Dumbbell Upright Row
The upright row with dumbbells, which lets the hands travel apart and spares the wrists.
How to do it
Setup
Stand tall, bells at the thighs, palms toward the body.
Steps
- Pull the bells up along the body, elbows leading.
- Let the hands drift apart naturally as they rise.
- Stop at chest height; lower with control.
Common mistakes
Forcing the bells together: the free path is the point; let them travel apart. Pulling past comfort: chest height. Swinging with the hips: strict, quiet reps.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale lowering.
