How to do it

The one arm upright row exercise targets your shoulders, mainly the traps and deltoids.

Steps :

1.) Start by standing up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart with your abs tight.

2.) Grip a dumbbell in your one hand with an overhand grip and your palm facing your body.

3.) Raise the dumbbell up to just in front of your shoulder. Lead with your elbow and focus on using your deltoids and traps to drive the exercise.

4.) Hold the top position, then lower the dumbbell into the starting position.

5.) Do a set, then switch arms and repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.

Tips :

1.) For added stability, do this exercise next to a wall or machine and hold on with your free arm.
