Barbell upright row

Target: Shoulders, traps

Form tips:

• To minimize risk, keep your grip at shoulder width and don't pull your elbows up any higher than your shoulders.
• Maintain good posture with your core and glutes engaged.
• If you are a beginner, close your fists when gripping the bar so it doesn't slip.

Modification – Dumbbell upright row:

• If you experience any discomfort, try a dumbbell row which will allow you to adjust the grip to keep your shoulders comfortable.
