On a serious note, I hear the regular mid-to-close grip version is a proven shoulder wrecker. The wider grip version others say really hits the lateral head nicely.

What are your respective mom's opinions on this?

When I occasionally do upright rows I use a rope and it takes most of the stress off your shoulder joint, I just started doing face pulls with a rope again if you put the attachment about chest high and take a few steps back it seems to hit everything a upright row hits plus much safer on the shoulders.

I shoulder shrug 450 lb. Wheelbarrows filled to the brim with gold that I deliver to my basement safe for 50 ultra slow reps twice a day.
