NOSSK RT-17 Trainer Review

[@yellowjacket7023]

I was highly considering buying these to have in tandem with my Olympic Rings in the beginning of the video, but after I found out that this helps support you Matt, I instantly picked them up. Thanks for leading us to the best knowledge you can give! This is the least I can do and you've helped me in my journey 10 fold. Lifelong subscriber here. I'll be picking up a shirt next week.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Super appreciate that Christopher! Thank you very much and enjoy your RT-17!

[@dansoderberg4753]

had mine for years now still awesome just like your channel

[@LeeDowningKeat]

Great review. Nice option to replace gymnastic rings if you want ultra lightweight. Rings are in my opinion are the best but this seems a great sub

[@vaggs75]

This is a very soothing video for some reason. I think you are mixing all these sensations with the fabrics and materials, along with fitness(which i enjoy), and somehow that makes me feel giggly. Anyway just letting you know. By the way thanks for being so original, you give me courage to do things my way. And I mean this in a factual rather than sensational way!

[@RedDeltaProject]

Glad to hear Vaggs! Stay strong and walk your own path, the world needs the unique points you bring to the table.

[@JD-nc7mk]

Thanks for sharing, so often, with enthusiasm. I never regret time spent on your content, be it your books or videos. 3 thumbs up!

[@RedDeltaProject]

Appreciate that big time J D, always pushing forward.

God bless Jesus loves ya dude hope you are doing blessed

[@robtkatz]

Matt, how does the Nossk rt-17 compare to the Nossk Cyclone Pulley?

[@zooner7256]

I made 2 purchases yesterday - the RT17 and your latest book.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Rock on Aaron! thank you very much for the support!

[@darb3334]

I love this apparatus! Setup in 5 minutes and portable. Full range of workout options for my small basement gym😎💪

[@RedDeltaProject]

Glad you like it Darryl, Rock on!

[@giladsiry]

Hey, I've seen your video and i really liked yoyr review. I wondered if you still consider this to be your favorite suspension trainer, and whether you have any alternatives that work similar to this one as i couldn't find anything with such a simple set-up as this one (as shipping for this item costs more than the product itself to my country).

[@michaelkulman7095]

You could just buy strong rope and make one. I think Matt has an old diy video. Handles? DIY or use rings or use a commercial handle.

[@regprofant6984]

You have saved me about $300 so far with your isometric trainer, now this. However, it's not the money as I will just write it off through my company but it's all so light and compact as I will be traveling so much. I can only say How much you are appreciated. It's because of you that I am considering establishing a facility in golden. We are also looking at Panama. So I do need light mobile equipment, short maximum producing routines for this old fart. I have also been looking at brute force sand bags as they have one I can load up to 400#. I still have issues from my power lifting days when I was young and stupid. Still am I guess. I don't think I will be using them that much as I will rely on isometrics for my power more but kind of use to quantify my strength. Us old farts can't take anything for granted. For example I have a black belt in 3 systems but since I have gotten older my kicks stink so my KENPO works far better for me. Forget grappling, I know enough to get by but I don't want to be on the ground in some parking lot. I trained in parking lots, bars, car lots , all types of environments so I wouldn't get spoiled. Anyways I went on to much just to say thank you. AS ALWAYS YOU DID A GREAT JOB ON THIS VIDEO. YOUR OPINION SEEMED FAIR AND HONEST

[@RedDeltaProject]

Oh wow! If you end up over in Golden we should certainly meet up for a workout and some beers. ALso keep me posted on that workout gym you may build. Would love to see what you're thinking about

[@chadashton7029]

Would you recommend a double anchor point over single if the setup was for garage use only and would not be moved around or used for travel?

[@masonictrucker8031]

Just ordered the RT-17 from Nossk and also just ordered Grind style calisthenics from amazon.co.uk on kindle, really looking forward to getting back to some functional training.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Fantastic and enjoy them both! Thank you very much for the support and feel free to DM me on instagram @red.delta.project with any questions

[@isaacfleming1896]

Hey Matt, would love to see you do a podcast with Ben Pakulski. You guys would talks some great content!

