POIGNÉES ANGLES90
HOW-TO
SHORT VERSION
6 MIN INSTRUCTION
ONE HANDLE - FOUR GRIP OPTIONS
ERGO
The most ergonomic method is where the handle fits the form of your hand. With this method, the stronger part of your hand (the middle) does the most work while relieving pressure on the weaker parts. Ideal for 12 – 20+ reps.
POWER
Now you are basically gripping one half of a gymnastic ring! With this method, the weaker parts of your hand get supported so you can lift heavier.
GRIP
Instead of your middle finger, put your ring finger through the strap to increase the difficulty of grabbing the handle. In this way, your forearms work harder.
HURTING FINGERS?
...in ALMOST ALL CASES caused - and solved! - by the following points:
1. You keep the strap twisted instead of lining it up straight! **Especially crucial if you shorten the strap, for instance when performing lat pulldowns.
2. You didn't place your thumb on the handle's tail or upper part. Without doing this, the handle could slightly turn to one side / not stay parallel to the bar, thus causing the strap to create pressure on your fingers. **Especially important during the last repetitions of an exercise and if you generally struggle with grip strength.

What is the maximum capacity of the Angles90 Grips?
Les poignées sont certifiées pour 180 kg (400 lb) par poignée (donc 360 kg, 800 lb lorsqu'elles sont utilisées ensemble). De plus, vous pouvez jeter un œil à notre test de résistance non officiel que nous avons effectué avec une fourgonnette, qui pesait plus de 1,8 tonnes (4 poignées) - Test de résistance Angles90

Do you decrease your grip strength by using the Angles90 Grips?
Building grip strength is extremely important. With the help of Angles90 you can definitely increase your grip strength because you have to control the freely-moveable grip - and you can change between grip options. The FOREARM grip option also puts the main focus on your grip strength by putting the ring finger between the straps. Long story short: no you do not decrease your grip strength by using our grip. Short answer: no! Whereas the grip feeling itself is more comfortable now, especially compared to standard cable machine handles and to most pull-up bars, this does not lead to weakened grip strength. Rather, grip strength will remain unaltered. The only two things that will and should change with Angles90 grips involved are a) less joint stress (shoulders, elbows, wrists) and b) maximized contraction of your target muscle, your back. However, if your main aim is to focus on increasing grip strength, one out of our four grip methods can help you with it: The so-called forearm grip method consists in putting your ring instead of your middle finger through the strap. In this way, your forearms will be engaged more.

Quelle est la différence entre les poignées Angles90 et les anneaux de gymnastique?
There are several differences:
1. You can grab rings in one way only. Our grips, on the other hand, offer different grip options (see details here: Ergo vs Power). One grip option, called Ergo grip, is pretty much aligned to your hands and thus is more ergonomic.
2. Rings are much bigger, thus less convenient to carry around
3.Most importantly, though, the Angles90 grips can be attached to all kinds of pulling machines, cable machines, bars and bands, thus allowing for a more natural ROM and a wider variety of exercises. 💪🏽
-
Why are the Angles90 Grips more joint-friendly?
Une poignée librement mobile permet une amplitude de mouvement plus naturelle qui implique directement moins de stress articulaire. Nos corps n'ont pas été faits pour saisir des poignées alignées horizontalement année après année dans la salle de fitness. D'un point de vue biomécanique, nos bras tournent (légèrement) lorsqu'ils tirent quelque chose. Avec l'utilisation d'Angles90, vous saisissez une poignée qui s'adapte à vous et non l'inverse. Ainsi, vos groupes musculaires impliqués absorberont les charges plus efficacement, minimisant ainsi le risque de blessure au poignet, au coude et à l'épaule.
-
Can I use the Angles90 Grips for pull exercises only?
The grips were designed for pull exercises, because that is where the freedom in choosing different grip positions is missing the most (barbell deadlifts, pull-ups, rowing machines etc.). However, the handles are also attachable to cable machines for a better grip, like while doing Chest Flys. With the help of our A90 Sling Trainer and A90 Resistance Band, you can do a lot of 'push' exercises too, just use the POWER+ method explained above on this page.
-
Quelle est la différence par rapport à la préhension d'une barre conventionnelle?
Angles90 allows you to train in a natural range of motion, which means that countless exercises can be performed more effectively and with less strain on the joints.
Our body is not made to move weights with fixed, rigid angles - at least according to numerous studies and the best coaches on this planet.From a biomechanical perspective, our arms should move freely during a movement in order to alleviate pressure from wrists, elbows and shoulders. This problem becomes especially clear during 'pull' movements like lat pull-downs, pull-ups, deadlifts and barbell/machine rows due to limited grip options - unlike chest or shoulder exercises. For example with a dumbbell press, you intuitively chose a range of motion that feels most comfortable on your joints and that uses your target muscle most effectively.
EXERCISES

