That Ab Strap can also be used to mimic the old Nautilus Pullover Machines, which were so awesome for lats. Just stick your arms in up to the elbows and grap the top part with your hands.

TrakHandle - best cable attachment I've ever used bar none & probably one of the most unknown/underrated
@kyles83912 ай бұрын
Yep my Trak Handles (Sport version) will replace whatever handles REP is sending with my Ares 2.0.

These are tied for me with the Prime Rot8. Just depends on the movement. Best of both worlds.
@northeastcorals2 ай бұрын
@@Tiger1016. I'd never say TrakHandle Sports are the best handle for every known exercise because an attachment thats designed for a specific exercise will likely be better for that exercise. Personally I'd say they are suitable for more exercises than any other cable attachment due to them allowing your hand/wrists 3 planes of free movement, again that may not actually be ideal for every exercise but it does at least allow you to carry them out. Thats why if I could only have 1 cable attachment, it would be a pair of TrakHandle Sports. The Prime Rot8's look pretty interesting as well, I think they will be going on my shopping list.

The Petzl Spirit carabiner is designed for easy clipping. It's primarily used for sport climbing. I use mine for exactly that - for sport dog bones. If you want to stick with Petzl, they make an OK biner, which is oval-shaped to reduce shift. In my gym, I use the Black Diamond Oval Keylock, simply because it's black. I use Petzl though for the majority of my climbing rack.

I really like Kleva Built's Tricep Pushdown Attachment. It's similar to the tricep bar you showed at the end but doesn't have a rotating piece and is at a steeper angle. I think it's a little too expensive for what it is but it's my favorite tricep piece. Also I really don't understand the hype for Angles90. I bought some a year ago and I really don't like them. The webbing is sharp and can be irritating for anything that causes the webbing to hit my hands. You can use it for pushing movements but getting the webbing into the slot takes a minute and it's really easy for it to fall out again once it's not under load. I've bought a lot of products recommended by this channel but that's really the only one that I regret.

7:34 - Larry Scott won both the first & second Mr. Olympia contests (1965 & 1966) and had, in my opinion, the best arms of anyone in history. He knew countless little tricks to get the most out of every exercise (a lot of which he learned from Vince Gironda, a lot he came up with himself). FYI - that's Reg Lewis in the second pic, not Scott.

The Spud inc. Long Ab Strap made my training sessions SO much better and funner! I can never go back to single rope. It's really good for incline tricep pushdowns and cable rows (acts like a spreader bar) and you can hold the strap really low in the wrist for best force transfer. It's so much better than the last attachment you showed, which I did consider buying, as it's way more versatile and affordable!

A deal breaker for me on home gym equipment is if it only allows for one main exercise. I think it some ways you have to be creative. But I do agree that cable type equipment usually provides the best range for different exercises. I wonder if the cable attachment designs is being innovated on due almost exclusively by the home gym market.

100% agree! They look weird with the thin cables etc but they are more than strong enough plus their old promo vids are terrible but I saw through that, I knew those skinny looking cables were more than a monster could snap & their range of motion made them suitable for more exercises than probably any other cable attachment available. When buying mine I got stung for taxes into the UK so I probably ended up paying around £180 GB pounds including postage etc, which is ridiculous for cable handles & you know what? I'm seriously thinking about buying a second set just in case they ever stop selling them just so I have spares as I would never want to be without them now!

Having just acquired a lat pulldown/low row machine, I am disappointed how the majority of good quality steel and knurled attachments have added pivot points. I am pulling in a rather direct path, and being on a cable will solve any deviation. Unnecessary cost to add in a slight struggle on occasion to clip an attachment on or setup the straps for the value of mildly fatiguing wrist flexors and extensors. The REP steel handle is nice, though the sleeve does rotate a bit, but at least this is for simplicity of design not needless complexity. New straight bar, lat bar, neutral grip, and mag grip coming.

Thanks for the video, Coop! I enjoy all of your reviews, but I’m done buying big equipment like racks so I skip those videos more these days. I still have the room and budget to buy smaller things like attachments, though, so it’s good to hear your thoughts about them. A request to manufacturers: offer more choices for handle diameter. I have big hands, and 30 mm just feels too small. I prefer 35 or 40 mm. I’m sure there are people who would prefer smaller diameters, too. One size does not fit all!
