Upright Row Machine

Video coming soon...

The upright row machine is a versatile workout tool that primarily targets the shoulders.

It involves gripping the handles and pulling them up towards the chin, engaging the deltoids and upper traps.

By keeping the elbows higher than the wrists, the machine isolates the shoulder muscles, minimizing strain on other muscles.

This workout is effective for building shoulder strength and stability, but should be performed with proper form and caution.

Adjust the seat height and foot placement to ensure proper alignment.
Grasp the handles with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
Sit with your back straight and feet flat on the floor.
Engage your core and keep your shoulders relaxed.
Exhale as you pull the handles up towards your chin, keeping them close to your body.
Pause briefly at the top, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
Inhale as you slowly lower the handles back down to the starting position.

Position yourself correctly: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and grasp the handles of the upright row machine with an overhand grip. Keep your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and core engaged throughout the exercise.
Initiate the movement from your shoulders: As you pull the handles towards your chin, focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together. Imagine that you are pulling your elbows up and out to the sides, keeping them higher than your wrists. This will help target your shoulder muscles and prevent excessive strain on your wrists.
Maintain proper form: Avoid using momentum or swinging your body to lift the weight. Instead, perform the exercise in a controlled manner, focusing on the contraction of your shoulder muscles. Keep your elbows pointed outwards and your wrists in line with your forearms to minimize stress on your joints.
Control the descent: As you lower the handles back down, resist the weight and maintain control throughout the movement. This eccentric phase of the exercise is just as important as the concentric phase, as it helps build strength and stability in your shoulders.
Gradually increase the resistance: Start with a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form and complete the desired number of repetitions. As you become more comfortable and stronger, gradually increase the resistance to continue challenging your shoulder muscles and promoting progress.</
