Upright Cable Row

Shoulders · Cable

How to do it

Low pulley with a bar or rope. Same motion as with a barbell but with constant tension and a bit more freedom in the path, which usually sits better with the shoulder. Pull to your sternum with high elbows and lower slowly. You feel the side delt. If anything pinches, stop: there is no need to push through an exercise that hurts.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
