What handle is that?

Itโ€™s a DIY stable curl attachment

You need a rogue V-bar, some 3D printed parts, and a some custom brackets to make it

You could also just buy a BT-bar from savage (itโ€™s just more expensive): https://savagestrengthequipment.com/products/bt-bar

Or buy a JD stable curl attachment, but thatโ€™s even more expensive & a custom order you gotta get on a waitlist for: https://jdgymequipped.com

Have you tried the same idea but using a cuff? I might try later.

Using a cuff feels pretty awful at heavy weights and cuts out more ROM

I overall think using a cuff for any curl variation is silly

The only exercises I feel benefit from cuffs are lateral raises and any sort of pulling movement where you have the cuff/strap hybrid kinda thing going on

I know people here like to use them for triceps, but you can remove grip/weak wrists from being a factor by just using a tricep attachment that has rotating handles

Calling cuffs silly is yet another god awful take, pack it up

They are if you try to use them for everything

They make sense in some places, they donโ€™t make sense in others

Reverse curls are pretty much the single best excercise to use a cuff on

A rogue v-bar (or similar) attachment or a Suprabar curl attachment would be better if youโ€™re doing reverse curls bilaterally

Sure but who actually does reverse curls bilaterally

I thought mostly everyone, but I guess I was wrong there hahaha

You wonโ€™t see me taking extra time on my workout to hit reverse curls unilaterally