[@odumg40]

I have been using a trx for a few years now and I love it but push ups on it is asking for strap burn. So you convinced me. Thanks Matt! Just bought a copy of SBWT from Amazon as well. Time to get grinding...btw you are one of, if not the best bodyweight streamers today. Keep it going brotha.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Fantastic and thank you very much for the support! Also, here's a video that may help with that strap burn: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4OuipyZarx-nc0

[@odumg40]

@@RedDeltaProject thanks again!

[@monkeyb1820]

I had a 2009 trx with the foam handles. It lasted about 9 years. The foam actually held up fine, but the plastic handles were inferior to the current ones and one started cracking and falling apart. Trx wouldn't do anything for me, but I did buy the pro model when it was on sale and I used an extra coupon code (yes probably still not a great deal--but I figured it's a once every 8-10 year type of purchase). I am considering this nossk as a second piece I can set up during this apocalypse. I can set it up on my gazebo beam next to trx, where nossk is well suited for pullups (beam is like 8" wide), but trx is hooked onto that single strap, still good for a lot of the usual exercises. I figure I can set up both at once, go back and forth between the two.

[@RedDeltaProject]

That's a smart set up right there Monkey Boy, definetly good to set up multiple pieces and that way it's easier to switch from one exercise to another

[@monkeyb1820]

@@RedDeltaProject nossk just arrived. The plastic handles are pretty much identical to the ones from my 2009 trx--but at this price point I think that's fine. The handles/ropes are good quality, nice and lightweight. Good product for the money. Like you said: dual point is more ideal--but you can still get a great workout from single-point setup, and single point is simpler to setup and get-going. Most people can't do full body-ups/dips, so I think the single point is more practical for most people.

[@CameronStewartDC]

I am debating between the Rt-17 and the Twin Pro... It would be nice to see a side by side comparison.

[@RedDeltaProject]

They both have their strengths, and for the most part, you'll be getting the same bacic use out of both of them. The rRT is more of a single anchor point design and easier to throw over high anchor points like tree limbs. The TT, is better if you want to do things like dips and single arm work.

[@wittvonwitt4403]

Just got mine in yesterday!

[@LarryRichelli]

Price has gone up to $30. Do you have to learn how to tie a Prusik Hitch or does it already come with it tied?

[@michaelkulman7095]

It's easy, clearly shown in the manual, it's just going loop into loop a certain number of times. Climbers use it so a real climbing channels on KZbin will show it. The hoop of smaller rope on handle is pretied so it's easy. Look at Prussik knot on Wikipedia to understand the attachment of the smaller rope to thicker rope. It may come tied. Once tied you just move it up and down you don't retie it each time. It works by constriction under load.

[@quintenhuggins2142]

Love this review Matt. I have been looking for something strong, portable, and lightweight. Might have to get an early Father's day gift.

[@RedDeltaProject]

This will certainly fit the bill for all of those qualities and more. Happy early Fathers day!

[@RingsideRaine]

Hi! Thank you so much for this video. I am looking for a TRX alternative and this looks like a winner to me! Just wondering if you noticed any pros and cons of using a rope trainer vs a strap trainer? Thank you again!

[@RedDeltaProject]

Not that much, the rope trainers do have a bit of stretch to them when you first put weight onto them after adjustment. Some people like this, other's prefer a tight and taught feel of the straps. I'll have a review out shortly about the NOSSK Twin Trainer which is their most robust strap design.

[@LarryRichelli]

What trainer are you using on the cover of your book, Grand Style? Thanks

[@jimgoldstein786]

I bought the world trainer you recommended for isometrics and it is great. Really good for travel (if we ever do that again). I see this comany has a number of straps. Curious why you got this one instead of their higher end price wise. Which is not very high compartively.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Simple, this is the one they sent me. I may get my hands on the other one soon and do a review on that too.

[@ParkerBinion]

The Nossk Cyclone appears to be the RT-17 with a pulley to add instability, unilateral suspension training and body fight. All for $40!

[@wesleyangel777]

It seems like after you improved the s. trainer, all of these other trainer are starting to come out. Could be timing and attention though. Either way, thanks for the honest review. I still prefer the last diy trainers you made. I'm still using the rope one before the cam one. Have a great evening!

