i disagree. i've never had a problem with upright rows, and i've never heard of anyone injurying themselves doing them.

as for whether arnold presses are useless or not, i don't know if the extra plane of movement does or does not really do anything. but there are bodybuilders who swear by them. i don't have the book with me that discusses them right now, but when i go home next week, i'll see what it has to say.
