A standing barbell pull for the shoulders and upper back with a medium overhand grip. It is a distinct setup from the wide and extra-wide variations; the front camera view is presentation metadata, not the reason for a separate exercise.
Hold the bar with the demonstrated medium overhand grip, narrower than both verified wide-grip versions.
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 source-specific medium grip rather than narrowing it further just to follow a generic upright-row cue.
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.
Confusing the front-view source with an interchangeable view of the wide-grip exercise.
