Lat Saw

Lat Saw

It looks like a medieval torture device, but the Lat Saw attachment from Spud Inc. is actually a precision, micro-adjustable new tool for working the lat muscles. The solid metal construction of the main unit includes incremental 1” rungs for attaching either a set of Cable Handles or Spud Inc. Dynamite Sticks. This allows athletes to quickly and easily switch between wide and narrow grips without having to replace any equipment. Different hand angles also enable more options for easing or increasing focus on the grip, forearms, biceps, etc.

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.
