Dumbbell Upright Rows

Bodypart: Shoulders | Biceps | Triceps
Equipment: Dumbbells

Hold dumbbells with a pronated, palms forward grip. With a slight bend at the elbows, exhale and use your side shoulders to lift dumbbells up near your chin. Return slowly to waist level.

Comments and tips

• Upright rowing exercises such as this one can damage the shoulders of some people. For shoulder safety, keep your body upright, your shoulders back, your chest out, and the dumbbells at either shoulder width or wider. Also, do not pull the dumbbells up any higher than your lower or middle chest.

• Pull with your elbows, not with your biceps.

• The upper trapezius and lavator scapulae act as important stabilizers for the dumbbell wide-grip upright row. They do not act as synergists.
