Cable Upright Row Video Exercise Guide

The cable 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.

Some people prefer to avoid the upright row as it can cause some degree of shoulder impingement and shoulder discomfort. Experiment for yourself to see if this is a movement that you should personally avoid.
