Bodytone BT57017 Rotating V Handle — Cable Attachment

The Bodytone BT57017 rotating V handle is a 40 x 20 cm cable attachment for close-grip, neutral-position pulling. Its two swivelling arms follow the wrist through the full range of motion. Price: 56 EUR excluding VAT.

One attachment, one working angle

Cable attachments multiply what a single pulley column can do: each handle changes the grip position and the pulling angle, and therefore the muscle emphasis. The V handle is the close-grip specialist. Used on seated rows and lat pulldowns, the narrow neutral grip pulls the elbows tight to the torso and shifts the load onto the mid-back — rhomboids, mid-traps and lower lats.

Rotation that follows the wrist

Unlike a fixed V bar, the BT57017’s branches pivot. As the pull progresses, the handles rotate with the natural movement of the wrist and forearm instead of forcing a fixed hand position. Members with sensitive wrists or elbows keep a comfortable line of pull from stretch to full contraction, and the load stays on the back muscles rather than escaping into compensations. The knurled grips hold firm even mid-session with sweaty hands.

Building a full attachment park

The BT57017 clips onto any standard pulley carabiner, so it works across cable crossovers, dual adjustable pulleys and selectorised row stations from any brand. Sold individually; for a commercial facility, a complete attachment set — lat bar, triceps rope, single-hand grips, row handles — is quoted as a package with wall storage racks and volume discounts.

Specifications

Who benefits most from the rotation

The swivelling branches earn their premium with three member groups. Older adults and desk-bound beginners often lack the forearm rotation a fixed grip demands; the pivots remove that constraint on day one. Members returning from wrist or elbow complaints keep training pull volume while the handle absorbs the rotation their joints cannot yet provide. And high-volume trainees — those rowing several times a week — use the rotating handle to vary the stimulus without changing exercise. For everyone else the fixed V remains perfectly adequate, which is why the two handles coexist in most attachment parks rather than replacing each other.

Frequently asked questions

Which exercises is this handle for?

Primarily close-grip seated rows and neutral-grip pulldowns targeting the mid-back. The rotation makes it equally useful for cable curls and pressdowns where wrist comfort matters.

What is the advantage over a fixed V bar?

The pivoting branches let the hands rotate naturally under load. Users keep tension through the full amplitude without wrist strain, which matters in a commercial gym serving members of all mobility levels.
