Upright rows Vs Side laterals

[wes]

You can also do "armpit rows"............drag dumbells up the sides of your body as if you are trying to pull them into your armpits............tense at the top......great peak contraction for the traps !!

Yeah the dumbbell "armpit" rows are awesome. Great after some heavy shrugs.

Thanks to Wes I just learned something new. Arm pit rows. Seems it would  affect the biceps strongly also. Good Luck.

thanks for that

No problem guys.........been training forever.


Stand with dumbells at the sides of your legs,pull up dumbells as high as you can(won`t be all the way to the armpit obviously),hold for a second or two while squeezing the traps,lower under control,and repeat!!

Makes me feel good when I can show a person like you with tons of knowledge something new.

Always enjoy your posts.

Keep pumping!!!!!!

Wes: Thanks for the props and the different slant on training. Always willing to learn and keep an open mind when it comes to workouts. Good Luck.

doesn't matter.  uprights will fuck up your shoulders if you're not VERY careful with them.  Even if you are careful, I'd still bet they'll fuck 'em up.

never had shoulder probs from uprights...

elbow problems yes !

hey bros whenever your doing your upright do you occasionally feel it in your bi's a little bit...?

[wes]

Biceps will be activated just as they are in most pulling movements.

Very hard to truly isolate only one muscle at a time without assistance from other muscles.

yea that is a good point...i dont know what it is but i was doin the upright with a straight bar but last 2 weeks maybe ive started doing them on the cable machine and i just feel alot of bi's in the movement i dont like it...the thing i am going to try if i can remember are those arm-pit rows..we will see
