Upright Row

Starting position

• Grip the bar shoulder-width or slightly wider.
• Stand upright, bar in front of the thighs.

Execution

• Pull the bar close to the body to just below the chest, elbows leading upward.
• Lower slowly.

Common mistakes

• Too narrow a grip and pulling too high: this can irritate the shoulders.
• Momentum from the legs.
• Bar drifting away from the body.
