7 reasons why to use Angles90 grips even in top gyms
Written by: Team Angles90
If you are working out in a sophisticated commercial gyms, you mostly have a freely movable grip available for the majority pull movements. However, if you thank that Angles90 is a home gym or outdoor gym tool only, you are wrong. Here is why!
1) Intuitive micro 3D movements
Just because a machine offers a rotating handle, it still does not allow for that 3D range of motion, but rather only rotates on one axis / on one plane. The difference in terms of reaching and feeling your back will therefore change a lot.
2) More range of motion
Narrow-grip pulldown or low rows: typical D-handles are most of the time shorter than Angles90 grips, that’s why you won’t reach full ROM with those. Not only does your ROM get greater, but also joint-friendlier since your shoulders can now maintain their natural alignment.
3) Innovative handle design
The grip itself, and therefore your pull power, is enhanced compared to other handles. Combined with the unique bar-loop-around and shortening function of the straps, these are the reasons we patented our product.
4) Attachable everywhere
No matter how sophisticated a gym is—some exercises like t-bar rows and especially one-arm landmine rows simply lack a proper grip due to their setup nature.
5) Change your whole arm path
At some machines, you cannot only change your hand position but your complete body position, arm path and thus target muscle.
6) More hygiene (your OWN grips!)
Grab your own handle instead of public ones - as simple as that! This might be a minor point, but - needless to say - it was never as important as nowadays...!
7) Extend (too short) ropes
We can't emphasise this hack enough. We would even go that far, in saying that this benefit of Angles90 might be the most helpful out of all other mentioned functions in this article.
Face pulls:
1) Better grip instead of grabbing the rope directly.
2) More ROM for better and more controlled contraction in your target muscles.
Triceps pushdowns- or overhead presses:
Joint friendlier for shoulders and more effective for your triceps as you are now able to contract the long head of your triceps better, as the extend rope length is more
