Also, I've see this bar in the shape of a "U" that people use for cable rows (https://www.bodyscienceusa.com/rear-delt-exercises/) here's a picture- they call it a Revolving Cable Row or Lat Pull Down Bar Handle. But I feel like arms are way out from body when I use that.

Then I also see people use the individual handles for cable rows- where there are two cables and they put a handle on each one.

Is there a preference, or how do those different handles work different muscles during the cable row?

Thanks!
OK, I know it's an old thread but this was a question that I was always wondering about. A friend, who is a physical therapist, explained to me that the different grips activate the muscles in a different way. I never realized but even when doing bicep curls your triceps and many other muscles are also firing. That is why I think it's important to vary grip and width on the bars to build complete strength and prevent injuries.
