I’m bringing back into my current split the wide grip upright row. Anyone else still use this shoulder wrecking beauty. Sets of 13-15 I’ve found in the past do an awesome job of hitting delt and trap in one

Smith is a killer stand away so bars 5 or 6 inches away from body, fvcking brutal.Proper old school, wide grip for side delts narrow grip for traps I’ve found the best way to do them is on a smith machine

Thats why you'll notice guys using a wider grip and going lighterThat's why I ditched them too.
70% of the movement is all biceps brachialis/forearms/tricep brachii and it doesn't really target the traps /delts unless you get to the top of the movement and reach full contraction.
Causes a lot of RC damage too if you try and go heavy with sloppy form.
As pooley answered below or use neutral grip cable variation. Problems seem to start once you past chest height I thinkThat's why I ditched them too.

If you use a wide grip which are more delts you can´t really go past chest height, close grip sure. makes no sense to go too high which involves traps. unless you want some traps but safer exercises like shrugs. shrugs front or back with a barbell/Dbs will fry traps.That's absolutely correct buddy....but that's also the point where you're really fully engaging the traps/delts (above chest height) so I'll just stick with my trusty dumbells and a full ROM
Upright rows are such an awkward and unnatural movement.
