EZ-Bar Standing Upright Row
The upright row with an EZ-bar; its angled grips let the wrists turn slightly in, which suits wrists a straight bar bothers.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, EZ-bar at the thighs, hands on the outer angled grips, overhand.
Steps
- Pull the bar up close to the body, elbows leading.
- Stop at chest height, elbows level with the shoulders.
- Lower along the body under control.
Common mistakes
Hands on the inner bends: the narrow grip crowds the shoulders; use the outer ones. Bar swinging away from the body: keep it close to the torso. Rocking the hips to start: stand still; lighter bar.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale lowering.
