Overhand grip (also pronated grip)
When you grab a horizontal bar in a traditional workout, you force your wrists, shoulders or both to leave their natural, basic position.
These unnatural grip angles (overhand and underhand) stress your joints and ligaments.
Yet despite these drawbacks, conventional fitness programs still focus on pull exercises that require exactly these two unnatural grip positions!
Underhand grip (also supinated grip)
“A horizontal grip angle … and the associated maximal supination or pronation are the main cause for elbow problems.”

Neutral grip (palms facing each other)
Using Angles90, enjoy two natural, more ergonomic grip positions for injury prevention and better muscle strength. For the best results use these grip as follows:
- Pull-ups and lat pulldowns: Rotate from the overhand- to the underhand grip.
- Deadlifts and shrugs: Use a neutral grip or gently rotating grip.
- Barbell or machine rows: Start rotating either from the overhand or the underhand grip.
Rotating grip (from the overhand- to the underhand grip)
“As a canoeist, for years I’ve been doing heavy barbell rows. Somehow though, it has always bothered me to only use the overhand or underhand grip, since our sport actually requires much more dynamic movements. Angles90 allows me to solve exactly this problem.”

Overhand grip (also pronated grip)
Underhand grip (also supinated grip)
In both positions either your wrists, shoulders or both are
forced to leave their basic position to grab a horizontal
bar.
Joints and ligaments, therefore, are being stressed because
of an actually unnatural grip position.
However, the focus at pull exercises, unfortunately, still lies
in exactly these two grip positions.
“A horizontal grip angle … and the associated
maximal supination or pronation are the main
cause for elbow problems.”

URotating grip (from the overhand- to the underhand grip)
These two grip positions are the most natural ones for
pulling. For the best results use them as follows:
- Pull-ups + lat pulldowns: Rotate from the overhand- to the underhand grip
- Deadlifts + shrugs: Neutral grip or gently rotating
- Barbell/machine rows: Start rotating either from the overhand or the underhand grip
