Upright Row: how to do it and form tips

A barbell pull to chin height that targets the upper traps and side delts. Use moderate weight and controlled form.

Form tips

1. Use a shoulder-width grip to reduce shoulder impingement risk.
2. Lead with your elbows, keeping them above your wrists.
3. Pull only to chest height — no higher.
