Barbell Upright Row

Expert Advice

Avoid lifting the barbell too high to prevent shoulder impingement; stop when your elbows are at shoulder height.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell with an overhand grip.
  2. Lift the barbell straight up to your chin, leading with your elbows.
  3. Keep the bar close to your body throughout the movement.
  4. Lower the barbell back to the starting position with control.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
