Performance Benefits
Customizable Ergonomics: The choice between straight and angled handles (16° or 20°) allows users to select the optimal wrist alignment to reduce joint strain and maximize lat or tricep engagement.
Adjustable Widths: Straight handles can be mounted at three different positions, accommodating various shoulder widths and targeting different areas of the back during rowing movements.
Versatile Grip Styles: The attachment can be flipped 180 degrees to switch between pronated (overhand) and supinated (underhand) grips, increasing the range of exercises performed with a single tool.
Heavy-Duty & Lightweight: The aluminum and stainless steel construction provides the strength required for heavy cable stacks while keeping the attachment itself lightweight for easy handling.
Elite Grip Feel: The use of Ohio knurling on the handles provides a familiar, competition-grade feel that ensures the hands won't slip even during high-repetition sets.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Wipe the knurled handles and powdercoated side plates with a damp cloth and mild soap. To maintain the "tackiness" of the knurling, a soft nylon brush can be used to remove built-up chalk and skin cells.
Hardware Check: Periodically ensure the zinc-plated bolts are tight. Use the provided nylon washers during assembly and adjustment to prevent metal-on-metal friction and protect the powdercoat finish.
Moisture Protection: While the stainless steel and zinc hardware are corrosion-resistant, it is best to store the attachment in a dry environment to maintain the aesthetics of the black powdercoat.
Marker Removal: If used in a facility with dry-erase tracking, ensure no marker residue stays on the textured side plates for extended periods.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does it come with a carabiner? A: No. The CG-3NF ships disassembled and does not include a carabiner. You will need a standard carabiner to attach the clevis plate to your cable machine.
Q: Can I use different handles? A: Yes. The CG-3NF is compatible with Rogue H-5 Handles, which are available in various diameters and finishes, allowing for even further customization.
Q: Will it work on any cable machine? A: Yes. The stainless steel clevis plate features a universal mounting hole that is compatible with virtually all standard cable pulleys and carabiners.
Q: How do I change the handle angle? A: Handle angles are determined by the specific version purchased (Straight, 16°, or 20°). The angled handles can be flipped to change from an "inward" to an "outward" angle relative to the center plate.
