Exercise Machine Handle System

An exercise machine, comprising:

• a frame having a first track, a second track, a first end and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the frame has a longitudinal axis and wherein the second track is parallel with respect to the first track;
• a carriage movably connected to the first track and the second track;
• wherein the carriage is adapted to be movable along a portion of the longitudinal axis;
• at least one bias member adapted to be connected to the carriage to provide a resistance force to the carriage;
• a first platform connected to or near the first end of the frame, wherein the first platform has an upper surface;
• a first stationary handle extending upwardly from the first platform, wherein the first stationary handle extends upwardly from near a first side of the first platform, and wherein the first stationary handle has an inverted U-shaped structure;
• and
• a second stationary handle extending upwardly from the first platform, wherein the second stationary handle extends upwardly from near a second side of the first platform, wherein the second stationary handle has an inverted U-shaped structure, and wherein the second side of the first platform is opposite of the first side of the first platform;
• wherein the first stationary handle and the second stationary handle are parallel to one another, and wherein the first stationary handle and the second stationary handle are each oriented parallel with respect to the first track;
• wherein the first stationary handle and the second stationary handle mirror one another.
