I love the landmine attachment idea! I'm ordering some now and trying out some of my grip tools as landmine attachments.

[@DesignBuildLift]

Thanks! It works pretty good -especially for the price of about $1 per strap!

[@glock92046]

Regardless of the look, it works! That tricep rope was really cool

[@DesignBuildLift]

Thank you!!!! I like the way the rope attachment feels…the “give” there is in the tennis balls make it feel different than a standard tricep rope which has the hard plastic ends. If you give it a try please let me know! 🙏

[@glock92046]

Can you design something for adjustable dumbells, where the end doesnt dig into your thigh?

[@DesignBuildLift]

@@glock92046 sure - in the meantime cut an x into one side of a tennis ball and put it over the end of the dumbbell…. Makes it more comfortable - but it only works when you have the space - meaning - when you exceed 4 x 10 lbs 1” plates per side (i.e., max 80 lb dumbbell) there is no space for the ball.

[@TESLiLCuz]

Youre a genius.

Thank you for your support!!!! 🤘🙏💪

[@anthonypalladino830]

Thanks, great ideas and suggestions. I made the handles and the tricep extensions. I used a ring from Home Depot (200 lb limit) for the handles as it enables the handles to be used as a single extension. And I used the ring to attach the two straps together for the tricep extension. I think that the washers are best to hold the tennis balls as the width makes them more secure against the tennis balls. Thanks for sharing these. Great hacks!

[@DesignBuildLift]

Awesome, Anthony!!! Glad to hear it! Thank you for your support! I appreciate it!

[@RajChavdaOne]

On the safety squat bar hack you have you tried putting the tennis balls on there at the end to give you a softer grip vs the large washers? I think that may enhance that hack even more. Great ideas with these, never thought about using these all the different ways you show.

[@DesignBuildLift]

Yes- the tennis balls would definitely be more comfortable!!!! 🤘🙏💪

[@memolibir]

Here for the neutral grip 😁😁

[@JackOfHearts42]

Now i need to go buy a dozen soft loop tiedown straps.

[@DesignBuildLift]

Here are the identical straps that I used: 8-PACK Of Straps: amzn.to/3kUglqb

[@inbcetc3569]

Thank you for the video. I am looking for substitutes/alternatives for Gym Ring straps (other than ratchet straps or moving straps). Soft loop tie down straps would be too short. Any suggestion? Thank you.

[@DesignBuildLift]

I believe “Lashing Straps” is what you want. EASILY Adjustable (and fast to adjust) and strong (the ones I have from Home Depot hold 500LBS).

[@inbcetc3569]

@@DesignBuildLift Thanks again. Are lashing straps the same as ratchet straps? I may also use hammock straps or paracord. Thank you.

[@DesignBuildLift]

Lashing straps are not the same as ratchet straps- they are different.

[@RRYYAANNK7]

Have you tried to use the straps to put two weights together? My apartment gym only has 50s so wanted to see if I could use straps to tie the 50s and 40s together

[@DesignBuildLift]

Are you talking about dumbbells?

[@RRYYAANNK7]

@@DesignBuildLift lol yea my bad

[@DesignBuildLift]

+@RRYYAANNK7 I have tried it with the straps and it didn’t work too well. The dumbbells you aren’t holding swing for many exercises. I found it kind of annoying.

[@RRYYAANNK7]

@@DesignBuildLift for sure. Thanks for the response. Think I may try the “dumbbell connect” device.

11:16 Brave man right there!

[@DesignBuildLift]

Ha!

[@jyounker]

Love the ideas! Can't wrap my head around using the tie down straps with a dumbbell for the monkeyfoot alternative. And tips?

[@DesignBuildLift]

Thank you! Of course it depends on the dumbbell size/style…but the ends of each loop will fit over the ends of my 15 LB hex dumbbells (and all smaller Hex ones)….so strap on top of shoe snd strap on bottom of shoe…And connect both straps together with a carabiner…? Should work. I will test this out and some pictures during my workout tonight and then post to Instagram (at DesignBuildLift). - probably tomorrow AM. 🙏💪🤘

[@DesignBuildLift]

Okay - check out my post on Instagram (at DesignBuildLift) on 12/23/2021… I just made a video to explain this. 💪🙏🤘

[@jyounker]

@@DesignBuildLift this is awesome, thanks! Exactly what I was looking for, and way better than the solution I came up with on my own.

[@HomeGymHacksandReviews]

A lot of solid hacks / DIY! It looks like you have one of the old Powertec Compact Leg Sleds. Did you modify the seat and other parts?

[@DesignBuildLift]

Thank you!!!! I bought it used. The only mod I made to it was putting a sticker on the upholstery to cover a pink stain (looks like nail polish). Does that count as a mod? 🤣

[@HomeGymHacksandReviews]

@@DesignBuildLift absolutely! lol! Do you like it as much as I do? Aside from the Rhino, it’s my favorite leg machine.

[@DesignBuildLift]

@@HomeGymHacksandReviews i do like it! I have a very small space, so for a piece of equipment with such a small footprint- it definitely delivers one helluva workout!

[@mlieb5202]

V nice but aren’t short Climbing Slings safer?

[@DesignBuildLift]

They would work as well, but mine are rated for 3600 LBS - so I think they are fine (and cheaper). Available here: amzn.to/3kUglqb

[@mlieb5202]

Yes there are all sorts of rating numbers given. There is the braking load then there is the Working load which is much lower. Whatever the number theses soft ties straps have the climbing slings straps numbers are about 3 times as high and climbing slings have been designed to carry the weight of a person which the soft ties straps have not been designed for. So all good fun but I don’t think that a commercial Gym would entertain your soft ties straps for the use of their customers. Too risky. But your ideas are still valid for short climbing sling straps.

[@DesignBuildLift]

@@mlieb5202 These hacks are for home gyms - I never suggested that commercial gyms would ever implement any of these ideas
