my guess so
but

the idea behind kroc row - is to use heavy (heaviest one can handle) DB with as many reps as possible - hence my starting confusion

Sorry, just seeing this.

OK, so, this is a bit of a pet peeve for me. The "heaviest one can handle" for "as many reps as possible" simply means going to failure.

The only way in which that would be any different than any other set to failure for a give rep range would be if you are simply changing form to bang out sloppy and/or partial reps.

"Heavy" is relative to one's strength and "as many reps" as possible simply means to failure.

The exercise itself is meant to be somewhat dynamic and thus lends itself to more body English (it's in the nature of the movement), but if you were to go heavier and ended up getting <4 reps in the last set of the MR, would that no longer be a Kroc row?..
