Cable Upright Row

Expert Advice

Keep the movement controlled and avoid lifting the weight too high, which can put undue stress on your shoulders.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Attach a straight bar to the low pulley of a cable machine.
  2. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
  3. Grasp the bar with an overhand grip, hands slightly narrower than shoulder-width.
  4. Lift the bar straight up to your chin, leading with your elbows.
  5. Lower the bar back down slowly to the starting position.
