Upgrade Your Home Gym with Premium Cable Attachments from Force 6 Fitness!
Introduction
One of the cheapest and easiest ways to add variety and versatility to your home gym is by having a good selection of cable attachments. Today we are reviewing a few unique and very effective attachments from a company called Force 6 Fitness, including their Offset D handle: a fully solid take on a traditional looped cable D handle including a fully steel frame with a knurled grip. The Iso Dead Blow Handle: a 360 degree rotating knurled neutral grip handle, geared towards single arm movements with a supportive and ergonomic base. And last but not least, the flat lat & triceps push down bar, which as the name suggests, has a wide and flat surface across the entirety of the bar to allow for more comfortable wrist position and even force distribution when pressing. So let’s check these out!
Hey guys this is Michael with The Jungle Gym Reviews, today we are reviewing a couple Force 6 Fitness cable attachments that I have been using in my training for the last few months. Since this company is newer to the gym equipment space, I don’t think many people are familiar with them or maybe their specific products, so I just wanted to share my experience, highlight some of these unique attachments, their key features, design, functionality, and price for others to consider who are looking for cable attachments to add to their gyms.

Who Is Force 6 Fitness
For those who aren’t familiar, Force 6 Fitness is an up-and-coming US gym equipment manufacturer and supplier, owned and started by a guy named Mario Rago. He has been in the manufacturing industry for over 10 years but just recently shifted his focus to the gym equipment space after combining his prior manufacturing experience with his newfound passion for fitness and lack of selection in what he felt were good options trying outfit his own home-gym. Now Force 6 primarily manufacturers cable and rack attachments, but are slowly expanding their product offerings to cover all home-gym and even some commercial gym needs with additional products like rack storage, accessories, mag pins, weight stack pins, belt squat attachments, wrist wraps, etc.
I actually hadn’t heard of and didn’t know about Force 6 Fitness until about a year ago when I got good old, targeted ad for their flat lat and tricep bar, and quickly placed my order. After enjoying using that bar for a while, a few months ago I added to my seletction of attachment some of their newest products in that Offset D handle pair and the Iso Deadblow handle, so here we are today.
Flat Lat and Tricep Bar
So first I want to go over the flat lat and tricep bar, which is technically called the Latissismus flat push down bar, and it costs $90. This bar is what I consider a modern take on the standard short straight bar attachment people use for tricep pushdowns and curls. However instead of a round bar this attachment has a flat surface which is meant for you to use with your hands open face, which allows the user to evenly distribute the weight evenly your flat palm rather than you trying to navigate finding the correct wrist angle to comfortably push the bar down. Because your palms and pressing surface is stacked right above your wrist, you can comfortably generate more consistent pressing force. For me personally, I bought this bar to help with some elbows issues I was having at the time over time it allowed me to focus less on really gripping bar and instead focus more on working my triceps because it gave me a much better mind muscle connection for that movement. The slight bend in the bar allows you to use an angled grip or the flat grip at the outer ends of the bar depending on your preferences. To this day, I now use this bar exclusively for both the tricep pushdown and lat pullover movements.
Some of the specs for this bar are the length of the bar overall is 28 inches, so more than shoulder width for most people and therefore allows you to choose any grip options from narrow to wide. The length of the angled portion of the bar is 22 inches. The flat width of the bar or the pressing surface is a little shy of 2.5 inches wide which is long for you to get a majority of your hand area contacting the bar, but still remaining short enough for you to wrap your fingers around the end to support your overall grip if needed. It also has a minimally textured black powder coat which allows for a little bit of friction without being abrasive for your hands. One other feature about this bar is where you connect the carabiner, the bar doesn’t rest flat or parallel to the floor, it has a slight pitch or angle which again help create what feels to be a little more biomechanically friendly pressing angle for your wrists and elbows and as you can see there are 3 options to choose from so you can dial in the exact angle to your preferences.
My only feedback for this lat and tricep bar is that sometimes the square edges of the bar can be a little uncomfortable after a few sets depending on how you press or gripping in your finger, because it creates a sharper straight corner at the outer edges. If possible, I would love to see those edges get rounded out while still maintaining the overall flat pressing area of the bar which would be more comfortable to really grip with your hands if you need or prefer. Like we will talk about for the next attachment, my guess is that you aren’t supposed to grip really hard, because the weight of your palms should is more than enough to hold the bar in place, but I would bet some other people do it either out of habit or just out of preference like I sometimes do, so rounded edges would make it feel even better from an overall comfort standpoint.
Offset D Handles
Now the Offset D handles are definitely one of my favorite cable attachments I have owned to date, and largely in part because comfortable and fully solid D handles really don’t co-exist well to my knowledge. These are $120 for a pairs, and the frame of each individual handle itself is solid steel, which is completely different from 99% of the other D handle options on the market, which use some sort of nylon, rope, or similar looped softer material through a solid handle. The reason you typically don’t see solid D handles is because the tradeoff is sacrificing your wrist or arms during certain movements, especially like curls and chest flies, where a normal solid D handle will just dig into your skin, bones, and muscle. I used to have the REP Fitness Pro D-handles, and quickly returned those because of incredibly a big metal brace/bracket thing would always press hard up against the back of my hands across a variety of exercises as mentioned. Enter this Force 6 D handle now, which has an offset, meaning the bracket for the handles doesn’t just go straight up in a line, it is actually offset by a few inches on a different vertical axis than the handle itself, meaning, it gives about 2-3 inches of extra space for your arm to be over the force line and path of the handle during any given movement, without smashing into the back of your wrist and arms.
