The MAG Medium Grip Neutral (MN004) is a paddle-style cable-machine handle that holds the wrists in a neutral, palms-facing position from the start of the pull. Its curved shape contours to the hand across a roughly 22” width, spreading the grip load across the palm instead of the fingers so lats and rows can run through a fuller stretch-to- contraction range with less forearm fatigue than a straight bar or D-handle. It attaches to any cable machine via carabiner and is one of three width options (close/medium/wide) MAG sells in neutral, pronate, and supinate grip angles.

Sku MN004
Finish Rubber/polymer coated handle
Attachment Carabiner (fits standard cable-machine attachment points)
Grip angle Neutral (palms facing)
Grip width ~22" (middle finger to middle finger)

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.

MAG’s Medium Grip Neutral pairs a curved, paddle-style handle with a neutral (palms-facing) grip angle, and independent coverage is consistently glowing — one long-term reviewer calls the full MAG lineup “my most used attachments by a wide margin after more than 5 years.” Functionality is the standout dimension: the contoured shape lets lats and rows run through a fuller stretch-to-contraction range than a straight bar while all but eliminating hand slip and forearm fatigue. Value is the weakest dimension — MAG runs no sales, sells for roughly $65–70 per attachment with no bundle discount, and reviewers note the site’s variant lineup (close/medium/wide × pronate/supinate/neutral) is confusing to shop.

  • +Functionality: curved, contoured handle removes hand slip and forearm fatigue, letting lifters focus effort entirely on back contraction through a fuller range of motion than a straight bar (graymatterlifting.com guide; MAG Grip Review, Baby Giant Barbell)
  • +Build quality: described as "SOLID...heavy, dense," with a rubber coating that stays intact after thousands of reps (graymatterlifting.com guide)
  • +Durability: one long-term owner reports no visible wear after roughly three years of regular use (maxagrip.com product page)
  • +Functionality: neutral grip angle forces better back activation and lets users move more weight than with a conventional D-handle or straight bar, per side-by-side comparison testing (MAG Grips vs Prime RO-T8s vs Knock Off MAGs, Joe Gray)
  • +Versatility: works across lat pulldowns, seated rows, T-bar rows, low cable pullovers, and single-arm variations (graymatterlifting.com guide)
  • Value: no sales or discounts on MAG's site, and at ~$65–70 per attachment, building out even the three Medium grip variants runs roughly $200+ (graymatterlifting.com guide; maxagrip.com product page)
  • Value: small, family-run operation can mean longer shipping times than a big-box retailer (graymatterlifting.com guide)
  • Functionality: the site's variant naming (close/medium/wide, pronate/supinate/neutral) is confusing, with little on-site guidance on which grip to buy first (graymatterlifting.com guide)
  • Durability: authentic MAG grips are frequently counterfeited on Amazon/Walmart, and buyers who land on a knockoff by mistake report peeling rubber coating and structural wear the genuine product doesn't show (MAG Grips vs Prime RO-T8s vs Knock Off MAGs, Joe Gray)
