So i have been progressing my upright row a lot over the last 6 months and managed to pull 100kg on a straight bar. A lot of people have been telling me there's no point to getting your strength up that much on such an obscure lift but i think there's always going to be a good amount of carryover to other exercises. Last week i did a 90kg behind the neck shoulder press for a double which could be attributed somewhat to my high lateral deltoid strength. It's possible at least, just wanted to know your opinions.
There's a video of my upright row on my instagram (lukedunkleypt), usually i'm a lot more strict but this was my 100kg lift. I'll be posting a lot more obscure lifts once i train them to a point where i can lift heavy enough that i think people will be interested.
