Best Cable Attachments?

[PianoPlayer]

My local gym has plenty of the equipment I need, but the cable attachments for the rack/pulley machines are limited.

Now I’m seeing guys bring their own cable attachments, use them, then unhook them and leave. That’s what I want to do too – but which cable attachments to buy? Plenty of options on Amazon, ranging in price from $20/pair to $75+.

What do you guys recommend? Looking for attachments I can use for a variety of exercises, especially those that use both arms at the same time (cable iron crosses, etc.)

Ultimate Cable Machine Handles

[Screen Shot 2022-11-15 at 11.05.43 AM] I take my own cable handles to commercial gyms. I’m not a germaphobe (though this may be a bonus benefit). Nope, I just got tired of looking around for attachments, getting stuck with mismatched equipment, and using thin, slippery metal handles. So I just bought my own. These are made by Allbingo. They’re grippy, a bit fatter than standard handles, and all the hardware and webbing is overbuilt to last a lifetime. Worth picking up. Grab a pair here: http…

And these are super popular with our coaches:

Angles90 Grips

You’ve seen these things show up in several T Nation articles. Their ergonomic handle design allows for a more natural range of motion on dozens of pulling exercises. Add in less joint stress and a new way to stimulate muscles and we have a winner. Nicely portable too compared to gymnastic rings. Grab a pair here.
