Why? Never had issues...



Ok thanks for the advice! So i should do them all the way from the ground up or use a squat rack to put the barbell down halfway? Form the ground up probably increases recruitment....

both are good. off the rack hits traps harder but you can do more weight from the floor.

The Upright Row exercise is done to develop the shoulders and traps. Holding a barbell or dumbells in front of your with a close, overhand grip, you pull the weight up to your chest, keeping it close to your body, leading with your elbows.

The Upright Row is one of the most harmful exercises you can expose your shoulders to. The problem with the exercise lies in the position your arms must be in in order to perform the movement. This position is called "internal rotation."

To demonstrate internal rotation, hold your arms straight out to the sides with your palms down. Now rotate your hands forward as if you were pouring out a glass of water in each. To do the upright row, the arms are bent at the elbow then internally rotated.

Internal rotation itself is not necessarily bad for your shoulders. The problem comes when you raise the arms up and add resistance in that position. Every time you raise the weight, a small tendon in your shoulder gets pinched (known as impingement) by the bones in the shoulder.

This may not hurt immediately; it may not even hurt for a long, long time. The problem is the tendon will gradually become worn down and damaged. You may not even know you have a problem until one day the tendon snaps!

When I see someone w/ small traps I figure they dont Deadlift...shyt looks odd.


Do you cats believe Herschel Walker when he says all he has ever done is calisthenics?

I haven't deadlifted for years and I'm a trap god. All I do is smith machine shrugs and upright rows.
