A standing shoulder and upper-back exercise using the widest overhand grip among these three verified demonstrations. The qualifier identifies this source-specific setup, not a required maximum grip width for every trainee.
Take the demonstrated extra-wide overhand grip, wider than the wide- and medium-grip demonstrations, without forcing a universal maximum hand spacing.
Stand tall with the trunk controlled and the bar in front of the thighs.
Raise the bar close to the body while the elbows travel outward, using a controlled range suited to the shoulders rather than forcing the bar to the chin.
Lower the bar smoothly and repeat without changing the demonstrated grip or using a hip drive.
Select a load that permits an even ascent and descent.
Let the shoulder blades move with the arms; do not force an exaggerated shrug or hold them rigidly down.
Use a comfortable wrist position and a pain-free working range.
Keep the extra-wide setup consistent throughout the repetition; wider does not automatically mean harder or safer.
Jerking the load upward with the legs or lower back.
Forcing a higher finish after controlled shoulder motion is lost.
Letting the bar drift far away from the body or dropping it on the return.
Treating extra-wide as an instruction to spread the hands as far apart as possible.
