American Gridiron Attachment

Name: American Gridiron Attachment
Brand: EliteFTS
Rating: 4.67 (3 reviews)

EliteFTS’s American Gridiron Attachment takes the brand’s popular American Gridiron Bar and removes the sleeves, turning it into a cable-machine attachment built around the same shoulder- and wrist-friendly grip geometry. It offers 4 different grip widths, each usable in a semi-pronated or semi-supinated wrist position, aimed at rowing and lat-pulldown movements that build the back while sparing the joints that heavy pressing already stresses.

Independent coverage is thin – no dedicated YouTube reviews or Reddit threads turned up – but GymRadar’s three owner reviews average 4.67/5 (Performance 4.33, Build Quality 5.00, Value 4.67). Owners describe it as a comfortable, well-made lat-pulldown/row attachment at a fair price, with the one mixed note being that it’s bulkier than some newer multi-grip options and that its several grip widths can be replicated by other attachments without sacrificing range of motion.

What is a Cable Attachment?

What cable attachments are

Cable attachments are the handles and bars that clip to a cable machine, functional trainer, or lat/row station to change the exercise — lat bars, triceps ropes, single-D handles, row/close-grip handles, ankle straps, and more. A small set of them turns one cable stack into dozens of movements.

What to look for

A rotating swivel or ball-bearing joint keeps the cable from twisting and lets the handle track your arm; comfortable, durable grips (knurled metal, rubber, or coated nylon) survive heavy use; and a standard carabiner or snap fits most machines. Match the attachment to the exercises you actually train rather than buying a giant kit you won’t use.

The American Gridiron Attachment delivers on its core idea – four grip widths in semi-pronated or semi-supinated positions, adapted from EliteFTS’s shoulder-friendly Gridiron Bar into a cable attachment for rows and lat pulldowns. The three owners who’ve reviewed it on GymRadar rate it highly across the board (4.67/5 overall, 5.00/5 on build quality), calling it well-made and fairly priced, with one specifically using it as their go-to lat-pulldown handle. The softest note is versatility: one reviewer found it bulkier than necessary, since several of its grip options can be matched by other attachments without giving up range of motion. Independent editorial and video coverage is essentially nonexistent, so this verdict leans almost entirely on a small owner sample.

+Build quality: owners rate build quality 5.00/5 on GymRadar, describing it as well made (GymRadar)
+Functionality: used as a primary lat-pulldown and row attachment by at least one owner, who calls it comfortable (GymRadar)
+Value: rated 4.67/5 for value, with one reviewer specifically noting the price is decent (GymRadar)
+Functionality: four grip widths in semi-pronated/semi-supinated positions cover multiple back-training angles derived from the well-regarded Gridiron Bar design (EliteFTS manufacturer page)

−Versatility: one owner found it too bulky, noting several of its grip widths can be replicated by other, less bulky attachments without hurting range of motion (GymRadar)
−Functionality: no independent editorial or video reviews were found to corroborate manufacturer and owner claims -- this verdict rests on a 3-review GymRadar sample (GymRadar; knowledge_base gather)
−Durability: no long-term ownership reports beyond a handful of GymRadar reviews, so durability over years of use is unverified
