So glad you made this video, a few weeks ago I was working out with a friend who told me about upright rows. I tried them and really hurt my shoulder, couldn't work out for a week. After seeing you do them I know I was definitely doing them wrong, thanks for showing the proper technique. Gonna give them another shot because it definitely looks like a good workout.
Last time I went I injured my arm doing too much too fast. I don't want to injure myself again doing something improperly. This is very helpful to me. More of these types of videos will give me more confidence to try again. Good stuff!
Glad I found this video because I've been doing upright rows all wrong. I'm now on going to do it just like you did in the video. Thanks so much for teaching me how to do it properly.
Best video on upright rows . I love this exercise . One of the most complex exercises i know about . He did it better than anyone I've seen so far . This is a forearm and shoulder work out with the biceps and traps going along for a little ride. I've been doing this exercise for years . I have wide shoulders and thick firearms.
this is great advice cheers..... i have recently got over an injury from training, and its took me a while to realise i injured myself doing up right rows wrong, i was over extending my wrists(bending) at the top and ended up hurting both my forarms.... took 12 months to heal..... i only used to do them with light weights as a burn out at the end of my work out lol.....
I just love these video's because they are able to communicate information in such an easy to understand and effective way! Once again very important and effective information!
Since I have heavier Dumbbells, I only do Overheard Press, and DB upright rows, (Wide Arc, Slight Lean), DB rear delt rows... Shoulders are my most attractive feature right now, along with back

My rear delts are very weak and I have dislocation issues with external rotation. How can I strengthen my rear delts without fear of dislocation and prevent injury in the future?
Hey Pinocchio, thanks for writing in and great question. If you cannot perform external rotation movements, your best bet to work your rear delts are from a variety of rowing motions. We would recommend doing them from a variety of angles to help build functional strength in the muscles and the following list of rows are all great options: Bench dumbbell row, standing bent-over row, incline bench row, standing cable face-pulls, or T-Bar row. If they are a concern of yours, we also recommend to them earlier in the routine, or to double-up, instead of casting them to the end. -The FFP Team
I’m 55 and was very close to buying your old school muscle program. I decided to read the terms and conditions. Did I read correctly that most people will gain weight/fat and not get the results you’re advertising? Please clarify this for me.

Why not we stop the row 3/4 or middle of its course (that is upto chest level).. I think in that case there would not be external rotation. Am i right if i say that a very wide grip may not cause problem even if the barbell is raised high. Please clarify. Kindly execuse me if my question is absurd.
Hey PRE, thanks for writing in and that's an excellent point. However, by getting the weights up just a tad higher, we can get a little more flexion in our shoulders. But you are right, that it's a fine-line for sure. Thanks for watching and happy lifting! -The FFP Team
