Hey guys. So I've been doing around 175 for bent over rows with strict form, but im curious what benefits do over and underhand grip provide? What really hits the lats good? Thanks guys.

As far as I can see, they achieve two things:
1. Force you to tuck the elbows which puts the lats in a stronger position (however you can achieve the same thing with tucked elbows using an overhand grip).
2. Put the biceps in a stronger position.
I prefer to force my back to work harder than my biceps and an overhand grip also gives me the option of rowing with a wider grip (elbows flared) to put the lats in a weaker position and forces the lower-mid traps, rhomboids, etc. to move more of the weight.
What makes a real difference is the angle you row the weight and what's happening from the elbows up -- not your grip.

"The fitness and nutrition world is a breeding ground for obsessive-compulsive behavior. The irony is that many of the things people worry about have no impact on results either way, and therefore aren't worth an ounce of concern."--Alan Aragon
