Have you ever tried using gymnastics rings in a doorway? I know I have. And although it worked, it was pretty scary knowing that if the pull up bar gave out, the whole setup would come tumbling down on me as I landed flat on the floor. That's where the Duonamic Eleviia Rings come into play. See, I've always struggled with hanging gymnastics rings because I don't have many good places around the house. Best place is the i-beam in my garage, but that's a pain in the winter when the garage is freezing cold. So when Duonamic announced their rings attachment for the Eleviia, I was beyond excited. And spoiler: the Duonamic rings do not disappoint!

All my doors are (typical in german) 300+ mm. This plastic clamps will not fit and even all Pullup bars on the market wont. The market is full of expensive things what will break a week after buying it.

[@kasskath3578]

Yeah, my doorframe in Tirol is about as thick, at least 30cm. No way to fit a pull-up bar or these rings.

[@AbduCola]

I liked how you thanked us for using your code 😂. Bruh. Not only did your review give me piece of mind to buy this but you saved me over $20

[@polapaul]

One bad thing about using gym rings with this product is that you can’t do any inclined pull or push exercises. If the downward force is not directly below the “clamps,” one leg of the clamp will lift away from the surface it was on and the whole setup becomes very unstable. That’s how I ended up falling backwards when I was trying to do inclined rows.

[@PraveenSawh]

good point

[@ExpeditionaryRanger]

For that, get a set of Rogue rings door straps... which will do the job if you can work with a door closed.

[@fleadoggreen9062]

Thanks for the info

[@swilhelm3180]

@@ExpeditionaryRanger You don't need Rogue anything....just put your buckles behind your door and use a slip through knot on each ring. Or put something soft that the strap can loop through on the other side of the door. The whole thing is ridiculous though: Hang them from the ceiling. Test your wood ceiling beams by screwing a small screw in manually to feel how tight the wood is above your drywall. You don't want to use rotted wood! But if there is a roof right above you, definitely test the wood. A small hole in your drywall can be covered with a bit of mud or tape of the same color as your ceiling. Then think of what materials are available for you to make a plate that will straddle a big area of the ceiling. This plate will be secured with headless bolts with a wood thread for your ceiling beam, a space for the drywall, then a machine thread that will hold the nuts that will secure your plate. This allows those headless bolts to be installed once and never touched again maintaining strength. Wood epoxy is often used to get an even more secure mount. You want these bolts spread out over your ceiling, wide enough so your straps can be spread apart enough. As ceiling studs are usually 16" apart, work with that. Most people don't need more than 64" between their straps and for many, 48" would be OK. As you will be putting stress fore and aft and sideways, mount that plate to account for that. You're going to mount a smooth bar to that mounting plate for your straps to go around. Insert the headless bolts fore and aft from that bar so when you do incline moves you have good support. Usually people forget about this when mounting in one spot on their ceiling beam. Also, if there is any wood issues using 9+ mounting points give you ample backup. I've looked at a lot of ring install videos and not one is well done. This really needs to be addressed. Ring installation is so smart ad they can be removed and disappear when not in use.

[@LeeDowningKeat]

Awesome review Ryan very similar to my review . I’m in the same boat with having rings inside in the warm over using them in the cold gym definitely makes using them consistently a lot better. I agree that finally there is a safe option to use them in the doorway. I spent years using them on a normal doorframe pull up bar and it isn’t the safest option. Keep up the awesome content

[@smooth1981]

Do you train people I just wanted to know i’ve been watching you for a couple of months now I like how you talk to people💪🏾👌🏾

[@MarcusWolford]

Hey bud, great video! As a strength coach, like you, my main concern is a recommendation for my average client. As you might know the average person cannot do a single dip, pushup or pullup. Therefore the #1 use case would be inverted rows, where the handles are NOT directly under the anchor. - So really my only question is can these safely do inverted ring rows where the handles are outside the anchor point?

[@MinusTheGym]

There’s a little bit of forgiveness with the rings being not directly under the anchor, you can move them maybe 20 degrees or a little more without any concern, but you definitely can’t pull them way out for things like face pulls and incline inverted rows. I’d say a beginner getting these rings would be limited to bent arm hangs and support holds until they build the required strength to progress. A complete beginner who can’t hang or support hold would be better off with different equipment. Hope that helps!

[@jackschryver661]

Has anyone had the opportunity to compare this duonamic setup to gym rings hung from Jayflex crossgrips?

[@captaincanaveral]

Is there any chance we can get more about your insight on working out when out of home, like a vacation situation, maintaining training, etc…?

[@Axel-gn2ii]

How do I figure out what molding for the doorway there is in an airbnb....

[@MinusTheGym]

You can usually tell by the pictures before you book it, but I typically just bring my Duonamic and then find out when I get there.

[@danielpspersonal]

tried using your links onthe description, but they do not work. so I googled it. just to warn ya as more people could be having the same problem.

[@charlesrodolf7309]

Wtf pricey as fuck

[@wildeslothe5475]

Would be kinda hard to do a flip on a doorway :D Perhaps a half flip with hard stop.

[@randalalansmith9883]

Website demands I allow notifications. So nevermind.

[@jamesbatbondman988]

Personnaly I like to keep the pullup grips and attach the ring ropes onto the eleviia itseld. This way I can do my pullups with the grips while having my rings lower so I can also do dips without changing the configuration everytime

[@adamtheamazing4411]

I'm thinking of getting the eleviia without the rings attachment as i have rings already. is it nice and stable this way?

