UPRIGHT ROW 

Positioning: The Upright Row is performed in a standing position, always using good, tight posture.  It can be performed with a cable, a barbell or dumb bells.

Movement: Contrary to popular belief, this exercise is for the shoulders, primarily the medial head of the deltoid. Many believe it is for the trapezius muscle. If any shrugging movement is involved, then the traps are, too. Ideally we want to keep the shoulders down, away from the ears. By keeping the chest up and the upper back tight, lift the load to chest level. Be sure to lift the elbows ahead of the hands and keep the wrists straight. With control, lower the weight back down until your elbows are extended. Exhale as you lift, inhale as you return the weight to it's bottom position. Repeat.
