Just did upright rows today…

[jaxqen]

Yeah, not a fan of upright rows anymore. Used to do them but my back never responded. Started lifting heavy barbell movements and my back started growing significantly. Don't see the advantage.

It's a shoulder and upper trap exercise, not a back one, dude.

Because it is shoulder exercise.

[ChunkBuster]

I do. That is my main upper back exercise. Both with neutral grip one day, Pronated on another.

Same. I switched to it about 2 months ago. Great exercise.

I know it's already been said ITT, but just to clarify: upright rows are a shoulder/trap exercise, not a back exercise.

Are you maybe thinking of bent over rows?

[EliKoehn]

Yeah, my bad guys. I got this mistaken with the low row machine (Hammer Strength, I think), which is an upper back/rear delt exercise and simply misread the name. Whoops. I'm aware of upright rows and do them occasionally.

[GeneralSerpant]

Maybe the hammer row should be called the upright row.

Maybe the hammer row should be called the upright row.

And henceforth the upright row shall be called the bent-arm lateral shrug.

I find it interesting that although the traps are on the posterior chain, you get only the upper using the behind the back upright row, as opposed to the entire trap being stressed when done in front of you(according to exrx). Why is it that a front loaded lift is better for a body part located in the rear than a rear loaded lift? Range of motion on behind the back not allowing for more of the trap to be used?
