One arm upright row

[marcus300]

Just wanted to post this video for you guys to check out. Ive used this technique for a few years now and its really helped with my shoulder development. I prefer leaning slightly to target the out head a bit more and the burn is really intense

[zempey]

Will give it a try tomorrow since it is shoulder day. I haven't been able to do them with the bar due to injury, but this might be doable.

I stopped doing upright rows due to some pains I was getting but when I started doing them with the db the flow of the movement is far better and doesn't cause any pain what so ever now. Ive also added some quality tissue to the delts since using them and I don't use them all the time just now and again.

A friend showed me this technique a few months ago, I've never been a fan of standard upright rows as it's a terrible position to put the shoulder in. This is a much better movement for shoulder health, I haven't given them a proper chance since I forgot about them but I may do them in place of laterals, since they cause pain for me as well.

Thanks for the post!

They not a standard exercise I use all the time but I do throw them in a few times per month and they really are a great movement. I try my best to get as much blood into my shoulder before doing any compound movements these days so I normally pre exhaust and start with laterals very strict and a lot of stretching. This seems to help my RC issues.

i'll give it a try.

I'm having some real good success on the seated horizontal one arm rows. Strength seems to be exploding, maintaining form, pyramiding up and down. But this looks like one I can add.........

Did them today, aside from a little pinch in my screwed up elbow, they felt good. The range of motion feels way better than with the bar, I will be incorporating these into my workouts for a while to see the results.

Sounds good

[Times Roman]

agree. it is always a great idea to keep rotating exercises and not get into a rut or allow your muscles to adapt to the routine. this will be something to add to the arsenal. I try to hit shoulders at least three different ways each time I hit the muscle group (twice a week).

the great thing about have a large gym is that when your "favorite" station is taken, look for alternates. Another way to force yourself to vary your routines.

[Times Roman]

so today is legs, and tomorrow is pulling routines, including rows. I will give this one a shot, definitely............

[Times Roman]

I was set back a couple of days, but today is the day I will give this routine a try.

Let us know how it feels for you

I tried it the other day and it felt really good, much better than with a barbell. No pain, great ROM and a great contraction.

[Times Roman]

goddamit.....

........I forgot. I have so much on my plate from work, even at the gym I'm still processing work activities

I'll remember next time

one arm rows today with good form is last set of 8 reps with 3 45lb plates and 2 35lb plates. I could have saved some of that CNS energy for the verticals.....

Great exercise..... I use it along with single arm dumbell shrugs for a change up.

Ima try this out next shoulder day. Which way do u lean tho? Towards side of dumbbell or away from the arm being worked?

Love these

[gainz4dayz17]

Did these today supersetted after heavy db presses. Burned so good. Thanks for the tip, Marcus.

I've been doing the 2 db upright row for a while. I gotta give the single version a try. DBs are far superior to the BB for upright rows. The BB version can cause serious impingement in the shoulder joint and sometimes the neck. Thanks Marcus.

I tried these today and I felt them much more in the shoulder than in the back.
Since I do this for my back I think i'll go back to barbell, but i'm glad I experienced the difference.

It's not a back exercise?

You don't feel these in your mid back around the spine?

Its an upright row for the shoulders but with a DB instead of a barbell. Its not a back movement

[zempey]

Did them today, still have a bit of pain in the right shoulder and top of the forearm, but it felt great on my left side.

You may be leaning too far forward when doing these. You could even turn them into a trap movement if you wanted to. Watch yourself do the movement in front of a mirror. That may help.
