Explosive Pronation Lifts
Where most pronation exercises train controlled rotational strength, explosive pronation lifts train fast-twitch rotational power with speed — the difference between being able to rotate an opponent's hand and being able to do it quickly enough that they can't react.
Muscles Worked
Pronator teres, pronator quadratus
Equipment
Cable machine
How to Do It
- 1Set light-to-moderate resistance on a cable
- 2Rotate into pronation as explosively as possible
- 3Return under control and reset before the next rep
Sets & Reps
3-4 sets · 5-8 explosive reps
Coaching Tips
- •Prioritize speed over load — this is a power drill
- •Rest fully between sets to keep every rep explosive
Common Mistakes
- ✕Using a weight too heavy to move explosively, turning it back into a slow-controlled exercise instead
- ✕Skipping the slower pronation variations first — explosive work should build on a base of controlled strength, not replace it
