Upright RowsUpright rows are a good exercise for developing the shoulders and trapizius muscle of the back and neck. As the exercise stresses the rear (posterior) Deltoids, medial Deltoid and trapezius muscles of the back they help widen the shoulders and improve posture. Upright Rows are not a main muscle mass building exercise so you shouldn't rely on these to build up the shoulders. However they can be useful for further shoulder development and this exercise can be great to introduce into a workout routine to shock the muscles into further growth, especially if strength gains for the shoulder press start to plateau. Upright Rows are also great for warming up the shoulder joints before a heavy routine and for the advanced bodybuilder can be used in super sets.
How to perform Upright Rows: Stand with your feet about 6-8 inches apart and legs stood firm and secure. Grab the barbell firmly with an overhand grip, hands should be 2-6 inches apart. Let the barbell hang down around the groin area. Push the shoulders slightly forward before lifting. Keeping your back straight and head up raise the barbell slowly until it is close to your chin. Your elbows should be pointing outwards and always remain higher than your hands during the whole exercise, they should also be moving at the same pace as the bar. When the bar reaching the chin pause for up to a second before slowly lowering the barbell making sure not to just let go or drop the bar. After reaching the starting point pause for a split second before attempting another rep.
