Precautions and Tips for Barbell Upright Row
Make sure your elbows are always higher than your forearms.
Your body should remain fixed with back straight. Avoid leaning forwards when you bring down the bar. If you move your body, you make the lift easier and won’t get the most benefit from the workout.
Hold the lift at the top of the movement and squeeze your traps. Then lower the bar slowly to increase the intensity of your exercise.
