difference b/w upright row and high pull?

[Roark]

trying to incorporate high/face pulls into my shoulder day.

it seems like the top of the motion is the same as an upright row. is width b/w hands the difference?

also, any opinions on doing face/high pulls with a cable as opposed to a bb?

You know what an upright row is.

A high pull is an olympic lift assistance exercise. The bar starts on the ground and you explosively pull it into an upright row, basically. It's the first part of a clean, except you don't drop under the bar to fully clean it.

A face pull is a horizontal row from a high pulley attachment where you're pulling it in a straight line towards your nose or eyes.

thanks

your opinion on these as a target for traps/rear delts?

[MixmasterNash]

Face pull is more rear delt specific. High pull is more trap/medial delt specific. Assuming you don't cheat on either.

Edit: High pulls/hang high pulls are a superior replacement for upright rows, which are not good for yout rotators.
