Great article for safety when doing the upright row. The risk of pulling too high for that last little bit does not outweigh the risk of possible impingement syndrome which is a time consuming chronic injury that will take much to long to heal and cause you issue in your other workouts.
Agreed on eliminating behind-the-neck shoulder presses and behind-the neck pull downs if you have pre-existing shoulder problems. Unless training for a specific reason this way (i.e. bodybuilding) there is not marked benefit that these exercises can bring to you. They place your shoulders under extreme pressure and tension.As always, feel free to contact me with any other questions or other alternatives.
