Smith Machine Upright Row is an effective exercise to build strength in the shoulders and upper back.

Step 1
Place the bar on the Smith machine just above knee level and hold the bar with a double grip. Make sure your palms are facing you, and your arms are about 15 centimeters apart.
Step 2
Raise the bar to chest height, pause, then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.

Smith Machine Upright Row targets Biceps, Delts, Traps as seen below.

Avoid using momentum to lift the bar. Instead, focus on getting energy from your upper body.
