Abstract

TRAINING PROGRAMS ARE OFTEN INCLUSIVE OF EXERCISES DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE STRENGTH AND HYPERTROPHY OF THE MIDDLE DELTOIDS AND UPPER TRAPEZIUS. THE “UPRIGHT ROW” IS ONE OF THE MORE COMMON EXERCISES PERFORMED; HOWEVER, ITS EXECUTION IS NOT WITHOUT RISK, PARTICULARLY IN THE POPULATION WITH DOCUMENTED SHOULDER DISORDERS, SUCH AS SUBACROMIAL IMPINGEMENT. IMPLICATIONS SPECIFIC TO THE UPRIGHT ROW EXERCISE ARE DISCUSSED IN THIS COLUMN AS WELL AS MODIFICATIONS APPLICABLE TO BOTH THE SYMPTOMATIC AND THE ASYMPTOMATIC POPULATIONS.
