Cable Upright Row — shoulders compound exercise in the LIFTAG library

Cable Upright Row

Compound · Weight × reps

Attach a straight or angled bar to the low pulley and stand tall with a comfortable overhand grip. Do not assume the bar must reach your chin; grip width and shoulder anatomy change the comfortable endpoint. Use a moderate load and compare a wider grip or a lower stopping height if the narrow, high position feels crowded, rather than forcing range for the sake of the name.

  2. Lower the bar slowly while keeping your wrists aligned with your forearms.