Now you might be saying to yourself, ok that cool and all but seems unnecessary or why can’t I can just my normal cable D handles? Well I am here to tell you the reason this fixed design exists, is because that since it is a completely solid handle, there is a noticeably better transfer of force between you, your body, and your hands to the handles. I am not a physics major, but the best I can describe it is that you don’t get any force deflection, like how you would like with a rope or non-solid handle because of twisting, moving, or turning of the handle in and around your wrists. Because this is solid, it feels very much more machine like in that the weight is just solidly there in your hands and you can exert, push, or pull even more force with more precision and focus during the exercises you choose, which in turns makes the movement feel significantly better with a noticeably easier and improved mind muscle connection. I distinctly remember the first set of cable crossover chest flies I did with this, was the best pump I had gotten on that exercise in years, because I could focus on the movement, and it felt much more like using a machine because the grip was solid in your hands and you didn’t have to fight your wrists or try to balance or use as much supporting musculature to do the movement.
Besides being made fully out of steel, this offset D handle has a fixed, what they call and would consider a medium knurled 32mm diameter handle that is 5.5 inches wide. It is not super peaky knurling so it won’t rip up your hands but does provide a sticky yet comfortable amount of grip. Since the handle is fixed, it does not rotate, which I personally think is a benefit of this in terms of feeling solid and machine like in your hands. I do want to mention there will be an option in the future to select either a rotating or fixed grip version for this attachment, and I would strongly suggest the fixed grip due to aforementioned reasons. The only caveat to a fixed grip is that during movement where you do need or would desire the handle to rotate in your hands, like for bicep curls for example, where the handle typically rotates about 180 degrees from the bottom to the top of the curl, the fixed option doesn’t move freely in your hands and therefore kind of grabs your skin as it’s rotating and honestly does not feel ideal for that movement. A second movement with it I don’t love using these is a standing cable lateral raise for similar reasons, because during this movement, you want the handle to rotate and this one is just fixed, so it requires you to either loosen your grip and then the knurled portion is just grinding and rotating against the inside of your hands, which again doesn’t feel super comfortable.
For these specific movements I would recommend to just use your normal rotating D handles, but for pretty much all other movements that I do or I have tried where the handle does not need to or you don’t want it to rotate, which for me has been: chest flies, any sort of bench, shoulder pressing, rows, pulldowns, etc. this handle is perfect for and has definitely improved the feel and quality of performing these exercises in my workouts.
Iso Deadblow Handles
The last attachment here is the Iso Dead blow handle which costs $95. I do want to mention before talking about it too much further that it is only a single handle you get for this price, not a pair, although it’s specifically designed with single arm movements in mind. This handle also features a the same or very similar medium knurled 32mm width grip as well and the knurled portion of the hand is 5 inches long. The base of this attachment is what really makes this shine in my opinion, because as weird as this sounds since it is metal, it is very softly and ergonomically tapered from the handles 32mm knurled handle as it transforms into that wide 4.5in surface which very comfrotably support the contour of your hands. With a neutral grip like this instead of you really gripping the handle itself hold on, it is specifically meant for the base of the handle to be the main contact and support for you hands. When I use this handle, I am never firmly grabbing the handle portion, which you can if you want, but mainly I am distributing, you know 80% of the force from where my hand is contacting the base of the attachment. This allows your wrists to move a little more freely, while still gripping the shaft of the handle for support as needed, but just like with those offset D handles, this iso grip also allows for much better transfer of force through your arms and wrist easily and naturally, rather than having to focus on tightly gripping and angling your wrists to best accommodate the dynamic portions of any given exercise.
One other thing I wanted to mention it that this attachment has a swivel built in so it can freely rotate 360 degrees to allow you to find the best angle for you, your body, and the specific movement, since it moves easily with your hands and arms in any plane of movement. My favorite exercise to do with this handle is actually lateral raises, because you can have the base face out and a little up towards the ceiling, which allows me to internally rotate my shoulders ever so slightly and therefore incorporate more side and a little rear delts than a traditional D handle does. The other two main exercises I like to use this for is a single arm bicep curl, pretty much of any sort and a single arm tricep extension. Force 6 really did a good job with the specific taper, material, and width of this grip because seemingly no matter which angle curl, press or pull from, or how heavy I do it, and over however many sets, it always feels very comfortable, smooth, and secure while in use, expecially compared to the awful, awful, smashed hand feeling you get with a traditional tricep rope. After using something this I can never go back to and my only regret is that I didn’t by 2 of these be able to use one arm each in tandem. It would be really cool if they offered the option to buy a second handle for slightly less than the full price of the first, but for now you would have to order quantity 2 at full price.
Overall Thoughts
So overall, I have been very happy with the obvious quality and functionality of the Force 6 attachments for their specific uses in my training as I mentioned. Although they are nowhere near the cheapest attachments you can buy, they are very clearly not intended to be. I know one thing they really pride themselves on is not just selling another version of any of these similar products, but by specifically by improving and innovating on design, aesthetics, and functionality compared to the current market offerings in these categories. If you want quality and innovative cable attachments from a small US based company, I would definitely suggest giving any of these a try, or just giving them a follow on Instagram or similar to keep an eye on what they have coming in the future on their new products.
They do have one specific product I am really excited about in their new rack mounted Flex Arm. It is a power rack mounted multi angle adjustable support pad that can be used for chest supported rows, spider curls, lat pulldowns, and a variety of other exercises. Since the angle of the pad adjusts and the angle of the arm adjusts and it even has a slot for a leg holder for lat pulldowns, you can get really creative and use this arm for pretty much anything, which will be super valuable with all the all-in-one racks with built in cable systems becoming more and more of a staple in many home gyms. I plan to do a review of this Flex Arm hopefully in the next few months.
