Rows comparison?

Upright rows are shoulder suicide.

Meh don't be a pussy

You can go wider if you have any shoulder pain or pull them only up to the top of your chest. Or leave them out all together... I would never keep doing an exercise that caused me pain. I'd just find another.

Shouldn't be an issue for a young rugby player, just a old farts.

Yeah I loved em till I fucked my shoulder.
 
Whenever I do upright rows (although it's been years since I've consistently done them), I only pull the bar up to nipple level, getting my elbows parallel to my shoulders. That's always been sufficient to get my medial delts working without my shoulders complaining, and I find it easier on my shoulders than lateral raises.
 
just change them around every few weeks.

barbell rows
machine rows
seated rows

i have no choice really but to. i find that i lose the feel of the exercise after about 3 weeks and then when i change them up stella gets the groove back :)
 
If one did fb 3 x weekly then those three exercises can be included altogether.

I've been squatting for twenty years straight the only thing I change are the sets and rep's.
 
Underhand barbell rows from the floor. Call it pendlay whatever. Heavy sets of five. Say hello to a big back. Thick.

Dumbell rows bring more lats into the movement as generally you stretch out the range of motion.

Dont care for t-bar rows. Its generally an exercise for douchebags to throw a bunch of plates on an do some sort of 3 inch range of motion while standing almost upright achieving noting but a larger ego.

Yep might just start doing heavy rows. Sounds more fun than anything else. Also i've been meaning to learn powercleans I wish it was that easy but I need to go back to PTC to learn them
