There is no such thing, no way can you do a true upright row behind your back. Even if it is another form of an exercise like behind the back shrugs (or a half ass upright row behind the back as far as the human body will allow you to lift a bar) and someone names it behind the back upright rows they will be naming the exercise totally wrong.

Actually, I have read that Lee Haney was a big advocate of behind the back rows. That picture looks like he is trying to row behind his back and not just shrug. The elbows are going higher in the picture and not his deltoids. ROM isn't going to be as good as front rows obviously.
I stand by my original feeling that my shoulders would fall off if I did these.Journal:

What Haney is doing is what he refers to as a "behind the back upright row". It's a hybrid between a shrug and an upright row since the elbows bend as in the latter, but obviously they can't go high at all. He uses it as an alternative to behind the back shrugging.
I remember I read about them and tried them when I was at Gold's Venice, where if you're walking around, you'll see all kinds of weird variations of exercises. Maybe seeing all that inspired me. Anyway...
I tried em on a power rack and my butt kept getting in the way. Tried a Smith, and though it did clear my butt, I had to lean back so far, it felt too precarious. Not an exercise I'd probably use since there are better/safer variations, especially for those with rotator issues.Keep on hulkin'.
I won't quit till no shirt will fit.