[@jamesbatbondman988]

@@adamtheamazing4411 I think the grips alone are very nice!

[@bryan6aero]

Do you think you could use other Olympic style rings with the original Duonamic?

[@DejiDigital]

Hey MTG when you say “plant baked”, does that mean that you eat ZERO meat? None at all? Or you simply eat MOSTLY plants.

[@JivecattheMagnificent]

I think he's said before that he's almost vegan, so my guess would be zero meat, maybe sometimes some honey or something. Just a guess, though.

[@plnkfloydian7814]

Last year I finally got around to installing some i bolts to hang my rings from. I installed them a bit too narrow and have been too lazy to redo it. 🤔

[@the_Acaman]

I just attach my rings on the doorway hang bar - works like a charm

[@etoeto6754]

You look like Johnny Sins

[@j.m.b5441]

I love the rings but my issue is that they I get elbow pain when I do the push ups, right now I only use them for neutral grip pull ups. Thanks for all your videos and info.

[@bestibomber]

Is the duonomic rings that much better than rings with a door pull up bar?

[@keith606]

OK to do L-sits with the rings? Another reviewer stated that the manufacturer says that you’re feet and legs should be directly underneath you when chinning.

[@MinusTheGym]

I’ve done some pretty dumb stuff on these rings. Even inverted hangs and back lever work (I had a gym mat underneath me, at least). But yes, it’s safest to keep legs under and not do anything inverted 😊

[@SuperhumanUnchained]

Wow 😳 great video and explanation of using these great rings it is important because many people makes a lot of mistakes with the rings

[@Northstar2000]

Thank you step dad

[@sfrichy]

Can you make a beginner rings tutorial?

[@josephshir548]

question- did you change the black string when you went from handles to rings? Seems like you can't use the same string with both. I've been changing but I'm wondering if I'm doing so unnecessarily.

[@jackschryver661]

Looking at the diagram of the set, there is a shorter second black string apparently for the rings. allowing for higher placement of the rings. I've got my own rings, so I would like to get my own triangle carabiners and a short heavy string from a hardware store.

[@RenzorTheRed]

I don't know about supporting bodyweight on trim like that. Trim is just held on with little finishing nails.

[@AllanCostaDom]

do they deliver in Brazil?

[@lucasbrasil6269]

If they do, it will probably cost us 150 dollars

[@lucasbrasil6269]

Actually they do, in my case the delivery costs 40 dollars

[@jasoncapenecas5475]

These rings are not olympic size and are bigger but not as big as some others

[@Elvin_K]

Thank you for another excellent review! In your experience, thus far, are there any benefits to rings that are more narrow such as the ones from baseblocks? Such as.. Are they easier to learn on?

[@MinusTheGym]

The smaller diameter rings are easier on the grip strength requirements, which can be an advantage or disadvantage. I’d say people with smaller hands may benefit from having the smaller diameter rings, women especially, but the advantage to the thicker rings is of course you build up more grip strength as you use them.

[@armahthetrainer]

I like that you reference the cold temperature in the garage. Where do you live? And how do you combat a variety of climates in your garage workout space--coldest of cold & hottest of hot primarily?

[@kingofdeath5600]

Can you do chest flys with this?(in push up position)

[@anonymouslakernerd7214]

Gotta be careful with that cheap trim.

[@MNIU_]

I have French doors in my office area turned gym so I appreciate this

[@JivecattheMagnificent]

Big props to you, bro, love what you do. Luckily I don't need these kind of rings, but yeah I can see why they'd be useful for a lot of people.

[@albertot.3556]

Hi Ryan! Do they sell to Europe? (Spain). What about sending costs? Thank you!

[@MinusTheGym]

Their website said global shipping last time I checked. I’m not sure about the rates though.

[@princepacifico1512]

Hey bro watch your last video I want to ask a question since this video is more new. What kind of diet u do.. like can u give examples are u strictly vegan or are u keto vegan???

[@pierreterrior4354]

Can you use rubberbanditz to do beginner pull-ups and dips?

[@educationalleague3686]

Thanks Johnny Rings

[@deadtrouthunter]

What is the recommended weight limit for the elevia? I did not notice it on the website. Thank you!!

[@MinusTheGym]

250 LBS/115 KG with weight distributed on both sides of the Eleviia

[@EdwardTheMonkey]

You can make a pullup bar with black pipe for $15 and screw into your joists.

[@jaleesa00]

Or a grab bar

[@Siberius-]

I suppose they should also only be used in a very straight up-and-down manner, rather than inclined exercises. Really thinking of getting the "KT folding stand frame" for rings...

[@jackschryver661]

This is really an important issue that could limit the usefulness of the Duonamic/rings combination if true. For example, I would also want to use this setup for inverted rows and tricep extensions.

[@Siberius-]

@@jackschryver661 - Yea I need incline exercises, otherwise it's too difficult, or maybe I want to do a drop-set of sorts to continue the reps but with less bodyweight. Maybe I wanna do high reps. Then of course some exercises just call for an incline because the muscle is small, like with reverse flies or face pulls that target the rotator cuffs, etc. Yea tricep extensions need some incline for sure. So in Australia where I am, the door frame/skirting is generally very thin, there's not much of a ledge there, so this is a scary product lol. I did get the KT pull up bar, it's insane. Very awesome.
