Cable Upright Row

Targets: Upper trap, Side delt

About

This row targets your side delts and upper traps.

How to Cable Upright Row

Starting Position

1. Stand in front of the cable machine, holding the bar or handles with both hands and placing them in front of your thighs.

2. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, with your knees slightly bent to maintain a stable position.

Proper Form

1. Pull the bar close to your body while flaring your elbows out to the side.

2. Raise it only to the middle to upper part of your chest.

3. Slowly lower it back to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you lift the bar, and inhale when you lower it.

Precautions

1. If you lift it excessively up to your chin, it puts a lot of strain on your shoulders, so only lift it to chest height.

2. Keep your wrists straight and don't be greedy with the weight.
