The High Pull is a different way of challenging the mid-delts while also stimulating the external rotator cuff muscles.
Unlike its ugly sister the upright row, the high pull involves external rotation at the shoulder joint, creating more space vs less space within the joint capsule.
This will keep your shoulders healthy and reduce your chances of shoulder impingement from repeated internal rotation with abduction, as seen in the upright row.
Adopted from Jeff Cavalier, the High Pull allows you to hammer your mid-delts safely and gives you another exercise variation if you need a change-up from lateral raises.
