    am serious lifter must do leg press best lift you do?

    I don't have access to machines, just a bench, weights, bars and power rack. Only way i can train my legs is squats, deadlifts etc.

    You can substitute the upright row with the high pull, particularly DB version, and get the same results without compromising the shoulder so I would go with those. Flies are ok if you keep your elbows bent and don't go past 180 degrees to your shoulder joint; you don't need to do the deep stretch, but it's safer just to do a DB press bringing the arms in if you have any doubts.

    I'm with you on the high pull (wider grip), seems to eliminate (for me at least) the risk of putting my shoulders in a dangerous position. As has been mentioned, depends on OP's goals. For me, being relatively new to the iron game, strength and form are paramount. Using a slightly modified SL5x5 protocol to gain strength and lose weight.

    I don't do BB rows very often...I do cleans and I do snatches and for accessory work I do either DB rows or cable rows...for more rear delt work I do face pulls. I don't do DB fly very often as it irritates my shoulders...when I do I keep them light.
