This variation of the upright row uses a rope to promote a high pull and wide elbow path, helping you build capped shoulders and a strong upper back.
Instructions
- Sit at a low pulley machine with a rope handle and a straight back.
- Grab the rope ends with a pronated grip and extend your arms forward.
- Pull the rope toward your neck by lifting your elbows outward and up, keeping your torso still.
- Pause when your hands are near your ears, then return to the start.
- Repeat with control for the desired number of reps.
