A standing dumbbell upright row targets your shoulders and upper back, helping you build strength and definition. This exercise promotes shoulder health by engaging multiple muscles, improving posture, and enhancing overall mobility.
Doing Dumbbell Upright Rows The Right Way
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand.
- Keep your back straight, arms fully extended, with palms facing your body.
- Lift the dumbbells by raising your elbows out to the sides, stopping at shoulder height.
- Lower back to the starting position, maintaining control. Repeat.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Avoid lifting your elbows above shoulder height to reduce the risk of shoulder impingement.
- Keep your hands spaced correctly and avoid rounding your shoulders forward.
- Maintain a controlled motion throughout to ensure proper form and prevent injury.
