Cable Upright Row

Pull the bar up along the body to chest height, elbows leading; stop where the shoulder stays comfortable.

How to do it

Setup

Face a low pulley, bar in both hands at the thighs, grip shoulder-width.

Steps

  1. Pull the bar up along the body, elbows leading.
  2. Stop at chest height or where the shoulders stay comfortable.
  3. Lower along the body with control.

Common mistakes

Pulling to the chin with a narrow grip: the shoulder impinges; chest height is enough. Wrists above the elbows: elbows LEAD. Leaning back: stand tall.

Breathing

Exhale on the pull, inhale lowering.
