Standing Upright Rowing
A good exercise for working the lateral deltoids. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Pick up the barbell shoulder width apart and hold it so it rests on your thighs, this is the starting position. Row with the bar so that it comes up to the level of your upper chest, hold at the top for a second, then lower slowly. This exercise can sometimes cause slight pains in the shoulder joint, if you experience these, stop doing the exercise and adjust the width of your grip until it is more comfortable. If you can’t do a set without getting pains in your shoulder joints, it probably means you have gone too heavy too soon so drop the weight down.
