How to Do a Deadlift Upright Row?
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with your toes slightly pointed outward.
Grab a barbell (or dumbbells) with an overhand grip, palms facing your body.
Keep your back straight, bend your knees slightly, and push your hips back to lower the barbell close to the starting position on the floor.
Inhale as you start lifting the dumbbell upwards. As you straighten your legs, push your hips forward.
Keep your back straight during the movement, and use power from your hips and legs to lift.
Pull the dumbbell up to the top of your thighs.
At the end of the deadlift, immediately move into the next part of the exercise while holding the dumbbell above your legs.
Pull your elbows out and upwards, lifting the dumbbell up to chin level.
Your elbows should move up, not out to the sides. As the dumbbell reaches your chin, your arms should be bent at about 90 degrees.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement.
Exhale as you lower the dumbbell back down to your thighs in a controlled manner.
Then return to the deadlift position and repeat the movement.
