The cable rope upright row is a variation of the upright row and an exercise used to build the muscles of the shoulders and traps. Utilizing the cable pulley machine is useful in that it provides constant tension on the target muscle group as you move the weight through the range of motion.

One of the main advantages of the upright row is that it is perhaps the only open chain multijoint movement that targets the middle deltoid, making it a desirable exercise for many lifters. Although the exercise has known benefits, execution is not without risk as a result of the exercise's propensity to produce subacromial impingement. This risk may be mitigated through instruction of the individual to avoid elevation of the elbows above the shoulder height. Those with existing subacromial impingement who have pain during performance of the upright row are advised to elevate to an angle below the shoulder height that does not provoke symptoms or to avoid the exercise altogether. —-As a general rule, the bar should be pulled as close to the body as possible throughout the movement so as to maintain optimal stress on the middle deltoid. In addition, it is important to pull through the elbows, not the wrist, so as to maximize muscle activity at the shoulder. #fitnessmotivation #fitness #shoulderworkout #uprightrow #bellesfitness #nyc #fitspo #trainer #movement #fitnessmodel #core #yoga #barbell (at Crunch - FiDi)
