It carries a risk and if you want to do it then do it. Your acromion process is put into a position where it can cause impingement due to the movement. This can over time cause issues with your supraspinatus and its accompanying bursa.
They're an unnecessary exercise in my opinion. Lots of other, less risky movements to choose from.

I must be one of those then, since barbell upright rows are nothing short of phenomenal for me, hitting my side deltoids/front deltoids as well as my trapezius muscles all in one hit.The reason some can get away with this, like I said is due to structure of shoulder.

Some may find the cable upright rows much smoother, placing much more emphasis on the targeted muscles (including the rear delts) and less on other non targeted muscles such as the forearms for example.
I find high reps (in the range of 20-30) work really well, or when the exercise is used as part of a giant set and/or one single extended set.
PS: The above was not a promotion of the exercise, but rather a support of Andy's statement re different athletes with different body structure and mechanics. My two cents worth...
Fadi.

Ok thought I would post this here, the BTN press gets a similar bad reputation for wrecking shoulders. For those that know this stuff, is this justified? Can it be used safely?
