Dumbbell Upright Row

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01Stand tall with the dumbbells in front of your thighs, arms straight, and trunk firmly braced.
2. 02Lead with the elbows as you draw them upward and outward while keeping the dumbbells close to your body.
3. 03Stop at a comfortable height near the lower chest or shoulder line rather than forcing the elbows higher.
4. 04Pause briefly with the wrists below the elbows, neck relaxed, and shoulders free of pinching or pain.
5. 05Lower the dumbbells under control to full arm extension and reset before repeating.
