Um... the definition for pronate and supinate are virtually the same? there must be an error there?

Yes, Katie. That's what jon gets for being a guy who just copies and pastes.

They're usually used to describe the position of hands or the whole body.

Supine means facing up - your palms upwards, or towards you, or your body lying face up. For example, you are supine when you do a situp, bench press, etc. Your grip on a dumbell curl is usually supinated.

Prone means facing down - your palms downwards, or away from you, or your body lying face down. For example, you are prone when you do a pushup, etc. Your grip on a bench press or overhead press bar is usually pronated.

You can remember it as an upturned hand, like serving soup - supinated. Remember one and you can remember the other.
