambered bar but like Donny said, it's great for db's as well. Might as well try the cambered bar, see how it feels.

Yates Rows? Dorianīs goal was to really go for the lower Lats but what this guy is doing will do the opposite..all upper back  ::)

For a moment there, I thought he was trying to do upright rows with way too heavy of a weight and it was causing him to bend over.

yes .. ;D
Yateīs rows are great if used properly & i personally use an EZ Bar for a supinated grip which i just find better for me.
I love all kinds of rows for back & i believe they build Thickness & width
