it's hard to say, upright rows were 'thrown into the abyss' because they were SHOWN to cause shoulder impingement. Yet with a highly compound exercise such as the TGU its easy to assume it strains the joints, especially the shoulder in this case.
I haven't done these in a long time, and i'm going to start soon, and I just have this philosophy:
-Everything is a double-edged sword, weigh the sides and then decide
The TGU is a great core/shoulder exercise that targets every muscle, even if we assume that with correct form its bad mechanically, do the benefits outweight the costs? And will conditioning your shoulders better aleviate the pain since you get used to the mechanisms? In the end its your personal choice, I personally AM a fan of them, although thats probably irrelevant if you're deciding if they're the best for you.
