5 Best Shoulder and Trap Workouts To Strengthen Your Upper Body

Exercise #3: Barbell Upright Row

Instructions:

The barbell upright row is an extraordinary exercice as compared to other activities for building the upper traps and shoulders.

Step 1: Load up a hand weight with the weight you need to utilize and stand to confront it with your feet at around shoulder width separated.

Step 2: Handle the free weight with an overhand hold (palms looking down), and hands somewhat nearer than shoulder-width apart.

Step 3: Lift the bar up, bending the knees and keeping your back straight.

Step 4: Keeping your back straight and eyes confronting advances, lift the bar straight up while keeping it as near your body as could reasonably be expected (you should pull the bar up to around chest tallness - almost contacting your chin).

Step 5: Hold and then gradually bring down the bar back to the beginning position.

Important Tip: Do 3 sets of 10 reps each. Try and keep your elbows higher than your forearms and keep your body fixed throughout.
