Single Arm Upright Row w/ Resistance Bar
How to Do:
- Place the resistance bar flat on the ground in front of you.
- Stand on the middle of the bar with your feet shoulder-width apart to stabilize it.
- Grasp the handle with one hand, keeping your arm straight and your palm facing your body.
- Exhale and pull the handle upwards, leading with your elbow, making sure your elbow is higher than your wrist.
- Raise the handle to shoulder height or slightly higher, then pause briefly at the top.
- Slowly lower the handle back down to the starting position while inhaling.
- Complete the set, then repeat on the other arm.
Benefits:
The single-arm upright row with a resistance bar targets the deltoid muscles, specifically the lateral (middle) deltoids, and the trapezius muscles. It helps build shoulder strength, enhances upper body stability, and improves posture. The movement also strengthens the muscles responsible for shoulder and scapular movement, contributing to better shoulder mobility and function.
