THIS is absolute GENIUS. I don't have sturdy door jams in our house, so this idea is nothing short of perfect.
@dd44069 жыл бұрын
Awesome video. For an extra $7 I added 6 steel rings and a spring link (the 200lb loads work for me) to make it adjustable outside of the house. I put a ring in the locking loop and a ring in every overhand knot in the anchor strap. In my version the anchor strap is separate and attaches to the suspension rig with the spring link. Works great.

Great video, I love the simplicity of the solution, well done. After trying the suspension trainer with the locking loop I found that 4 meters was a bit short for me. I am 5' 10" and if I were to do it again I would use 5-6 meters for the handles. The locking loop was hitting the back of my neck when I extended my arms. I made two modifications to fix the issue. I removed the locking loop which added 2-3 feet to the handles which solved the issue with the locking loop hitting my neck. In the second piece of webbing I didn't' double it over I just tied a series a over hand knots as suggested and then tied a bowline in the end of the strap that hangs from the door. I used a small bowline loop with an over hand knot on either side of the handles to create a stop. I thought about using a marlin spike hitch on either side with a wide toggle but that seemed over kill. With this setup you don't have to double over the second strap that connects to the door which can be tight if your door jam doesn't have much of a gap.

I've already made one of the versions you referred to in your video but your solution for creating the safety loop is ingenious in its simplicity.

Ever since I found out how to DIY make these straps, I've been playing a game with myself "how cheap can I make this?" First $10 was acceptable, then $8, but now it's down to $4 with your method thanks!

Thank you for your design and instructions. I have been making suspension trainers to give to friends to help them get into better exercise habits, and I have been basically copying the Lifeline Jungle Gym type with foot loops, cam type tie down straps and PVC piping handles. Your design is easy to make, very cost effective and really light to carry. I have made one basic change: I left the metal hook on the hang up support to give me more flexibility in hanging or anchoring the unit. I also generally carry an additional 6-12 ft. tie down strap to give me additional ability to attach and anchor. Thanks again, really a great posting.

Has anyone had troubled with failure where the one piece of webbing contacts and slides against the other? In the climbing world, this is a big no-no, and when teaching we used to slide webbing back and forth against each other with force and "burn" through in seconds as a demo. I suppose in this setup there's not much motion once you weight the system, but curious if anyone has had trouble? I would put a carabiner or metal ring at that connection to avoid friction.

If you have a limb or bar you want to use, wrap it around and put the handles through the loops on the extender/door strap. Adjust the length the same as if on a door, by using different loops between the knots.
@Smith_Jnr6 жыл бұрын
Ridiculous over-complication. Leave the hooks attached, they come in very useful. Having two separate straps allows you to space them apart on certain exercises, which increases difficulty and better targets the muscles (pushups for example). It has the added benefit of not needing to tie the straps together when doing one arm movements.
