Henny System and Lever Arms $20 Alternative: Hammock Straps

[@matthewduryea5177]

Did this guy just save me $180?! 👍

[@jrufus11]

What I did was number each hole in the hammock straps to make quick setting up of leveling

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Yes! I'm actually planning on doing a video soon where I mention this. It saves a ton of time. Thanks brother!

I just saw the henny attachment on sale on mark bell's website but realized it was only the base set up and youtubed it and found you and just ordered these straps. I've used my trx once for basically the same thing but they aren't rated for that much weight. You just saved me some money

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Happy to hear it. I love them. I have a couple sets. One set acts basically as a ring station. I set some paddle grip ROT8 knock offs clipped to the top for pullups, and wooden rings on the bottom for dips. Great set up for dip/chin supersets. Thanks for watching

[@fail2thrive]

@@ThreeStormFitness works great. First time getting the bar through those holes on the straps can be a challenge but seems easier after you break it in. Might have to rearrange a couple things in the home gym to have proper clearance since my weight rack cage wasn't placed with this in mind. Have a punching bag on one side that I had to wedge on old dip rack up against to get it out of the way and some bowflex dumb bells on cinderblocks on the other side that got in the way on the low to the ground leg movements but I'll make it work.

Just ordered the hammock straps, thanks for the tip

[@rtm6930]

Just found this Henny system, I realized I had a set of Climbing Straps (5,000lb rated) from Amazon for $11. An easier way to set it up is use the larger end to go over the bar sleeves and onto the bar (Knurled area) and loop the other end of the strap onto a T-Pin. (insert the T-Pin first into the vertical post, you'll figure it out). This way with the T-Pin you can adjust the height. Just tried it tonight, still not sure about functionality for strength and cross over

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Yeh, I've seen them set it up that way. Unfortunately, I can't get the loop over the beveled part of the sleeve though (just a bit too tight) with the hammock straps...I guess there's always a downside to trying to cheat the system :)

[@JAC3DG33K]

Thanks you just saved me $180. Subbed and checking out some of your other videos. Yes the Garage (Home) gym Facebook group is awesome

[@reddragonsubliminal6440]

Sorry one more. How do you attach strap to the rack?

[@burtbakerack1110]

That’s awesome. I’d love to see an upcoming video demonstrating some of the movements you’ve used them for.

[@GabrielHernandez-fv8nm]

have you found any straps that have 2 in. loops? I have Olympic bars.

[@jrufus11]

I've been doing this for the longest time from when I first saw the henny attachment,I had some hammock straps I bought to make a suspension trainer with each hole numbered, I immediately realised this is the same as the henny attachment

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Hey I just added a new video on several ways to use hammock straps. I gave you a shoutout for the numbering idea: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3ymoKaff8qerck Take care!

[@jrufus11]

@@ThreeStormFitness nice one

[@nolly485]

One big problem using these Hammock Straps. The cut outs in the straps that fit around your 50 diameter bar are not consistant between each strap so the bar will not be parallel to the floor it will slightly lean.

[@ThreeStormFitness]

True. I've been pretty lucky with mine in that they're very close to even, but there's no required standard (after all, they're not made for this). The slight discrepancy is barely noticeable with almost everything, however, it's clear when I experimented using them as safety straps for the bench press. Thanks for the input man!

[@eddierivera6896]

Yeah its also the same with daisy chain

[@jrufus11]

Na it levels perfect each strap is the same length so are the cut Outs I numbered the cut Outs as well

[@Ampie187]

How to use the hammock straps with a half rack? :(

[@J-9000]

Great video! How are you demarcating the hole #s on the strap?

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Thanks! Duct tape, sharpy and a log book :) I show a few configurations in this video around the 18:30 mark: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIDVn2Wwr72SrpY

[@kevinjackson4192]

Great video and great idea. Have you been able to use it to do some of the Henny system exercises?

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Thanks man! Yes, the press variations work great especially. I did a video a few months showing a whacky squat variation insured by the Henny straps here (about 14:30 in): kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2fTpqCpjJaIhac Thanks again!

[@awmlawoffice]

Damn, I did the exact same thing with the exact same hammock straps (BEARBUTT). I am almost positive they are the same thing as the henny strap. They seem to have the same dimensions and weight tolerances.

[@dlroto]

Awesome, This looks like a cheap great add on to the home gym.

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Indeed!

[@reddragonsubliminal6440]

Great video. I see you do a variety. Can the straps be used as a leg press?

[@lydennart]

Actually I was like ok the Henny looks I would like to have one but it's expensive for what is and then I saw this video, and 🤯

[@Coachtw18]

Just bought the straps glad I saw this video because was about to buy the Henny. Do you still use it and how has it lasted?

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Sweet. Use them all the time. They're the coolest freaking $20 piece of non fitness fitness equipment I've ever bought :)

[@Coachtw18]

@@ThreeStormFitness How tall is your rack and can you record some other workouts you do with the straps?

[@cmoneytheman]

how do twisters compare to bands and Weights for chest and biceps i mean do they work whole chest or just the inner ill be gettin the one like a system

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Kind of a same but different thing, though the power twister bar bend is kind of a unique exercise. I'd say it's closest to a cable fly...generally works the pec minor at the start, and depending on the squeeze, the inner pecs at the end range of motion. I like it because it also puts isometric load on the lats (that's how I do them anyway). As for bands, they differ a bit because they get harder the further out you go. For many people, the lockout is the easiest part of the movement...not so much with bands. Thanks for the comment!

[@cmoneytheman]

@@ThreeStormFitness u so late I had started like a month ago and in 3 weeks I seen a change my lower chest was lagging it still is but the shape is not chubby much like it was and my middle is shaped better to I do slow reps and the shocking thing is im doing my middle and bottom on the 2nd level 2nd level which is 40 pounds it gave me results that fast im only doing 3 sets each top middle and lower chest with twister so whole chest looks better

[@fanboy15able]

I’m dizzzzzy watching lol anyway I’ll continue watching, great vid 👊🏽

Thanks brother! Sorry for the motion sickness :)
