Two handles, every bilateral movement
One handle is enough for single arm work. As soon as you want to pull or fly on both sides at once, you need two. That is exactly what this pair covers.
Cable flyes, two arm pulls, cable bench press, two arm face pull. All of these need one handle in each hand, on an identical load on each side.
A 31 mm diameter that spares your elbows
A thin grip concentrates pressure on a narrow band of the palm. The 31 mm diameter spreads it. Your forearms and your grip work harder, your elbows take less punishment on isolation sets.
The knurling does the rest. You no longer squeeze to compensate for a handle that slips.
Rotating, so aligned through the full range
Both handles rotate. On a fly or a pull, the hand naturally follows the line of pull instead of fighting it. The wrist stays neutral from the start of the movement to the end.
Exercises and muscles worked
High and low cable flyes (chest), cable bench press (chest, triceps), two arm seated row (back), face pull (rear delts, traps), cable lateral raises (side delts), cable curl and triceps extension.
The cable keeps constant tension where dumbbells lose it at the end of the range. That is what makes these movements complementary to free weight work.
Usage and safety tips
- Check both carabiners and their cable attachments before every set.
- Set both pulleys to the same height for a symmetrical bilateral movement.
- Clean the knurling regularly, chalk and sweat eventually clog it.
