Hope this hasn't been asked before (a quick search didn't turn up anything).
I keep seeing references to upright rows being a dangerous exercise. However, I did a lot of them when doing Beachbody's Body Beast program and they didn't seem to cause problems. I do have a bit of a problem with pain in my left elbow, but I attribute that to pull-ups because it's gotten a lot better since I stopped doing pull-ups.
Some of the fitness and weight training sites I've checked out seem to suggest that upright rows are mainly a problem if you do them with a straight bar. In Body Beast, you do them with an EZ bar (I think that's the standard name, but I attached a picture below just in case). Any opinions on this? Are they reasonably safe if I do them with this kind of bar?
