Larratt Pronation Pulls

Named for the pronation drill top pros are known for, this cable exercise emphasizes slow, deliberately controlled rotation through the full range rather than speed — building rotational strength and control together, not just raw power.

Muscles Worked

Pronator teres, pronator quadratus

Equipment

Cable machine

How to Do It

  1. 1Attach a handle to a low cable or band anchor
  2. 2Rotate your forearm from supinated to pronated position slowly
  3. 3Return to start with control, resisting the band the whole way

Sets & Reps

3-4 sets · 10-15 reps

Coaching Tips

  • Slow down the rotation — speed reduces time under tension
  • Let the fingers lead the rotation, not just the wrist

Common Mistakes

  • Rushing the tempo to move more weight, which defeats the slow-controlled-rotation purpose this variation is built around
  • Stopping the rotation early instead of working the complete range each rep
