Cable attachment / Independent-arm pulley
The tricep rope attachment that stops your stronger arm from taking over
Quick answer
The Pulley Tricep Rope Cable Attachment has two rubber cone grips that run through a red aluminum pulley. Each arm moves on its own, so the stronger side can’t take over the rep.

01 The problem
On a regular rope, your stronger arm takes over.
A standard rope is one fixed piece. When one arm is stronger, it quietly does more of the work, and the weaker side gets a free ride. You never feel it happening.
- Fixed length
Both ends are tied together, so one side can pull the other through the rep.
- Small stoppers
A thin rope and a rubber stopper are a lot to squeeze, rep after rep.
- One locked path
Both hands follow the same line, whatever your shoulders and wrists prefer.

03 How the pulley works
Why a tricep rope with a pulley? Each arm works on its own.
The rope runs over a hard-anodized aluminum pulley. Press one side down and the other side rises.
So each arm has to move its own share of the load. The stronger arm can’t take over, and the weaker side can’t hide.
- Mode 01
Both arms together
A normal two-arm pushdown. The pulley keeps the load shared between both sides.
- Mode 02
One arm at a time
Alternate single-arm reps, each side moving on its own.
- Mode 03
Hold and work
Lock one arm in an isometric hold while the other arm does reps. Then switch.
04 Cone grips
Cone grips built for men’s and women’s hands

Two rubber cones give your hand a full surface to wrap in a neutral grip, not a thin rope and a small stopper.
Each grip flips into two positions, so you can choose the hold that suits the move and your hand.

07 Why lifters choose it
Why lifters choose it
No borrowed praise. Just what the rope does, rep after rep.
- 01
Your weaker side can’t hide
Each arm works its own end of the rope through the pulley. If one side lags, you see it and feel it on every rep.
- 02
Even work on both arms
The pulley keeps the tension equal on both sides, so each arm moves its own half of the load. No more one-sided sets.
- 03
Cone grips that lock in
The cone grips sit inside your fist for a secure hold, all the way to a full lockout. No thin rope to pinch, no small stopper to squeeze.
- 04
Thin cord, serious rating
A thin, tight-braid nylon cord runs over the pulley while your hands stay on the cones. Rated to 150 lb (68 kg) per handle, 300 lb (136 kg) combined.
- 05
Clips straight in
The stainless-steel quick-link stays on the pulley, so your gym’s carabiner clips straight into it. Carabiner not included.
- 06
One rope, every staple
Pushdowns, overhead extensions, face pulls and curls, from the high pulley or the low one.

