Avoid upright rows?
Should i incoporate upright rows? Variety purposes..
I heard it might cause shoulder impingement.
Sumo high pull ISNT the same mechanics but it still involves with shoulders raised in an upright position?
So why is it still accepted?

Re: Avoid upright rows?
upright rows when done with a narrow grip isn't that great for shoulder health as it combines shoulder abduction w/o external rotation.
the shoulder isn't that involved in a proper sdhp so they can't be directly compared. however, many people don't like the sdhp either

does this mean that an upright row with a shoulder - width or greater grip is recommended?galapogos wrote:upright rows when done with a narrow grip isn't that great for shoulder health as it combines shoulder abduction w/o external rotation.

If you have to do upright rows, then yes that would be the lesser of 2 evils.

Re: Avoid upright rows?
I find that seated rows give more stability to the lumbar, allowing more thoracic stability and the muscle activation as it hits it better than up right rows where alot of other things come into play and makes the movement funky.
Working "hard," or the perception of working hard, doesn't really mean anything. Sweating, vomiting, and breathing hard could be a good workout or a tropical disease kicking in.-Dan John

haha... go heavy on that seated upright rows.. and it becomes cleans instead.Weib wrote:I find that seated rows give more stability to the lumbar, allowing more thoracic stability and the muscle activation as it hits it better than up right rows where alot of other things come into play and makes the movement funky.
Anyway, how to do upright row seated? Thats a very short range of motion.

Re: Avoid upright rows?
dips is usually a horizontal push as well, so you could to pair it with another horizontal pull if you're doing antagonistic pairing. however why are you doing 3 horizontal pushes? i don't think you need to do flat, incline bench and dips.

Re: Avoid upright rows?
erm unfortunately my training at this point in time denies me the pleasure of other workouts
so three work out days centred around those plus pullups shoulder press

Re: Avoid upright rows?
Why do upright rows when there are better exercises around? Push press and strict press are hard to beat for effectiveness and balanced risk-injury ratios.
