If you have inflexible wrists, use the EZ bar.

not sure what the difference is, if any, but it won't take out the traps out of the exercise.

Why do you want to take the traps out?

Try lying DB lateral raises to isolate medial delts better.Originally Posted by doitbig191
Yes, there is a point. It is easier on the wrists compared to a straight bar.Originally Posted by doitbig191

Try using differnt grip widths. I heard a wider grip works the shoulders more but it could be bro scienceOriginally Posted by doitbig191

there is a difference...
i had major problems doing upright rows with a flat bar... i tried the ezgirl bar but couldnt do it with 45's... had to use multiple 25's or my forearm would hit the plates...
i finally found a way to go back to the straight bar and it all comes down to form... the higher your elbows are at the top, the less stress and pain on your wrists... lift those elbows high like chicken wings and you should be good to go...I may never win the war against gravity, but every week I win a battle by raising a few more pounds than the week before.

Just get the straight bar and use a grip a little wider than shoulder width, used to work well for me.

Like others have said-wide grip upright rows will work your side delts while a narrow grip will work the traps and front delts. I do lateral raises for my side delts and they work fine.

to isolate the upper traps doesnt that mean it will have to constitute a shrugging motion because thats its line of pull? dont shrug your shoulders and isolate delts and you will be fine.

yes wider is less traps, but you cannot take traps out of the movement

Lying lateral raises are pretty good.
Upright rows are more of a traps exercise. You can't do them without involving your traps.

Keep the bar from raising too high when you do upright rows, and you'll limit trap involvement.
