According to science, a rotational arm movement around the neutral grip position (hand palms facing each other) constitutes our body’s most natural pull motion. In this position your shoulder joint is locked in, allowing you to minimize joint stress and maximize muscle growth.
The problem: Fundamental exercises like most types of deadlifts, rows, pull-ups and lat pulldowns aren’t performed in the mentioned grip angles! Numerous studies and several of the world’s leading coaches agree that this circumstance is increasing the risk of shoulder, elbow and wrist injuries. But not only…
Also, muscle development is going to suffer. You are not training at angles that hit your target muscles most effectively, you are training at angles that a straight bar forces you to! Additionally, by always working out in the same grip positions, you will only activate those same muscle fibres over and over again.
On top of that, you can now change grip without changing the bar, using a handle that ergonomically fits your hand.
