How to do Upright Row

Shoulders & Traps Exercise Training Workout

Stand up with a barbell and feet shoulder-width apart. With the barbell out in front of you (in front of your thighs) and head looking forward, back straight, abs tight, and feet planted, slowly bring the barbell up along your body, as illustrated, using your shoulders while keeping your elbows above your forearms throughout the entire movement. It should be brought up in a linear motion. Hold the barbell up at the top to squeeze the muscle at the top of the movement. Slowly bring the barbell down in a linear movement along your body until your arms are hanging down in front of you again.
