Supination Pulls — 45°

Supination pulls at a 45° table-style angle train the same outward-rotation strength as standard supination work, but at the hand angle a match is actually fought at rather than a flat bench angle.

Muscles Worked

Supinator, biceps

Equipment

Cable machine

How to Do It

  1. 1Set the cable at a 45° angle
  2. 2Rotate into supination 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

  • Defaulting to a flat pulling angle instead of the 45° position that gives this variation its purpose
  • Loading it as heavy as a flat-angle supination pull, when the altered angle usually calls for less weight to control properly
