I can adjust the product for kickback variations, which makes it fantastically versatile.
I need to use light enough weights to pull the cable out by hand and attach it to the ankle strap.
I was able to lift up to 60lbs with the attachment without any issue. However, the D ring dug into me, so it needs improvement in this regard.
