How to Perform Dumbbell Upright Row

Stand upright holding a dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended in front of your thighs and your palms facing your body. Keep your chest up and core engaged. Pull the dumbbells upward along the front of your body by driving your elbows up and out to the sides. Continue lifting until the dumbbells reach around chest height or until your elbows are level with your shoulders. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position with control.
