    I'm getting sick of the big galvanized "O" that I use for a handle on my WFD. those handles like you've got there cost about ten bucks on the 'net and should be a LOT more comfortable. Think I'll get one.

    The only problems with those handles is they tend to turn in your grasp, which can make you lose your grip more easily. I see this as a training opportunity as it forces me to hold tight when dealing with the heavier weights.

    I got mine at Play-it-again sports, but you can probably find them at Big 5 or other places that sell weight sets. It's just a common D-ring handle for cable weight machines. If your Walmart has a big sporting goods section they might even have them there. I paid about $10.00.
