Grip-Less Straps Long

Normally, when performing back exercises, your biceps, forearms, and grip get targeted (which isn’t a bad thing), but if you’d like to occasionally bypass some of that, you can do so by taking advantage of what the grip-less straps can do. Just lock your hand or elbow into the patented cuffs, and you can pull without needing to use your hands or grip. If you like extra leverage, you can grab hold of the strap or the back grip loops.

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.
