Which grip position indicates a supinated grip?

  1. Palms facing up

  2. Palms facing down

  3. Palms facing inward

  4. Palms facing outward

The correct answer is: Palms facing up

A supinated grip is characterized by the palms facing upward. This grip is often utilized in various exercises, such as curls or when performing certain movements that target the biceps. In a supinated grip, the underhand position allows for better engagement of certain muscle groups and can also enhance grip strength during lifts. This grip contrasts with other positions, such as a pronated grip, where the palms face downward, or a neutral grip where the palms face inward. Understanding this distinction is essential for applying correct techniques in weight training and maximizing the effectiveness of exercises.
