Setup and Installation

- Carefully hook the open-end of the handle onto the designated attachment point on your Total Gym cable system. Ensure the hook is fully engaged and secure.

Operating Instructions
The Total Gym Chrome Handles are designed for use with your Total Gym system to perform a wide range of exercises.
Key Benefits:
- Enhanced Grip: The chrome finish and foam grips provide a firm and comfortable hold, reducing slippage during intense workouts.
- Increased Flexibility: The open-end design allows for natural wrist and hand movement, which can be beneficial for exercises requiring rotation or varied grip positions.
- Durability: Constructed from chrome-plated metal, these handles are built for long-lasting performance.
Usage Tips:
- Always maintain proper form during exercises. If you are unsure about correct form, consult your Total Gym user manual or a certified fitness professional.
- Start with lighter resistance settings on your Total Gym to familiarize yourself with the feel of the chrome handles before increasing intensity.
- The open-end design is particularly useful for exercises like bicep curls, tricep extensions, and various rowing movements where wrist articulation is desired.
- Regularly inspect the handles for any signs of wear or damage before each use.
Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe down the chrome handles with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and then wipe dry immediately to prevent water spots or corrosion.
- Storage: Store the handles in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prolong their lifespan.
- Inspection: Periodically check the integrity of the chrome plating and the foam grips. Ensure the attachment hooks are not bent or damaged.
