Upright rows

The upright row is performed while standing upright and pulling a weight from the waist to upper chest in a straight line up the torso.

It is a compound exercise that also involves the trapezius and the biceps. The narrower the grip the more the trapezius muscles are exercised.

It can be done with a barbell, dumbbells or using a resistance machine (pulley machine) as shown in the photo.
