Sets & Reps

3-4 sets · 8-12 reps

Coaching Tips

  • The wider angle trains rising closer to a finishing position
  • Movement is toward the thumb (radial) side

Common Mistakes

  • Only ever training riser pulls at one angle instead of covering both the setup and finishing angles a real top roll moves through
  • Using the same load as a flatter-angle riser pull without accounting for the harder leverage at this wider angle
