BASE MOVEMENT · HOW TO DO IT
Forearm Pronation / Supination
Start lighter and use less range than you think you need. The rep should stay smooth from beginning to end.
- 01Set up
Support the forearm with the elbow bent 90 degrees and hold a hammer or lever weight vertically.
- 02Move
Keep the elbow still as you slowly turn the palm down, then rotate it back up.
- 03Finish
Stop before the wrist bends or elbow moves, controlling the lever in both directions.

Forearm Pronation / Supination
Sets: 2–3 · Reps: 8–15 each direction per side
Build strength turning the palm down and up without moving the elbow.
Control range: Control work builds strength through rotation, balance, or a position you hold steady.
WHY IT EARNS A SPOT
Own the position,
then earn the load.
A light lever makes forearm rotation easy to measure and hard to fake. Pronation and supination train a missing wrist-and-elbow function that curls alone do not cover.