12 Questions
Tricep rope FAQ
Still unsure? Email [email protected].
A · Fit and compatibility
Will it fit my cable machine?
Yes, with a carabiner. The attachment connects to standard cable machines, functional trainers and lat/pulley stations through a carabiner, which is not included. Most gym cable machines already have one on the cable. The stainless-steel quick-link on the attachment only holds the attachment together; it is not meant to clip onto your cable.
Does it work with home gym pulley systems (loading-pin / DIY pulleys)?
Yes, as long as you connect it to the end of your cable with a carabiner (not included). Use a carabiner rated for the weight you lift.
Does it work on resistance bands or a cable machine with a ball stop?
It is designed for cable machines. Connect it to the clip or ring at the end of your cable with a carabiner (not included).
Can I use it on a high and a low pulley?
Yes. Use the high pulley for pushdowns and face pulls, the low pulley for hammer curls and front delt raises, and turn your back to the stack for overhead extensions.
Do I need a separate carabiner?
Yes. A carabiner is not included. Most gym cable machines already have one. The stainless-steel quick-link that comes on the attachment only holds the attachment together.
B · Durability and load
How much weight can it handle?
Each handle is rated to 150 lb (68 kg), for a combined load limit of 300 lb (136 kg). Always stay within those limits.
What is the rope made of?
Double-braided nylon rope.
What is the pulley made of?
Hard-anodized aluminum, finished in red. A stainless-steel quick-link holds the attachment together.
Will the rope fray?
Double-braided nylon is built for abrasion resistance. Inspect the rope and grips before each session, and stop using it if you see wear.
What is the warranty?
Every order is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee, starting the day you receive it. Within those 30 days, defects or normal wear are replaced free (photos first). There is no warranty beyond the 30 days. See our Shipping & Returns policy.
How much does the attachment weigh?
620 g (1.37 lb).
C · Grip and comfort
What are cone grips?
Two cone-shaped rubber grips that sit naturally in your hand in a neutral grip, so you are not squeezing a thin rope or a small rubber stopper.
Will the grips pinch my fingers like regular rope stoppers?
The cone shape gives your hand a full grip surface instead of the small stopper that pinches on many standard ropes. Comfort varies from person to person, which is why you have 30 days to try it.
Do they fit small (women's) and large (men's) hands?
Yes. The cone grips are sized for both men's and women's hands.
What does "grips flip into two positions" mean?
Each cone grip flips into two positions, so you can choose the hold that suits the exercise and your hand.
Is it easier on my wrists and elbows?
The neutral grip, and the freedom each arm has through the pulley, let your wrists and arms follow their own natural path through the movement. If you have a wrist or elbow condition, check with a health professional first.
Is the rubber slippery when hands are sweaty?
The grips are rubber cones, so your hand wraps a full surface rather than a thin rope. If your hands get very sweaty, wipe your hands and the grips between sets.
D · Exercises
What exercises can I do with it?
Tricep pushdowns, overhead tricep extensions, hammer curls, face pulls, front delt raises, twisting ab crunches, and alternating single-arm reps with an isometric hold.
How does the pulley help?
The central pulley lets each arm move independently, so your stronger arm cannot take over the rep.
Will it help with uneven arm strength?
Because each arm works on its own through the pulley, the weaker side has to do its share, which helps you train both arms evenly.
What is an isometric hold with this rope?
Hold one arm still at a fixed point, for example fully extended on a pushdown, while the other arm does reps. Then switch sides.
Can I still do normal two-arm pushdowns?
Yes. Push both grips together for a standard pushdown. The pulley keeps the load shared between both sides.
Can I do face pulls and curls with it (not only triceps)?
Yes. Face pulls, hammer curls and front delt raises all work with it, along with twisting ab crunches.
Is it good for cable crunches?
Yes, including twisting ab crunches.
E · Sizing and length
How long is the rope?
The attachment measures 48 cm (18.9 in) in total length.
Is it too long for pushdowns if I'm short / my machine has a short cable?
At 48 cm (18.9 in) overall it is a compact attachment. Set your machine's pulley height so the grips start at a comfortable point for your height and the exercise.
What are the grip dimensions?
Each cone grip is 12 cm (4.7 in) tall, with a base of 6 cm (2.4 in) each, 12 cm (4.7 in) combined.
Does the pulley hit my head on overhead extensions or crunches?
Set the cable height and your distance from the stack so the pulley travels on a clear path behind or above your head, and move with control.
F · Shipping and returns
How long does delivery take?
Usually 2–5 business days within Canada and 3–8 business days to the USA.
How much is shipping in Canada?
Free expedited shipping* to most addresses in Canada. For remote or rural addresses, you only pay the difference between the shipping cost to your address and the cost to the nearest comparable location that qualifies for free shipping. See our Shipping & Returns policy.
Do remote or rural areas pay extra shipping?
In Canada, only the difference. If you live in a remote or rural area in Canada, you pay the difference between the actual shipping cost to your address and the cost to the nearest comparable location that qualifies for free shipping. For example, if shipping to the nearest qualifying location costs $30 and shipping to your address costs $55, you pay $25. (Example figures only, not actual carrier rates.) This rule applies to Canada only. US orders pay the carrier's calculated rate shown at checkout.
How fast will it ship?
Orders placed before 12 pm Eastern, Monday to Friday, ship the same day. Orders placed after 12 pm ET, on weekends or on holidays ship the next business day.
Do you ship to the US? Cost and duties?
Yes. Duties covered, no surprise customs fees: Winback covers all US customs, duties and import fees, so you pay no duties. For shipping, every US address, in any city, rural or not, pays exactly the carrier's calculated rate (Canada Post or UPS) shown at checkout, nothing more. Delivery usually takes 3–8 business days. See our Shipping & Returns policy.
What if I don't like it?
You get a 30-day money-back guarantee from the day you receive it, with a free return label. Email [email protected] to start a return. The item must be in excellent working condition, and every return is inspected, and you get your refund once it passes inspection.
What does it cost?
CA$79 in Canada, with free expedited shipping*. For US orders, switch the currency selector at the top of the page to USD: US$69, with the carrier's shipping rate shown at checkout and all US duties and customs fees covered by us. Applicable taxes (Canadian taxes or US sales tax) are calculated at checkout.
G · Compared with a regular rope
How is this different from a regular tricep rope?
A regular rope is one fixed length with small stoppers. Here, two cone grips run through a central pulley, so each arm works independently, you can hold one arm isometrically while the other works, and the neutral cone grips are more comfortable to hold.
Why pay more than a $25 rope?
You get independent-arm training a standard rope can't do, cone grips that fit men's and women's hands, a load limit of 150 lb (68 kg) per handle and 300 lb (136 kg) combined, a hard-anodized aluminum pulley, free expedited shipping across Canada*, a free welcome gift while supplies last, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
H · Free welcome gift
What is the free welcome gift?
While supplies last, every order comes with 5 mini loop bands (short loop resistance bands in progressive resistance levels, no carrying case) and a free exercise guide (PDF) for the tricep rope. The guide arrives as a download link in your order confirmation email.
Is the welcome gift included with every order?
Yes, with every purchase while our limited stock lasts. The quantity is limited, so the offer ends when the bands run out.
Train both arms. Evenly.
