How to Do Upright Barbell Rows

Upright Barbell Row Exercise

In this section, the instructor demonstrates how to do an upright barbell row exercise that strengthens the trapezius muscle in the middle of your back. The exercise also uses a little bit of your shoulders and biceps.

Proper Hand Placement

  • Stand up straight with your feet just about shoulder-width apart or a little wider.
  • Keep the barbell about 6 to 8 inches apart with your grip.
  • Keep your elbows above the bar as you pull up.

Executing the Exercise

  • Lift straight up, keeping your elbows above the bar.
  • Pull up below your chin and return down slowly.
  • Exhale on the way up and inhale on the way down.
  • Avoid slinging weights up and rocking; keep everything nice and in control.

Key Points to Remember

  • Keep body alignment nice and straight.
  • Feet placement should be just about shoulder-width apart or a little wider.
  • Keep elbows above the bar while lifting straight up for proper execution of this exercise.

This is a short transcript, so only one section was created.
