The excersize where you hold an E-Z Bar and your waist, palms facing in and raise the bar along your torsau toward your shoulders?

Dragan

Upright row.

Close grip for traps, wide grip for delts.

I don't really rate them.

Really? Ive never done them, I thought they would be good for the deltoids. Back to the drawing board

Dragan

Presses are better for adding mass to the delts, shrugs are better for traps. PLus, if your hitting your deads right your traps will be fine, add in some cleans and it's all good.

The only thing i ever found with upright rows is that they are awkward and thats about it!!!!

'Correct' form specifies raising the elbows above the shoulders, which causes impingement - it's a well known rotor cuff killer. Even done moving the elbows out to level with the shoulders, there are better exercises like Dragan said.
