Looking for a specific type of equipment but can't find it anywhere
Hi all,
I recently went to a hotel gym and found an amazing piece of equipment that really worked my triceps.
Its literally like a cable rope but just as a solid bar instead (see image) - and when you press your thumb on it and do a single arm cable tricep pulldown I felt a muscle I never knew even existed.
Is there a name to this piece of equipment?
(Sorry if this is the wrong place to post)

So, you're asking about a cable attachment?
You need a good rack, a bench, and a 300-lb Olympic weight set. Now, what was your question?

TBH that scares me a little bit. Say you're doing a heavy set and this slides out of your sweaty hand? The odds are pretty good this thing it headed upward towards your face.

I would use a loading pin, standard or Olympic, so at least there's a stopper on the end to avoid the incident CliveWarren mentioned.
But then I wouldn't waste my time with a cable pulldown to begin with........SQ 475# 5/26/17 wraps

Lol.. Powerlift type lifters are just one injury away from cables and machines. Those numbers do have an upper limit....Originally Posted by chadsalt

Don't follow? Why do you need a machine if you have an injury? They make 1# pink dumbbells if it bad enough that's the rehab starting point.Originally Posted by Greybird2
