Barbell Upright Row

What is this machine?

Vipunosto tangolla on vapailla painoilla tehtävä liike, joka kuormittaa ensisijaisesti Shoulders.

Liikkeessä työskentelevät myös Shoulders ja Selkälihakset.

The exercise demands controlled technique, so it is worth learning with light weights or under guidance.

An exercise with free weights demands more stabiliser muscles and balance than the equivalent machine exercise.

⚠️ Most common mistake: Pulling the bar too high past shoulder level, which jams the shoulder joint and risks front-shoulder strain. Using a grip that is too narrow, which forces the wrists into an awkward angle and shifts work off the delts. Heaving the bar up with body english instead of leading with the elbows in a controlled pull. Letting the bar drift away from the body, which kills side-delt tension and loads the lower back.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Shoulders. The Shoulders, Selkälihakset assist.
