Total Gym 17500 Open Ended Durable Chrome Handles for Increased Grip with Total Gym Home Workout Machines, Black

Comfortable and ergonomic

Very handy,good grip

Purchased these for my total gym.Comfortable grip that swivels on the handle for less stress on the wrist and more realistic lifting experience.. Easy to use. These are the handles that should come with every total gym!! Glad I could find them on Amazon.You could probably find them cheaper but I didn’t want to wait 3-7 days to get them and after taxes and shipping charges these may have been a couple dollars more. I pretty much received these the next day and couldn’t be more happy with them!

I use these with the Total Gym XLS. The biggest feature you get with these handles is the offset of the cable from your hand. This allows you to perform certain exercises more comfortably.They have a sturdy and solid construction. The handle is also slightly oversized. This can be very helpful for things like bicep curls as it forces you to squeeze a little harder getting a better pump. I do wish the handles are either normal sized or more oversized. At least for my hands there's still little on the small side and I'm not getting as much value from them being slightly larger.As a caveat, if you're using these handles on a system like a total gym, I highly recommend getting some carabiners and some swivels as the cable can become twisted over time using these handles. This can slowly damage the cable's connector.Given their price and quality I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

I really like these, got them for my Total Gym to replace the plastic ones that snapped in half (good luck snapping these). I saw in other reviews that it was said the open-end design leaves you with something to get used to, I didn't find that to be true, it felt fine from the start.
