body rows

Body rows are resisted exercise movements that mimic the motion of rowing a boat. When using your own weight (not seated or using a machine) body rows become a highly efficient full body workout.

cable plug and cable pocket

Lifeline's patented cable plug & cable pocket system allows for easy cable swapping and safe, secure holds.

The system consists of a high-grade plastic cone or "plug" that is injected into one or both ends of our fitness cables. The plug is designed to fit into a corresponding cable "pocket" and trap the cable.

Your cable may wear out, but your handles will last forever!

See our PetroWise™ Product section for more detailed information.
