  If you look at the techninqe you find the movement pattern does not mach an actual barbell row..... closer to a shrug.
  
  I really think you are better off working on the technique first then build up the load. I would recomend ditching the straps and work on proper grip using Olympic Lifting grip - will be tough to start with but your strength will go through the roof.

  overhanging is tough. my max grip with overhang and hook grip is at 140kg.
  takes time, recovery rate at this point in my life is reallllly slow. normally i row at 120kg for 10 reps with good form with no straps.

  how do you actually perform a standard row?
  
  like pull the load up then let it down?
