    Upright Rows and wrist position

    I haven't done Pump in a while and have done weights instead. I've cut out doing upright rows in the weight room because they hurt my wrists. This never really worried me in Pump because the weight was a bit lighter.

    If I go back to doing pump and I want to avoid upright rows in the shoulder track, what do people suggest I do re: change the grip or do another exercise.

    Not that in all occasions i only ever take the bar up to nipple height.

    Any tips would be greatfully received.Big Smile

    Your wrist is supposed to stay neutral...are you breaking at the wrist?  I widen my grip on the bar and only lift to just below the chest (heart rate monitor level).  The latest releases of BP suggest that we widen our grip...its so much more comfortable and feels good when we transition overhead.

    Thanks, I'll try widening my grip and keep my wrist neutral. Yes when I got injured it was with an ez-bar and close grip.
