Pronation Pulls — 110°+

At a wide 110°+ angle, pronation pulls train the rotational strength needed closer to a defensive or finishing hand position — a different, later-match angle than the 45° variation trains.

Muscles Worked

Pronator teres, pronator quadratus

Equipment

Cable machine

How to Do It

  1. 1Set the cable or band at a wide 110°+ angle
  2. 2Rotate into pronation while holding the angle
  3. 3Return with control

Sets & Reps

3-4 sets · 10-15 reps

Coaching Tips

  • The wider angle challenges pronation strength closer to a finishing position
  • Focus on controlled rotation, not speed

Common Mistakes

  • Confusing this with the 45° variation and expecting identical carryover — the two train genuinely different match positions
  • Using the same weight as flatter-angle pronation work without adjusting for the harder leverage at this wider angle
