How to Do Upright Barbell Rows

[desmcc01]

rubbish. swinging/cheating reps helps, if you do it the right way

[SuperLalalas]

@desmcc01 i'd rather not act macho and use a weight i can lift properly

[MrAnswer2Q]

@SuperLalalas nah, you should go as heavy as you can without cheating too much, you should not be able to do the last 2 or 3 properly so the cheating should be allowed then

[SuperLalalas]

@MrAnswer2Q "as heavy as you can". then why would cheating be necessary

[blade83336]

what differences is there if i use dumbbells instead of a bar??

[TheFineolase]

@blade83336 using dunbells will help to even out muscle becuase you are lifting the same weight with side of your body, if you use a barbell you could be using 1 side of your a bit more to lift the bar

[emericaordie15]

should i do this on back day or shoulder???

[leafsyo11]

@emericaordie15

shoulder.

[emericaordie15]

@leafsyo11 decided back cause it's trapsss

[coolguy124578235689]

@iplayc0d yeah my wrists hurt a bit, too (especially my right wrist), but my grip was much wider than the guy in the video.

[PewPewPutzPutz]

SOMEONE WHO DOES THEM RIGHT! Wow.

[iplayc0d]

Does this hurt anyone else's wrists after a few reps?

[southport97]

@iplayc0d use an ez curl bar that takes the pressure off wrists and elbow, it's the best for this exercise.

[kibo357]

this guy have some bugs sometimes when he speak lmao :p

[wade929]

Why does the other upright row video have more views than this one?

[FelinoImploso]

Great way to badly damage the shoulders.

[danbarnosu]

what if I increase the size of the grip...what effect would that have?

[vinegarthomas]

Thanks for this helpful video.

[bambarby]

...and this move is better using dumbbells. Using barbell is hard on the shoulders.

[SinisterSkip]

@bambarby

Not nessesarily. It depends on your shoulder flexibility. It's partly also just a matter of getting comfortable with the motion. I'm using an easy bar when doing the upright rows, I feel zero stress on the shoulders, so you're wrong.

[ysuicidey]

your not rocking because your using no weight you daft twat..

[4800Michael]

0:07 purely because i love the way americans say the word 'row' :D

[derek94gt]

@4800Michael thats southern american.. wisconsin we dont talk like that

[bambarby]

@4800Michael wat? how else do you say row?

[ericlams]

@4800Michael how do u say it?

[WWForever100]

@4800Michael I think we can say the same about British Mexican Chinese and every other nationality.

[BXAssasinatorXS]

@4800Michael How the hell else could you say it?

[SuperSaiyanX]

@4800Michael rooow lol

[MrJByrne3]

Thanks for the instruction.



[Citizen6935]

That movement is very bad for the shoulders. Ask a doctor or physical therapist...

[rplende]

@Citizen6935 Ask Arnold Schwarzenneger he did heaps of them. Any exercise performed incorrectly has the potential for damage and injury.

[Expl0rati0n]

@Citizen6935

Please explain how its bad.

[pray4somesense]

@prettyboyfloydish No shit sherlock.

[pray4somesense]

'Notice im not slinging the weights up'

I don't see any weights in this video xD

[QuicksilverdotFX]

@pray4somesense Barbell is 45lbs. Idiot.

[SteroidsToTheUK]

@QuicksilverdotFX ...Like I said, where's the weight...

[Tisto20]

This exercise put allot of unnecessary strain on the shoulders.

Pluss, its not effective at all, targeting the traps.

Good form though.

[bizarrebob]

@Tisto20 - i find this exercise hurts my wrists

[TheKentuckykid9513]

@bizarrebob experiment with different grip width

[BrandonTboxer10]

@bizarrebob Try the EZ curl bar close grip that should be better on your wrists

[bizarrebob]

@BrandonTboxer10 - thanks Brandon, ill give that a go

[bodybuildingmethod]

This video explains pretty well the upright barbell row. However, you can also put your hands shoulder-width apart instead of the 6-8inches to get the best workout.

[lordOFbrooklyn]

this exercise pinches my nerves in my shoulder, not a fan

[Bystronicman08]

Should i do this exercise on back day or shoulder day?

[davidtibble7]

The tempo of the way he is doing the exercise is GREAT!....if you want to go to sleep! lol!

Power! Power! Power!

PEACE

[lociz1]

"......after you complete the set, inject a large dose of roids up your bumhole"

[gooderson1]

i find this works my shoulder rather than my traps

[Keeperz1]

hear what he says @ 0.49

[RogerStyers]

@Keeperz1 0:49

[lokrenzo]

@gooderson1 arent u suppose to use weights

[Anarchyffan]

@lokrenzo No, because of the strain it puts on your shoulders you could seriously injure yourself if you're lifting more than 20lb.s.

[pray4somesense]

@Anarchyffan BS I upright row with 110 lbs without any problems at all. Perhaps YOU might injure yourself with more than 20lbs, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with the exercise if performed properly.

[redmenace1917]

Great! thank you!

[danr239]

Are upright rows safe, I've been doing them for years but lately have read that they are unsafe and can really damage your shoulders - is this just bullshit?
