I couldn’t stand that variation, it felt funny and wrong. In fact it wasn’t wrong, it was still a bent over barbell row, but it was Yates Row. Now I have started using the correct form, a Pendlay Row:

I actually quiet like this exercise now. You start and end each rep on the floor like a deadlift. With the Yates Row you had the weight handing in the air between reps.
