How to Cable Upright Row

Starting Position

2. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart and slightly bend your knees to maintain a stable position.

Proper Form

1. Pull the bar close to your body while spreading your elbows out to the sides.

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

3. and then 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 too high to your chin, it puts a lot of strain on your shoulders, so lift only to chest height.

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