Cable Upright Row

How to Do Cable Upright Row:

1. Starting Position: Stand facing the cable machine with a straight bar attached. Grip the bar with both hands, palms facing your body, and arms fully extended.
2. Form: Exhale and pull the bar straight up towards your chin, keeping your elbows higher than your hands. Focus on lifting with your shoulders, not your arms.
3. Squeeze: At the top, pause and squeeze your traps for a second to fully engage the muscles.
4. Lower: Inhale and slowly lower the bar back to the starting position with control.
5. Repeat: Perform 3-4 sets of 10-12 reps, maintaining good posture and a steady pace.

Cable Upright Row Benefits:

• Targets Traps & Deltoids: Effectively isolates the trapezius and deltoid muscles, adding width to the shoulders and building bigger traps.
• Shoulder Development: Promotes balanced shoulder growth by focusing on the upper traps and lateral deltoids.
• Improves Posture: Strengthening the traps and shoulders can help improve overall posture and shoulder stability.
• Form Focus: It's essential to use a moderate weight to avoid improper form and to maximize muscle engagement while preventing injury.

The Cable Upright Row is an excellent exercise for building a strong, wide upper body and enhancing shoulder strength and stability.