[@RedDeltaProject]

Thanks Wesley! It is interesting how so many new companies are making these things, but over all, they are all pretty much the same basic idea.

[@wesleyangel777]

@Markus Jenny Thanks for letting us know, Markus. Have a great evening!

[@loulopez554]

I have two of their units and also think they are the best,the company is across the bridge from me and they are very nice people to deal with.

[@RedDeltaProject]

I agree. I was just on the phone the other day with them and they are great!

[@RingsideRaine]

Hi Lou! I've been debating between the rope trainer and the strap trainer... i have mostly used TRX at the gym but it seems like the rope trainer operates exactly the same

[@keepcalmandletmehelpyou1565]

Hey Matt. I just did my side plank leg lifts and my hips (could not lift my leg anymore) gave out way before my obliques.I felt nothing in my obliques during the exercise probably because there was not enough time for them to get fatigued (i was watching myself and my form was good,no sagging).I find normal side planks just too easy as I can do them for 2 and a half minutes..Should I continue doing my side planks like this and wait until my hips get stronger and catch up or should I try something else?

[@RedDeltaProject]

Yep, your hips are the weak link in your lateral chain, which is extremly common. So I would do two different side planks. - the first to challenge your obliques where you keep your feet on the floor and stretch yourself out further to add resistance. You can also do this with one hand suspended to really make it hard. - Then do a side plank with the top leg lifted a bit or any variation where you feel it in the hips.

[@LarryRichelli]

I have been trying to see how you would attach a NOSSK Twin Pro to a single point like a tree!

[@aristidesfl]

They don't chip to Germany. Any alternatives for those of us in Europe?

[@pnchong9596]

Unfortunately Nossk would not ship to Singapore. Nossk would not even reply to my emails 3 times!

[@WaltLQ]

Matt what if we wrapped athletic tape around it?

[@RedDeltaProject]

I've done that in the past, but have found that it doesn't hold up very well. Sometimes the adhesive bleeds through the tape and makes the handles a sticky mess. Instead, I've come to use this simple technique to add a no-slip grip texture to PVC which is also very durable: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpTcfJ5ohL9qb9U

Can Somebody PLEASE recommend a good one for europe??? I am from austria and this one costs me with delivery + tax = +100 bucks!!! Please!

I would make one DIY. here's how you can do that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2rSdId3mrlgn6M

[@immortalsmoke509]

Is this still available? I tried ordering it twice the second time I went to get another prepaid visa and it still didn't go but it didn't say out of stock, does anybody know? It's much appreciated

[@RedDeltaProject]

So far as I know it should still certainly be available for sure.

[@immortalsmoke509]

@@RedDeltaProject I appreciate it, if I am unable for any reason is there anything else I can use for the same purpose exactly? I ordered your isometric and starter bodyweight training and ordering your martial arts bodyweight training planning on training it all I have bands and ordered the iso band but just need the rope trainer now by nosk and I should be set? much respect for your knowledge and your intent to work under it all and do as you do. Keep it true brother

[@parwangrai487]

You are my favorite youtuber. One day when I'll be famous I will give you a shoutout

[@RedDeltaProject]

Thanks Parwang, appreciate that!

[@marcelloantoniodreier4795]

it's such a shame...like with many fitness KZbinr who do reviews... free shipping always only to America and Canada. that sucks. I would pay alone for shipping to austria 21 bucks and another few bucks for American tax. What a pity.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Probably because this is an American company. I know how you feel, I've ordered stuff from Europe in the past and had to pay through the nose for shipping. With that, I just turn to Amazon Prime to see if that's a better way to go.

[@alexandruradudragos1434]

You should have patented your product. You are the true inventor of the prusik trainer. I guess it's a bit late now isn't it?

[@RedDeltaProject]

meh, the cost in time and money to patent an idea is insane. Appreciate the props though

[@regprofant6984]

I would love to get together and would also pay you for your professional input or more like maybe financing a facility you would like but we will see. The future is kind of clouded with tjis corona virus scare. If you go on Telegram, as it's secure, I can talk more plainly

Telegram? I'll have to look into that. But you're always free to reach me on [e-mail] as well.
