The Dumbbell One Arm Upright Row is a strength training exercise that primarily targets the shoulders and upper back muscles. It is a unilateral exercise, meaning it focuses on one arm at a time, which can help to improve muscle balance and coordination.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell One Arm Upright Row, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in one hand with an overhand grip.
2. Allow your arm to hang down in front of you with the dumbbell resting at arm's length.
3. Engage your core and ensure your back is straight.
4. Keeping your elbow close to your body, exhale as you lift the dumbbell straight up towards your chin, leading with your elbow.
5. Pause at the top of the movement, ensuring your elbow is higher than your shoulder.
6. Inhale as you slowly lower the dumbbell back down to the starting position.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other arm.
It is important to maintain controlled movements throughout the exercise and avoid swinging the weight. Start with a lighter weight to ensure proper form and technique before increasing the weight. As with any exercise, consult with a fitness professional before incorporating the Dumbbell One Arm Upright Row into your workout routine.
