The upright row is performed while standing, holding a weight hanging down in the hands, by lifting it straight up to the collarbone. This is a compound exercise that also involves the trapezius, upper back, forearms, triceps, and the biceps. The narrower the grip the more the trapezius muscles are exercised.
An upright posture for long periods (e.g. standing in line, standing in a shower, or even sitting at a desk) A warm environment (e.g. hot summer weather, a hot crowded room, a hot shower or bath, after exercise) Emotionally stressful events (seeing blood or gory scenes, being scared or anxious)

Flies can be performed using any weight that can be held in the hand. The simplest equipment to use is a dumbbell, though the exercise can also be performed using a cable machine. Flies can be performed supine, sitting or standing upright. When using a cable machine, the hands and arms move through the same anatomical plane as the dumbbell version.
