Upright Rows

I know upright rows get a lot of blame for being bad for your shoulder. I’ve seen people claim that it causes impingement, but I feel after learning about the pain experience from you guys it really isn’t bad. Any thoughts on the exercise?

We think it’s fine if load and fatigue are managed appropriately.
