Upright rows are great for building strength and size in the shoulders and upper back. Swapping a barbell for dumbbells can be useful for anyone who finds upright rows difficult due to their shoulder anatomy or mobility.
While our Personal Trainer is comfortable taking his elbows past shoulder height, some people may find this causes shoulder impingement. Try stopping when your elbows reach shoulder height if this is the case.
1. Stand with your feet around hip-width apart, shoulders back, and core braced.
2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing towards your body, around hip-width apart.
3. Raise your elbows out to the sides to lift the dumbbells, focusing on pulling through the shoulders. As you bring the dumbbells up, maintain the same distance between each dumbbell.
4. Your shoulder mobility and anatomy can dictate how high you go. If you feel a pinch taking your elbows higher than e in line with your shoulders, stop there.
5. Pause before returning the dumbbells back down.
