DIY Machine Press Alternative Vol. 2 (this time with hammock straps!)

[@marcsgombick2366]

Great idea... You saved me a lot of $$$ . Love your videos and ingenuity 😊 God Bless you and your wife for making these videos

[@elMusico78]

“Yeah baby, its hammock straps” lol

[@jamesd1724]

This is great. I already got the straps from the Dumbbell spotter video and it's been working like a charm.

[@ThreeStormFitness]

That's great to hear man. I put these out sometimes and wonder if these shanannigans will work for other people as well as they work for me. Thanks very much for the feedback!

[@JAC3DG33K]

Nice solution, and I also place a couple kettlebells behind my bench as well for cable and band presses

[@tobsnimhomegym4910]

Wow. What an idea. I love it! Is there a Problem with stability when you load/ deload your bar?😅👌😁💪

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Thank you! Honestly, no, not at all. The tension from the back pins it to the rack pretty nice. That said, I still unload/load one plate at a time on each side just to be safe (if course, safe is a relative term) :)

Your wife is AWESOME being kind enough to clean your…I mean y’all’s gym. Not a lot of women these days would do that. Must be a keeper. Congrats sir. And thank you for all the tips/tricks/hacks. :-D

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Yessir! I'm a lucky fella ;)

[@prodextron]

Can these straps be used to self-spot a barbell in a traditional bench press?

[@IronMayne]

As always the wives are the real MVP lol

[@Ampie187]

Awesome dude! Thanks for the tip!

[@F2fntypvvjs]

You crazy, love the innovation

[@nolly485]

Could you not use it for doing leg presses having your feet push the bar up?

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Yes, it's just a little weird. I wear 14s so having just the bar on my feet feels a little precarious. The Henny system (the real one) makes a foot plate attachment, but I haven't used it. Thought about mounting a wood plank with some screw clamps on the bar. If I get it going, I'll also probably add two more hammock straps... Just in case. Thanks for watching!

[@Fatfrogsrock]

@@ThreeStormFitness would you not use the swiss bar you have instead?

[@gavintheshiba8304]

Great video as always, you never fail to impress! Also, do you plan on ever going shirtless in future videos? I’m curious as to how all this working out is contributing to your physique!

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Thank you! I'm sure I will at some point. I haven't mainly because I shoot these videos impulsively, and don't tend to have my shirt off at the time. Also, lately, my diet and training volume have been lacking quite a bit. All you'd see is a big white mess if I had my shirt off. Here I am a few years ago when my diet was tight: threestormfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/side_by_side_comparison_med-650x675.png And here's another time: threestormfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/rob_before_after_6year.jpg And this was about a year ago: instagram.com/p/B6TKqIbFw4T/?igshid=1xxzmio5m7prw

@@ThreeStormFitness Thanks, you physique is absolutely amazing, you should be very proud of yourself. I love those big built muscles! I like your feet too, if that doesn’t gross you out.

[@craigjones1939]

Rob. Buddy. You could use better workout shorts… maybe just a pair of ball shorts would be good. LOL… They are my favorite shorts. But serious question: What are those shoes you’re wearing?! I love them!! Please tell me the brand bro! Thanks!! 😊😉

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Craig, what's up dude! Ya know, I was wearing the "ball shorts" (if it's the ones I think you're taking about), but before we went down to the barn I changed out of them because my wife thinks they make me look like a pervert (I am, but I don't want to look like one) Those are my new Vans. Meant to mention them but I got carried away in all the excitement. Love em so far. I'll do a review on them once I break em in. Later bud!

[@craigjones1939]

Hahaha I know what you mean man. Ball shorts can be quite “revealing”, but boy are they comfy!! Yeah, I guess it’s best we keep our pervness hidden. 😉 Vans! Sweet! I’m going to shop for a pair… And I’m looking forward to your review! Take care buddy! ttyl

[@getagripjayhoo4190]

Instantly i came an idea of hack squat

[@RickRubinesque]

GEEZASS! Pick a thing! And talk about that thing. That was like the ramblings of a child with rampant ADD who was coming up on a near lethal dose of MDMA. My brain is exhausted! Nice idea tho.
