Do this either standing or sitting, and you can bring the barbell down in front of or behind you. Grip the barbell with a slightly wider than shoulder width grip and then slowly lower it down to the front or behind the neck. Do three sets of eight to twelve repetitions. This effectively helps build up your shoulders.[/su_box]

Just like the overhead press, instead this time stick to bringing the barbell down to the back of your neck and squat down slowly even as you bring the weights down. This technique effectively builds up your legs.[/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.
