desertcart.com : Core Prodigy Heavy Duty Exercise Handles Extra Large Size - Grip Attachments for Cable Machine Pulleys, Gym Equipment, Resistance Bands, and Weight Lifting (Fat/Thick) : Sports & Outdoors

Review: AWESOME HANDLES! - These exercise handles are simply awesome. I bought both sizes (the 1” diameter and the “fat” 2.125” diameter). You can immediately tell when you take them out of the box that they are made very well. The feel of them in your hands is extremely comfortable especially when using heavy resistance both with cable machines and resistance bands which by the way is the true test of comfort with any grip surface. Any grip surface may feel comfortable with little to no resistance but it is quite a different story with heavy resistance. some surfaces can either be slippery or even painful with a heavy load rendering the piece of exercise equipment worthless. You should never have negative feelings about a particular exercise due to the discomfort of pain you are about to experience. If you do, you simply will not want to do it, and will never develop a healthy routine of exercise. The particular surface of these exercise handles is also slip resistant to sweaty hands not just heavy loads. The unique materials these handles are made of have no funny smells right out of the box. I am not alergic but it is quite annoying when you can’t seem to get the smell off your hands from some materials. Speaking of funny smells, these handles are super easy to clean by just rinsing with water or wiping with a damp rag or towell , which I prefer to wipe. I have been exercising for years. These exercise handles can be used in any way “D” rings are used with cable machines either one or two at a time. For example, from an upper pully, you can do a tricep press down. From a lower pully, you can do a bicep curl. If you have a cable system on both sides of your body, you can do cable cross overs; There are many cable exercises of this nature but you might have seen some guys more or less doing a popular cable cross over exercise that somewhat looks like the Incredible Hulk pose if you are wondering. As I said, anything you can do with a single “D” ring handle or pair, you can do with these handles. Too, these handles are light weight. If I had to guess, both pairs of these handles in their entirety way as much as a classic single “D” ring handle. Aside from being light weight, these handles take up much less space in a gym bag since the nylon straps are flexible unlike a “D” ring. Here is where these handles are better than the ordinary “D” ring handle in function. you can attach resistance bands between a pair of handles by bale hitching the bands to the metal o-rings. Depending on the company brand of resistance bands you are using, you can run several through the metal o-rings. If your bands are bulky, you can run them through the nylon strap part of the handle instead. By running bands through the strap part of the handle instead of the metal ring, you also can shorten the length of the bands by a couple of inches in this manner amongst others. All you need to know how to do is a simple bale hitch. BTW undoing a bale hitch with these handles is a breeze. I once bought a pair of resistance band handles which came with straps made with an extremely strong but thin material which made it very, very difficult to undo a simple bale hitch after “heavy” resistance was applied. This made those handles very undesireable due to the frustration level their design caused. Although they were strong, this undesireable feature made them a waste of money. Here not, speaking of money, those poorly designed handles for a single pair cost more than both of these pairs combined. Your money will be well spent for both of these handles. The price is awesome. Here is a use of having both sized handles. Rather than adding weight to a cable machine, or adding additional resistance bands, simply increasing the diameter will substantially increase the difficulty level. Too, the fat handle benefits are numerous: easy on the joints, better grip and forearm development, and “radiation theory (more motor unit recruitment = bigger muscles). Fat bar training was a little secret going as far back as the 1920’s by such strongmen as Alvin Calvert but now such secret is showing up even in specialized cable attachments including fat “D” rings, which btw will cost you in the ball park of $50 to $65 at a minimum before shipping for a single fat “D” ring handle … these handles are quite the bargain. By bargain, I clearly do not mean “cheap.” Many times you get what you pay for. Here not. These handles are well made and stylish as well for those of you not quite into the monster muscles thing. Resistance training is good just for general health such as maintaining bone density, and maintaining some muscle mass which is directly related to a better metabolism. Did you know that it is estimated that a mere 10 lbs. of muscle burns around 3,500 calories (1 pound of fat) just sitting around to maintain itself? Just sitting aroun burning calories is called your base metabolism rate aka “BMR.” Although with nutrition facts, it is clear that you cannot exercise a bad diet, there are many benefits from exercise. Look in the mirror. Although there are some who are “fat and jolly,” for most this is not the case. Do the Skipper from Giligan’s Island, and Fred from the Flinstones come across as grumpy? You do not have to get bodybuilder cut, just look slim. It will change your attitude. How about exercise for a positive out look on life generally. By occupying your time with something constructive as exercise, you are not just sitting around thinking about everything supposedly or not, terrible with your life and the world.So on and so on. If resistance band training interests you, here is an awesome book by John Hatfield: Cable Training for Strength. I am sure there are many others out there but I can attest for this book. You can search the web as well. Resistance bands, go by cable training, or strand pulling exercises as well. Here are four exercises unique to resistance bands for strength: chest pull, back press, bow pull, and overhead pull; you should be able to find them on the internet. Resistance bands are not just for physical therapy. They can be used to develop extreme strength. With that in mind, always inspect your bands for damage so they don’t break in the middle of an exercise. Signs of damage can be obvious micro tears, just being old looking, or even little bubbles. Too, it is a common practice when training for strength with bands to use a sheath where by the bands are inside the sheath so that if a band breaks it does not pop you on the face, or worse an eye. You can find a commercially made sheath; however, here is a not so stylish but effective means of making your own sheath. Take an old pair of pants or sweats and cut off one of its legs. That is all. You will grab one handle and pull it through the leg with the band and grab the other handle. The end result will be a cable handle in each hand with the resistance bands going through the leg. If a band breaks, it snaps the inside of the sheath not your face. Some band exercises you will always want to use a sheat such as the chest pull for safety but not so with other exercise such as the back press. With that in mind, I will describe both exercises and safety in the event of a band breaking is apparent. With both exercises, you finish in the crucifix position. Chest pull: With a band or bands connecting two handles, hold a handle in each hand palms facing one another held straight out in front of your body shoulder heighth, then pull your arms straight back into the crucifix position. This resembles the motion of a dumbbell reverse fly. In this position, the band or bands will be across your chest. If a band breaks during this exercise, it may snap you on the face or eye; thus, always use a sheath for this exercise. Back press, with a band or bands connecting two handles, hold a handle in each hand behind your body. From this position, press your hands into the crucifix position. You will use a pressing motion which is much like throwing a punch without the exsplosive nature of a punch not alifting motion as a bird flaps its wings or what is known as a dumbbell latteral raise. The completed position will be the crucifix. The back press is an example where a band is likely not to cause injury if it breaks. As with all exercise, always obtain medical clearance, and if you do not know a particular exercise technique, consult someone who does particularly someone who is certified to teach the public or at least someone you trust. What I have written herein specifically to exercises themselves is not advice but merely what I do for myself.
Review: Full handed grip is nice - I have large hands and these larger diameter handles feel better in the hand. The product is well made and feels like it should hold up long term.

*by L***R on September 27, 2025*

I have large hands and these larger diameter handles feel better in the hand. The product is well made and feels like it should hold up long term.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These Are the Best Handles I've ever found for My Exercises
*by G***Y on November 4, 2025*

I'm not sure why it says these are a frequently returned item? These are the BEST handles I've ever used for cables or resistance bands, EVER!!! I've had them for over a year and I prefer to use them for everything I do in the gym. Maybe some people have small hands, I'm not sure. That shouldn't matter once you understand why you're using them. Yes, it's more difficult to use, maybe that's where they're finding the discomfort from enough to return them. The whole point is to make it more challenging to increase your grip strength, and these deliver in spades. If you give yourself enough time to acclimate to them you'll never want to use anything else. They actually become addictive. When I use standard handles anymore something doesn't feel right and it's harder to connect with that exercise. Your hands are the gatekeeper and these handles really do help to strengthen your grip while you're doing any exercise involving your hands.
