When are you guys doing upright rows?

[Goosey]

Upright rows, of course

Yeah, but what's that got to do with preferring pull-ups?

I find they work best as part of your shoulder workout, especially at the end when your shoulders are fatigued and you can really feel the exercise.

If they hurt, chances are you're doing them wrong. Elbows need to come up first, and no higher than shoulder height. The bar should also be very close to the body.

I do a push/pull split, and I do them on pull days. Don't do them all the time though, tend to alternate between upright rows and shrugs.

As steveP said, I don't lift elbows higher then shoulder height, as that's where you can hurt yourself.

You guys that do them are you using wide or narrow grip? When I was doing them I'd use wide grip to hit the delts moreso than the traps.

yeah i use a wider grip usually about shoulder width to hit the delts as well, if i find i am hitting the traps or something else i will change grip till i feel it in my delts.

I use narrow grip

i differ from wide and narrow during the reps, slow and intensity is high, but only 2 sets.
its such a strong exercise hitting the front delts that anymore would = a unbalance, more time is dedicated towards side and most importantly REAR delts.

I use kettlebells and was doing them on Dynamic Effort upper day