FAQ
-
Quelle est la différence avec une Sangle de Suspension conventionnelle?
- Si petite qu'elle tient dans votre poche
- Do pull-ups (even without a bar)
- Broaden the sling width and do dips
- You'd miss the ergonomic handle on the conventional sling trainer option
-
Quelle est la résistance des bandes?
The package includes two bands: Blue Band = 9kg/20lb Black Band = 18kg/40lb. You can obviously use them together too.
-
Quelle est la résistance maximale de la Sangle de Suspension A90?
The maximum resistance is 550lb (250kg) per strap, carabiner, and metal buckle! This has been tested and certified by TÜV. The Angles90 grips, instead, are certified for 400lb (180kg) per handle.
-
How can I train from a high anchor with the resistance bands?
Just set up your A90 Sling Trainer to a high bar or tree and connect it with your Resistance Band. This is also beneficial for the durability of your bands because you do not have to attach them to a rough surface.
-
Est-il possible de faire des tractions assistées avec vos Bandes de Résistance A90?
Of course! Simply tie the bands carabiner to the lowest point of your Angles90 grip straps. Please have a look at the following video: Assisted pull ups
-
Puis-je attacher la Sangle de Suspension A90 à une porte ?
Of course! Assuming that the door is stable enough, you can even perform pull-ups there. Please have a look at the following video which explains how to set it up:

10 PRO-TIPS
POULIE DE CÂBLE A90
HOW-TO
15 tips about the basics, two pulley-setup and alternative usages
Attach:
- Pulley: Loop the included strap or an A90 Sling Trainer around a bar or similar. Now insert the carabiner and attach the pulley to it.
- Grips: Put one or two grips inside the second carabiner. Then goes into that end of the rope, which does not have the black rubber ball attached.
- Weights: Either use the third included carabiner to attach weight plates through the included pin or to attach any other kind of weights directly to the rope.
Train:
- Important: Start lifting the weight slowly at your first repetition, especially if you attached other weights than weight plates. This will prevent the weight from swinging.
- Grip options: Our Angles90 handles allow you to choose the optimal grip, depending on how many repetitions you are doing. For light weights, the Ergo method works best. For middle to heavy weights, opt for the Power method. For push movements or for very heavy weights, choose the Power Plus method. For triceps push-downs, use the vertical grip.
- These are just suggestions. After all, every hand is individual so please experiment with all grip options before of sticking with one too soon.
FAQ
-
Quel est le diamètre de la goupille de chargement?
2cm (0.78 inches), which means that every kind of weight plate can go through.
-
Quelle est la capacité de charge maximale?
Pulley and rope: 660lb (300kg); strap and carabiner: 330lb (150kg)! Bear in mind that the perceived weight absorption through the pulley is way higher compared to the weights of a machine.
-
Puis-je raccourcir le câble de la poulie à câble?
Nous ne vous recommandons pas de couper le câble de quelque type que ce soit, mais il existe quelques astuces pour le raccourcir:
1. Do not use the loading pin, instead, loop the cable around the weight plates to attach them (you will get a how-to video for all these tips)
2. This may seem obvious, but try to attach the pulley at a higher anchor point (our A90 Sling Trainer can help here)
3. This is not a solution for every exercise, but simply try to move further away from the pulley when doing an exercise.
-
Puis-je attacher la poulie à câble A90 à un point d'ancrage inférieur?
Yes, you can! Depending on the exercise, you may be able to do it with one Cable Pulley, or you might need two. Here is a quick overview:
- Biceps curls or side/front raises: you can do them with one A90 Cable Pulley, even though two make for a better experience
- Seated low rows: here you need two A90 Cable Pulleys to pull it off. Our how-to video that goes out with every purchase will explain this in detail.
