I made a DIY trainer using cam straps, PVC, & paranoid for foot loops as well as cargo tie down anchors & lag screws for mounting to floor joists. I hope you have a video onnthe Bowline as I was considering making something similar for an even smaller & lighter trainer for traveling or as you said throwing in a pocket or such for training outside! I don't leave my wooden rings outside so a cheap PVC & straps/rope are perfect for hanging from a tree & using for me & my kids to train & play w outside!

I love the rings for push and pull movements, monkii bars for everything else. Can’t beat a rotating handle for everything else.

The biggest mistake in getting fit is listening to VShred. Whyyy does he appear before people with actual information? 😢

[kallebuchholz]

I’ve both and use them for different exercises but my TRX is definitely my companion on every trip.

Can you do a review on Angles 90 training grips please?

I started training on rings about a year ago. I absolutely love them!
Great for building shoulder stability and they force you to use your scapula properly. Great for building your biceps and forearms. You can learn the false grip on rings which is imperative for getting a muscle up. Finally I think rings are much safer than a fixed bar because they allow you to move in all planes of motion. Oh and I almost forgot, I traveled around Europe for two months with my rings and was able to use them everywhere! Very portable.
I got mine at Rep Fitness for $39. Each strap is numbered making it really easy to set them up evenly. If you want to develop more strength and see huge gains in your calisthenics, buy yourself some rings!

Hey Matt, I bought a ring long time ago and love it. I would like to convert to a suspension trainer (handles). I see a few products online but not sure which one is good. Do you have a recommendation for those suspension handles with carabine?

[garryraine]

Personal preference is the key. I don't got to park or train away from home and if I occasionally do train away from home I just go basic body weight training. I've got a set of rings permanently setup, I've got a bag of resistance bands. I've even got a Fortress Power Tower (which is pretty good, I must say), Swiss balls etc. But rings are my jam at my age and circumstance. So, what do you like? Go with that! Great video as always Matt. PS I'm 60 years old, so I just do what I want as I feel it and not stress the rest!

Hi Matt, great video quality as always. Will you be reviewing the T2 Iso-Trainer anytime soon? I got an early bird special on mine and am excited for it to arrive.

Buy both, and you're set

While rings may add slightly more stability demands due to not being straight handle, they seem (to me) more sturdier and stronger than plastic handles in suspension syraps

I have both but like my NOSSK straps best but both are great.

I'm glad you made this video. I was wondering about your thoughts on the rings but it was never really important in comparison to other questions I had, so I always forgot to simply ask. Also, since many folks will be buying into s. trainers for the temp sessions away from the gym, they would be best served by the info in this video. Personally, since I've been working with your DIY Prussik trainer 2.0, I've never bothered moving away from it. Though, I am thinking of upgrading to the cam trainer and building one for my mom to send to her, since she is finally getting back into fitness again. As for costs, when one thinks about the up front cost, it really depends on a few variables: do they like DIY, do they expect to use these only a few times, do they expect these could be a great addition to their gym routine, and finally, how much would each month at the gym cost in comparison to a complete, portable gym like either of these options?

Hi! I first saw about your video on reddit bwf about hamstring curls and subscribed and watched some of your videos!


I bought a cheap suspension trainer and it comes with the attachment so it can be used with a closed door inside the house which made my setup easier and cheaper than buying rings (rings are less popular, hard to find and more expensive in my country). Since we are all stuck home because of coronavirus, I like that I can finally do rows, upper back exercises, hamstring curls with my suspension trainer!


I would appreciate more suspension trainer content!

[Greg_Chock]

Both! DIY suspension trainers can be very cost effective.

[benben]

I do leg curls with my rings it works perfectly!

[HeilmasseurMarcello]

Matt can you make a series of videos with the FOCUS of fixing body posture??!

Many people are away from there desk job or working a lot less so it's the perfect time to fix posture imbalances!

[blackbird]

I have the Monkii Bars 2. I mainly bought them for rows but my current living situation has me using them for pull-ups and chin-ups because the ceiling is too low to use the bar (my head hits the ceiling). I don’t really enjoy using anything other than a solid bar for vertical pulling but it gets the job done for now.

[FeldyMohrisar]

Gymnastics rings always superior!

You can use it at beginner until elite level.

[kimberly]

I use my rings for hamstring curls, no problem. And rings are best because all the amazing gymnasts use them so even though I can't do much, they inspire me of what my potential could be so I'm more likely to want to use them. :-)
