Rows and chinups are great for back work. Too many times the back is overlooked. You want a big bench, you need a big back. Want a big squat, need a big back. Body building -asthetically, newbs ignore the importance of a big back. Health wise - a strong back/core will help your out
Rows... just do them and mix it up. I always thought of rows as important as bench on bench days. As I have said before, I think Kroc rows are the best and if you watched Kroc while he was still a he, he was a monster in both powerlifting and body building. But t-bar rows, chest supported rows, dumbell/barbell etc are all compound lifts and so to keep with consistancy - I prefer all of those to cable rows. Nothing wrong with working in a cycle with cable rows, just wouldn't make it my back "bread and butter" excercise.
So normally when I trained, we trained for powerlifting...
Bench day - do my main bench exercise (be it chains, 531, heavy singles, etc.) I would then do heavy rows. Excessories after that. Always tried to include dips.
Shoulder press day - do my main OHP exercise (dumbbell/barbell seated or military press), then I would do chinups. Followed by speed work for bench and more accessories.
Pick a row that fits what your equipment allows you to do. Don't be afraid to go heavy. Change it up every cycle. And if you are having a bad day, screw it, go do machine rows or cable rows. Just don't neglect your back.

. More limiting them on some days, more than anything lol. Most of my carbs come from oatmeal, fruit, tortillas (yes I eat tortillas), rice, bread (although a lot of it these days is low carb, high fiber), beans, occasionally potatoes, and the periodic sweets.
