hey guys
I was wondering if I could switch out upright rows for seated DB press?? I've always done upright rows with all different kinds of grips. but I've never really looked forward to do them. I stuck with them b/c its the second best shoulder builder. I wanted to switch for anoth mass builder b/c compound is where its at.
this is my old/current shoulder routin e
seated bb military press 3 working 2 werm ups
upright rows 1 werm up 3 working
side laterals 3 working
bent DB laterals 3 working
thanks guys

Try arnold presses and other variation of upright rows using cables or dumbells.

for me, upright rows hit my traps much more than my delts.
I think that seated barbell press and seated dumbell presses are the 2 best mass builders for deltoids.

I feel the same way

I would say change your grip to a little closer than shoulder width and bring the bar up to your eyes for upright rows. thats what Burtil Fox suggested and he had GREAT Delts, and traps.

I have never done upright rows for shoulders. Only for the traps. I've tried a workout where I did 20 sets of upright rows and nothing else to see which muscles would be sore, just to see what I was actually hitting. Traps and upper back were sore, nothing else. The distance your hands are apart does supposedly make a difference however.

Tried upright row with dumbells or ez-barbell?

Never tried dumbells. I like doing them with cables though. EZ bard doesn't do it for me.

I like high pulls...less pain in the shoulders

Iv been using an ez bar for upright rows. close grip i feel hits more traps, wer as shoulder width (or wider) seems to hit delts more.
I did these after sum benching the other day and was still feeling delts 5 days later.

Do u feel they really hit delts well??
I know u use power moves alot mike, but as a mass builder do they cut it??

It's a football players specialty and they have no problems in delt mass as far as I can see. To be honest, I just think it's safer. That wider grip feels much more comfortable and there's a lot less torque on the shoulder.

So u think there less torque doing high pulls than there is doing ex upright rows, might try it.
+ wen doing high pulls, u lift the bar to forehead height dont u (like in ur vid)??
U feel it in shoulders alot then. i might try it once im stalled on upright rows?!
