I'm gonna do upright rows for the first time today. In order to avoid injury, first and foremost, an to perform the exercise as effectively as possible, I was hoping to get some suggestions as to exactly how to perform them. I appreciate any advice...
1. What bar do you use?
2. Completly upright or slightly bent over?
3. How wide are your hands?
4. How far updo you go?
5. Any pertinant questions I'm missing...
-Off to work, will check before my workout tonight. Thanks again.

are you doing them for shoulders? If so, then wide grip is the choice.
I use a flat barbell, and use an outside shoulder width grip. Although my grip might change, as I tailor it to comfort. I try to make it so my wrist is more neutral at the top of the lift, as those are a trouble spot for me at times.
I stand upright, but generally as the set goes on, I use some sloppy form to cheat up some reps. So it can be looked at as sloppy form upright rows, or pretty tame/strict high pulls.
As far as height, the bar won't be much higher than your chest.-

while i do upright rows b/c i benefit from them personally, he is right in saying that it is a pretty dangerous one that can have other very suitable substitute exercises.
i use a bb, shoulder width hand placement, only up to about the nipz level. ne higher and i feel that bad bad injury strain on the wrist. oh and also, very slow and controlled movement for this exercise. slower than ne other..the rotator cuff is a very fragile piece of your shoulder and easily injured.

you've failed to enlighten us on how we are so wrong.
I still am pretty positive STYD is right, and you are ignorant, but I would like to see what you have to say first, before making that affirmation.
Be tea dub, barbell rows are for the back, upright rows are not. Upright rows are a compound. With each post, your ignorance is magnified.-

No one is saying dumbbell/barbell rowing aren't effective or necessary. Don't know why you are trying to compare two different exercises which target different muscle groups.
Upright rows are an old school exercise which target upper traps and shoulders. Yes, some people do have impingement problems with the extreme narrow grip version of them. For those people, just don't do them or widen the grip. Many people find them very effective.
Don't be a douchebag and make personal attacks when you are in fact, ignorant yourself of the facts.
