Pronation Pulls — 45°

Pronation pulls at a 45° table-style angle train the same rotational strength as standard pronation curls, but at the specific hand angle a match is actually fought at, rather than a flat gym-bench angle.

Muscles Worked

Pronator teres, pronator quadratus

Equipment

Cable machine

How to Do It

  1. 1Set the cable or band at a 45° angle
  2. 2Rotate into pronation while holding the angle
  3. 3Return with control

Sets & Reps

3-4 sets · 10-15 reps

Coaching Tips

  • 45° mimics a common mid-match hand position
  • Use full range of motion for maximum development

Common Mistakes

  • Setting up at a flat or steep angle out of habit instead of the 45° position this variation exists to train
  • Treating all pronation-angle variations as interchangeable rather than training the specific angles that show up in your own matches
