Tubing Upright Row Workout

Video Transcript

"The upright row is a good overall upper body exercise. It became a really kind of contested exercise because of the positioning of the wrists in opposition to the elbow but if you are working within your active range of motion and not trying to hyper flex then you should be pretty good to the joint. If it is something that is not for you, when in doubt leave it out, every exercise is not for everybody but this is a good one if you just watch yourself in the mirror and make sure when we contract up we've got a nice line there with the wrist, elbow, and shoulder. And you'll feel biceps, shoulders, lats in the back, anterior and posterior delt kick in but like I said it really engages a lot of upper body muscle but you've just got to make sure that it works for you and you are letting the joint dictate the movement, muscle fire towards its belly. Now if I can cross these and work just side by side I have less resistance so you might want to start there and then as you graduate or progress you can cross them to get more resistance and you can walk your feet out further to create more of a challenge and resistance in the tubing and contract and release. Of course, inhale before you start the movement, exhale on exertion, working 10 to 15 reps, three sets each."
