Overview

The barbell wide-grip upright row is an exercise that targets the shoulders. To perform this exercise, you will need a barbell and weights. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the barbell with a wide grip. Your hands should be outside of your shoulders. With your chest up and your core engaged, pull the barbell up to your chin, keeping your elbows close to your body. Pause at the top, then slowly lower the weight back down. Repeat for 8-12 reps.
