Barbell Upright Rows

Aim

To develop the traps and the front deltoids, and create separation between deltoids and the pectorals.

1. Stand with feet shoulder width apart
2. Start position: Grasp DB's with an overhand grip (palms down). Arms should hang down to front with elbows slightly bent.
3. Raise DB's by pulling elbows towards the ceiling and pull barbell to chest level.
4. Return to start position.
5. Remember to keep back and head straight in a neutral position - hyperextension or flexion may cause injury. Keep shoulders stabilized by squeezing shoulder blades together throughout movement.
