Select desired weight. Grip the handles with your palms facing your body. Keep handles close together and close to your body.

An upright row on our low pulley station is an effective exercise to build strength in the shoulders and upper back. It's a pull exercise, meaning you'll be pulling the weight upward and toward you to target your posterior chain, or the muscles on the backside of your body, mainly your shoulders. The low pulley station caters to all fitness levels with a weight stack of 10-100lbs.
