Answer:

I did it already.

Step-by-step explanation:

Supinated would be your palm is up; so flexing your elbow up in order to lift the weight is the natural way that you flex your elbow.

Pronated is when your palm is face down; so even without the weight in your hand you wouldn't be able to flex your elbow (at least not upwards, lifting the weight).
