This technique is for building your trap muscles and mass. Take a shoulder width overhand grip on the barbell and simply bring it up to your chin level. Do this in three sets of about nine to fifteen repetitions.[/su_box]

This method mainly helps strengthen your back. Take hold of the barbell with a slightly wider than shoulder width grip and bring the weight up into your midsection with your arms back. With an underhand grip and your legs slightly bent with your upper body leaning forward, pull your arms back and draw the weight to your waist.[/su_box]

  1. The upright row is very hard on your rotator cuff – it can exacerbate impingement. I would recommend the overhead press (or OHP) instead.
