Dumbbell Upright Row

One-Arm & Two-Arm

Exercise Instructions

*This exercise can also be performed with one arm at a time. Your form remains the same when performing the single-arm variation. Do all repetitions on one arm, then switch.

  • Grab a pair of dumbbells and stand with them in front of your thighs.
  • Pull the dumbbells up along your body until you get to your chest.
  • Elbows are up and to the side as you pull. The dumbbells should stay very close to your body as you’re pulling.
  • Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position in front of you.
  • Focus on using your shoulders to move the weight.
