To perform an upright row, start with your feet shoulder width apart and grab a pair of dumbbells in each hand. Keeping your chest up and core tight, pull your elbows to the ceiling, raising the weights just to about mid-chest or chin - whichever feels more comfortable - making sure you're doing this in a nice slow and controlled fashion.
