How to Use Your Machine
Hand Grips and Straps
The hand grips fit snugly around your wrist, ankle, or instep. Attach grips to cables by snapping the cable clip
onto the D-ring.
Standard Grip: Grasp the handle and cuff together to form a grip without
inserting your hand through the cuff portion. Most exercises
utilize this grip. The Standard Grip also is used for Hammer
Grip exercises, when you need to hold the hand grip vertically
for greater wrist support.
Hand Cuff Grip: Slip your hand through the cuff so that the foam pad rests on
the back of your hand. Then grasp the remainder of the grip
that is sitting in your palm. This method of gripping is great for
exercises like front shoulder raises or any exercise where your
palm is facing down.
Ankle Cuff Grip: The cuff opening can be made larger to accommodate the
ankle. Simply insert your hand in the cuff and slide it away from
the handle. Insert your foot or ankle and tighten the grip by
sliding the handle back toward the cuff.
Arch Cuff Grip: The cuff opening can also fit securely over the arch of your foot.
For this grip, insert your foot through the cuff until it is around
the arch of your instep, and tighten the cuff around your heel
to secure the grip.
Attach the snap hooks to the D-rings on both ends of the
harness. Place the harness on your shoulders letting the handles
hang over your chest. Grab both handles. With high resistance,
a cross arm opposite-handle grip may be used.
