WHY ANGLES90?
Please take a second to let your arms hang down and look at your wrists. How are they rotated? No kind of horizontal bar or machine handles lets you train at this angle - also called the neutral grip position. The potential result according to science: shoulder, wrist and elbow injuries. But not only.
Your muscle growth is going to suffer too, since you are not training at angles that hit your back and shoulders most efficiently. In addition, by always choosing the same training positions, you will only activate those same muscle fibres again and again.
Static/ fixed bars in general are further contributing to these problems. From an anatomical point of view, the optimal pull movement should involve rotating the handle from the overhand grip (palms facing you) to the underhand grip (palms turned away).

“I definitely get a greater contraction of my lats. The Angles90 allow more movement through the wrist which leads to a greater ROM. Last but not least they are easy to use. Can go on anything!”

“The use of this grips is practically changing the way how your shoulders get loaded. The glenohumeral joint/ AC joint is not being exposed anymore to maximum stress levels which in turn implies in less cartilage damages.”

WITHOUT ANGLES90
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.”
WITH ANGLES90
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.”
