Upright Rows, Dumbbell

Type: Shoulder
An alternative exercise to the barbell upright row. The dumbbell variation of the upright row helps to balance out the upper back and shoulder muscles as it fires up more individual muscle fibres than the barbell version. Alternating the variations between your workouts creates variety and stimulation. It's a great upper body exercise and will really help to broaden out the base of the neck and the shoulder line.
Level :  Equipment : Yes
Upper Shoulders
Biceps
Front Shoulders
Mid Back
Upper Back

Upright Rows, Dumbbell Steps:

Step 1:
Take a pair of dumbbells with an overhand grasp.

Step 2:
Rest the dumbbells on the thighs at the start position.

Step 3:
Gradually raise the arms upwards along the abdomen towards the chin.

Step 4:
At the top the elbows should be higher than the wrists, above the shoulders and pointing out to the sides.

Step 5:
Slowly lower back to the start position and repeat.

Top Tip:

To add variation, increase the intesity and improve coordination, then try alternating the movement by raising one arm after the other.
