How to EZ-bar Upright Row

Starting Position

1. Hold the EZ bar with an overhand grip at shoulder width and place it in front of your thighs.

2. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart and your upper body straight.

Proper Form

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

2. Raise it to the center of your chest to just above the sternum.

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 raise it excessively up to just below your chin, it puts a strain on your shoulders. Raise it only to chest height.

2. Keep the bar close to your body to prevent your wrists from bending.
