Description: | The conventional, narrow-grip barbell upright row tends to be quite stressful on many client's shoulders. A much better alternative is to use a cable, elastic or dumbbell which allows the wrists to adjust to a client's body shape, as well as limiting how high you bring the weight.
Caution: Don't be too quick to increase to heavy loading with this exercise (as it is more stressful on the shoulders). | ||
Common Error(s): | Using Excessive Momentum | Forward Head Posture | ||
