5 Smacking Ways To Have Boulder Shoulders

#3 Upright Barbell Row

The upright barbell row is a compound exercise that not only targets the three heads of the deltoids but also activates the traps. Additionally, the upright barbell row activates the biceps, triceps and the muscles found in the forearm region.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with your feet placed shoulder-width apart. Secure the barbell with both the hands and hold it in front of the hips such that the palms are facing towards the body. Ensure that the distance between the palms is approximately equal to the width of the shoulders.

Step 2: With a stationary torso, raise the barbell until it is in front of the chest region, just below the shoulders. In this position, the elbows must be positioned higher than the forearms.

Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the starting position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: For a more targeted training experience, perform the exercise while using a cable machine.
