When I did upright rows my traps got huge!

I feel uprights in both my traps and side delts no matter what grip I use , but I definitely feel them MORE with a closer grip (traps that is).I use a wider grip as my goals in uprights is delts not traps (although I don't mind in the slightest that my traps are getting hit also..)
Wider gripped to nipples has never caused me any pain , close grip to chin/collar bone area feels weird to me in the wrist more than anywhere else and "feels" like an injury could happen(in my wrists oddly enuff and not so much in the shoulders)really boils down to personal build i geuss.

How do Hang Cleans compare with upright rows with regard to potential injury/impingement?
Sorry to burst in here, but if impingement is the problem, it could be a good idea to rectify it first. But of course if bony abnormality is the restriction, there is not a lot you can do about that.
Impingement is commonly caused by stronger (larger) internal rotators. Try external rotation exercises (which upright rows have a portion of, reason for me to include now my impingement has gone) with your arm by your side, and also with shoulder at 90 degrees.
Hope it helps
