I think you got a great WWE wrestling voice. Like a Shawn Michaels. Anybody hear it?
*read In Jim's voice:* "GET READY TO RRRRUUMMBLE!!!"
He looks like a smaller Dave Batista mixed with Randy Orton
Now I can’t unhear it… lol
It's the roids
This is great! I think a majority of people in the gym, myself included, do these wrong. Thanks for the great advice, @Jim Stoppani!
Tips from a Master. Amazing. Wide grip preservs the shoulder joint on up right rows and works the medial head. Compound move
Thanks Jim, I've been doing it literally how u are not supposed to do a smith machine upright row. thanks for setting me straight.
awesome tips. I used to have shoulder caving in problems when doing this exercise due to a close grip and high pull. over the recent years I have widened my grip slightly and results have been massive. I'm now going to go wider still and not lift as high as per this video. thanks Jim!
A very good tip!
As someone who has had a rotator injury that required surgery, you do NOT want to screw up your shoulder / glenohumeral joint with a rotator cuff tear, bursitis, or other type of shoulder impingement!
You won't be able to do damn near anything in the gym besides cardio work, some lower body and core, and your physical therapy for a LONG time!
I'd like to add, sadly from personal experience, that the close grip can also injure your wrists by making them hyperextend, crushing the ulna into your wrist bones. This is easy to do especially if you pull fast and build up some momentum and/or have a previous wrist injury. Keep your hands wide. If you want to do close grip, use dumbbells to keep a neutral wrist.
Chris Napoli the close grip is used to hit the traps not the Delts.
Great tip Dr. Stoppani!
I was doing it wrong all the time, thank You Doc for pointing that out for us! #jymarmy
Saw this guy doing the close grip up to his neck at the gym everytime he's there. He acts like he's a badass. I can see his shoulders rubbing and twisting in pain. Lol. Keep it going bud.
many thanks for the tips JYM.
this is fantastic thanks jim
Thanks Jim great tip!
Glad I came across this!
excellent ...Thank You
Glad I just saw this video while doing traps. Thank you. 👍
This video 10/10 just put it plain and simple no jock bs 👍
thanx Jim for the vídeo
This is great!
Thank you
I've already dumped the upright row, looks like I can try doing it right for a change and see how it feels.
Does this work just as well without an angled smith machine? Or will having to pull it straight up cause shoulder rotation?
good stuff doc. i hope u r still fit!
Thanks bro... your shit always on point!!!
very good vid this. He is right just go up to below chest.
Excellent for growth of the medial delt. When I do these i try not to fully extend my arms at the bottom so the shoulders won't rest.
Pretty much the same mechanics as the side delt raise
greatly put my friend! Makes a lot of sense! Thanks!
I've always thought the upright row was a great movement and I never wanted to completely stop doing it.
I don't do these in any form because of a bad rotator cuff but did experiment using a dumbbell and cable. Best would be a cable with the attachment that goes around the ankle but placed near the elbow to take out the internal rotation of the shoulder.
Very helpful
What if i focus on traps doing it very close grip focusing on the pushing the bar down slowly with force
I totally been doing it wrong. thanks jim
This I did not know. I used narrow and shoulder width grip all the way up. Standing corrected.
What about targeting traps? Don't you have to use a narrow grip for traps?
is there a safe way to do this with press?
Nice!!
I love upright rows. The only time I get discomfort doing them is with a cable machine. Doing them with a freeweight barbell they feel great.
Now I know why I got injured. My right shoulder has never been the same...
First time ever doing weight lifts after a while did the close grip an I'm in pain now It bothers me when I open my arms fully out I have to keep my elbows at a 90 degrees hurts when I try to fully extend why why
Thanks
can i do this like that with heavy weight (4-5 reps)?
Firstly is it true that you have PHd? Yes it was becoming largely spoken opinion that Upright right rows done free or smith based were not good for shoulders you clareifird that myth Thanks. Where can I get your Books? Thanks.
After doing up rows idk why but I had bad arm elbow pain took me a good 4 days to recover from I wasn't able to fully open my elbows why ??
Thx
I'm wondering about a couple of things: First, if this exercise were strictly for delts, would going very heavy really be ideal, given that delts are largely made of slow-twitch fibers that respond best to higher reps? But second, this move may be for more than delt development: A wide-grip pull like that should hit traps and other mid-back muscles, where there may be more benefit to a heavy weight. So maybe it should be done at light AND heavy resistance levels, to maximum benefits in both areas.
Steven Zak As Jim would say "variety is the key" You wanna do both, go heavy for low reps and light for higher reps.
I heard that the wider you go theres more emphasis on the medial delt, and the closer your grip then there's more emphasis on the traps. is that true?
Garrett Kriegseis hmmm interesting wonder what Jim says
There's always that *one* person who dislikes Dr. Stoppani's videos. Smh
Aaron Wierbinski its vegan gains always hating lol
***** haha tell'm💪🎯👌
Negative people will always find a problem with a solution
Thank you :)
Brenneka White no thank you Brenneka
Sounds just like Special Agent Rossi from Criminal Minds.
Wow I was doing this wrong the whole time
👍💪
Upright row close grip > traps and shoulders
Upright row wide grip > shoulders only
I appreciate the video but I will say that there are other established fitness trainers who disagree. Greg Plitt demonstrates doing them from multiple grip widths including inside shoulder width. He clearly didn’t have shoulder issues. But again, everyone will have their own interpretation of what is correct form
no that is incorrect form Athlean X talks about it all the time, plus if you look at the mechanics of your shoulder it is so unhealthy to use a close grip!
Who? Good for him/her. We have a difference of opinion and that's okay. Cheers!
Batista??
Nonsense. This is guy is talking about the Delts, but if you want to target the traps you have to use a close grip, and yes, you have to come all the way up.
why the fuck you would do upright row to work traps
MultiCaloka well I'm not the right person to answer you that, ask the guy in the video! I say, if You want to hit the traps, use a maximum close grip, and bring the bar to your chin!
Peter Franck yeah but with your comment your insinuating that they are for your traps because otherwise why would you bring up the traps in this
Who the hell would do this anyway
Tattoos dont make u buff
it seems like a waste of time if your goung to work out and build huge muscles only to cover them up with tattoos. also i wonder if they realize what their arms are going to look like when they become real old men.
Dav Dolph Just stop. Everyone has their own body to do as they wish with. There are people who probably think your sense of style is cringe worthy, maybe they think you have a ridiculous haircut. The point is, who gives a shit what others think? If you are happy with yourself, that is what matters. If you don't like tats don't get them.
Tattoos look great on top of muscles. You don't look at someone's skin, you look at the bulges that are made from the presence of the muscles. So, unless you change the shape of the muscle, you won't damage the appearance of the muscle. If anything I'd say a well muscled arm is the best kind of arm to put a tattoo on.
In addition, appearance isn't the only reason to build muscle. Personally, I do it for health benifets, performance benifets, better confidence, and an overall happier life. The improved appearance is certainly something I like, but it's not the priority for me personally, and I know a lot of people feel the same.
My only complaint about Jim's tattoos are that there are so many that I can't really tell what they are. I'm sure it would be easier in person from up close.
Thanks bro... your shit always on point!!!
