Barbell Upright Row

Barbell Upright Row Instructions

• Assume a strong lifting position:
• Core and glutes activated with a neutral spine
• Chest up and shoulders back
• Knees slightly bent and eyes fixed ahead.
• With an overhand grip, grab the barbell just inside shoulder-width.
• Raise the bar by focusing on pulling with your delts. 
• AVOID letting your traps shrug upwards. Maintain sound posture from start to finish.
• Create the mind-muscle connection your delts are controlling the movement, your arms are passive.
• The top position is just below your collarbone..

*Tips*

• Ignore the notion of bringing the barbell past your collarbone.
