T-bar handle

[Kidrok (Hop) Super Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close Kidrok (Hop)]

I love old-school t-bar rows. However I don't like holding the bar as I lose range of motion (unless I load it with all 25's) and I'm tired of always hunting for the pulldown v-handle, so I made my own handle. I picked up 2' of chain, cut 2 5" pieces of 3/4 pvc pipe and a couple chain link connectors. It works great but I find it slips (as the v-handle did sometimes) so I actually slide it between the inside collar and the plates.

KR,

I like using the handle I use here in this video:

(Sorry 'bout the music - that's a friend of mine bouncing around in the background, so I used that song b/c I figured she'd get a laugh out of it.)

That's cool, we don't have any like that at the gym. besides, mine slips nicely into my bag.

Yeh but that shit hurts...lol. Just be sure your chain is rated strong enough for the weight you'll use.

I could use shoe strings with the weight I pull with.

Oh sweet. My gym doesn't have a t bar handle! Been using my hands and I don't like the ROM either.
I'm going to make this.
Sir your a wizard.

From my bike.... Gotta problem with that?... LOL

It's just a short pressdown / curl bar that's got a bend in the middle where it hooks to a cable.
