Handgrips and Straps
The handgrips 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.
Abdominal Crunch
Place the harness on your shoulders letting the handles hang over
Shoulder Harness:
your chest. Grab both handles. With high resistance, a cross arm
opposite-handle grip may be used.
