Would love to see a informative video on how to properly do this exercise! Thanks

This is great timing! I just reintroduced these into my routine as of yesterday with the same tweak you guys mentioned here.

Great content like always. Love the new "studio" also. RTR is a literal Cheat code for fitness and health.. do yourself a favor and get this book for you and get another one for someone you know will read it. Great info Sal.

band shoulder dislocates, band pull aparts, face pulls, band external rotations, cuban press, and all varieties of vertical pressing

It's #1 for me

Whenever I do upright rows I feel a pinch in my shoulder and the pain persists for days. I’ve even corrected form multiple times but for some reason this exercise always gives me problems others don’t. I can perform every other movement with no impingements its just upright row that gives me more problems than benefits. Sharing my insight just in case others experience the same thing.

Either pulling way too high or... You're just not built for it. No worries. Plenty of other exercises to develop them delts

Yes the best solution would be to discontinue doing them. You still have the gold standard for overall (overhead press) and rear head (reverse pec deck) development

It inherently puts stress on the rotator cuff, how bad it affects people can vary individually, but it is certainly not just a matter of bad form, it is an inherently flawed exercise

upright rows made my shoulders feel better and healthier. lateral raises cause little bit of elbow pain because of tennis elbow(even with bent elbows) with upright rows i can go to failure and feel massive pump without pain.

Bands, freedom, easy pump, therapy... Pro-Tip 😎

Upright rows seem to hit my traps

If you do them with a somewhat wide grip and only pull to your lower chest area with a slight lean forward.. that'll torch the side delts better than any lateral raise in my experience

i was literally thinking this after doing maps black phase 1 day 1 and then thinking about my shoulder focus session for the day... makes soooo much sense!! my traps are on fire right now haha and got BB shrugs tmrw...... no wonder i'll be transforming :P

I got to be honest I listen to the massive but I like the upright row. Shoulder shrugs are good too

I like the snatchshrug instead of the upright row I find the wider grip is safer

Trap bar upright rows are dope as fuck!

Best fitness channel ever!!!

Traditional style with close grip and bar going higher than clavicle often causes impingement. Modified style where grip width is wider than shoulders and bar travels up to sternum is safer and doesn't cause impingement. Yes it is a bit smaller ROM but more is not always better specially if you want to remain healthy in long term.

At that point it resembles more of an olympic high pull which can be great and safe.

I love Upright Rows but I only use Dumbells and higher reps for a longer tension time.

Yeah dumbbells are way safer.

Make sure it is wide grip upright rows. Such a big difference. Believe me. Charles glass has mentioned it and even a couple KZread channels I respect. If Charles glass says it, listen to that man.

wide grip ftw

I thought upright rows were unsafe because it causes a pinch in the supraspinatus tendon?

You have to develop the prerequisite shoulder stability and mobility. Just like good mornings take good hamstring mobility. The danger comes in when your a novice and jump right in without those things and do more weight or ROM than what you should. This is an area where a lot of people are limited without direct focus on improving so that's the danger. Also so people acromions naturally have more hooked shape leading to greater likelihood of impingement. My R shoulder pinches like hell no matter how much work I do so I just do something different. No exercise or movement is dangerous if you control and own the movement. The lack of awareness of that leads to injury.

@@gravitytraining6516 well shoulder IR should be about 70 degrees in supine. But go through the movement with very very light weight using proper cues from a video or someone experienced. If you can't perform a movement full range without any additional weight/pain you can't do full range with load. Now yes you can shorten the range but you have to know your limits before letting momentum pull you beyond your range of control. It's a lift I'd personally reserve for more experienced lifters who know their body well but that's just me.

So up right rows are good? Rippetoe says and made a video bashing the up right rows. Who’s right? Lol

As much as I love your advice and listen to your podcast frequently, I have to disagree. Upright rows put your shoulders on internal elevation for reps. They are terrible for your shoulders and longevity. Follow Jeff Cavaliere on this one y'all!

Jeff Cavaliere is a fraud

Nah I have to completely disagree here fellas. This is literally one of the worst shoulder exercises. It most definitely leads to shoulder impingement in many people. Just avoid it altogether. There are many superior shoulder exercises anyway.
