Do you guys recommend doing wide grip upright rows for side delts? I'm kind of getting bored with seated lateral dumbell raises and thought I'd give these a shot.
I plan on doing them 4 sets, reps of 10,8,6,4 while increasing weight each set.

I believe they are superior for increasing muscle fiber size in the medial deltoids. You have a leverage advantage with the wide-grip upright rows and this allows you to use more resistance.
Thnaks striker93. Anyone else? I could really use the help.
are you using straps??
to grow you need to change the exercise that you are doing.. and to use heavier weights..
I have a strong grip.. but by using straps or hooks, you can engage the muscles that you want and get a better load..
I've used straps for shrugs but not upright rows.
If I use them for upright rows, will I be able to do heavier poundages, thus helping my side delts grow?
Yes! When I've plateaued on upright rows (I've used them for single-joint exercises like barbell curls, side laterals, etc.), I put the straps on and busted through the plateau.Quote:
