How To Do Upright Rows

upright rows

I read a Frederic Delavier’s book « Strength Training Anatomy » and I learned good stuff.

Standing with your legs slightly apart and your back is straight. You hold the barbell with a pronated grip and the spacing of your hands is a palm’s width or a little more.

  • Inhale and you pull the barbell along your body to your chin by raising your elbows as high as possible.

  • Expire and return to the starting position by controlling the movement.

This exercise works mainly upper trapezius, deltoid and a little bit brachialis, brachioradialis, forearm flexors, abs, buttdock and sacrospinalis.

The more you put your hands apart, the more you work your deltoids and the less you work your trapezius.
