Opinions of upright rows
I'm just wondering what your opinions of them are.
I've read several places that they are potentially damaging to your arms since it puts them in an unnatural, vulnerable position. Then i've heard they are beneficial in strengthening the rear delts.
I don't do them myself since it just feels line an unnatural movement.Last edited by SheLifts; 07-11-2007 at 08:18 AM.

I don't like em at all. I haven't done them since I had a real bad shooing pain in my shoulder while doing them, that was almost 2 years ago now.

I do them because I can't raise my shoulders above my head during an exercise and because they are the heaviest exercise that I can do with that limitation.
They do seem to work for me. A lot of people don't like them because of the torque it places on the wrists.So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

yeah, I used to do them but noticed a shooting pain like Repro had mentioned, in my shoulders. especially when I slept on them. stopped doing the exercise and the pain went away. haven't done them since.

They were in my last program and i really enjoy doing them - and felt the benefit, but they did occasionally hurt my wrists. Nothing major, just a twang here and there. I'll be putting them back into my program again at some point no doubt.

Bad for the wrists and the shoulder. Never done em.
They're not for the posterior delts, rather the lateral ones and the traps btw.

I made a thread last week about my rear delts hurting while doing pullups, and I think the cause for the injury was doing upright rows.

Their hurt my wrist, plus my right shoulder doesn't rotate the same as my left shoulder, so it looks really stupid when I do them.

I see virtually no reason that anyone needs to do upright rows. There are too many alternatives to develop your delts without the risk of impingment and wrist issues. If anything, use dumbbells so you don't have to internally rotate your shoulders 100%, and your wrists will like your better too.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

Maybe I'm just lucky because I never hurt my wrist or shoulders doing them. I hurt the outside of my right elbow. : (

I have tennis elbow does that mean that I mastrubate too much or that upright rows have bad forms.
