  When i use barbell row, i cant seem to feel my upperback being worked at all.However this doesnt apply to dumbbell rows.I bent at 45 degrees btw..
  
  How many of you feel the same?

  Barbell can cheat a bit by jerking your lower back up and back.
  
  DB rows with 1 side of the body supported on the bench ah? Yeah,can feel it more...but then the heaviest DB in my gym is only 30kg...
