I made my handles by cutting 6 inch strips from broken composite hockey sticks – even better if the sticks have the grip finish. The sticks are hollow so they are perfect to slot the webbing through.

Just for everyone to know, I =sell straps that are similar to these but superior in my opinion for way cheaper than TRX or any of the other brands. Around the DIY price for a real nice pair. Plus you can customize the color of the straps and the handles. The handles are super thick and strong great for grappling, wrestling, mma, boxing, and all around forearm strength. Just Ebay KazTraps Suspension Trainer, they are durable, effective, and affordable. It would only take a sec and I greatly appreciate it! KaZtraps Suspension Trainer.

it’s actually crazy stupid to see a non-elastic band like TRX be sold for $150 and up since it are only body weight workouts..

I will create this set-up myself and try it out.. unfortunatly I have to
work only with a door anchor because my ceiling is not strong enough.. or I would have to locate the beams..

Thanks for your vid.

Thank you Ross! I just made one of these for about $20 using the $4 2-packs of straps from Harbor Freight. We used 1/2″ PVC for the handles and then put gray foam hot water pipe insulation on them. I may make a second one – all I need is another pair of straps and carabiner, which together will run about $10. I like the idea of using a door frame pullup bar for a hanger!

My buddy bought the trx system and showed me when we were on a business trip out of state. He hooked it up to the door and I tried a couple of movements and liked it. He paid around $200 and I thought that was outrageous. I come home and do some research and find this video. 20 bucks later exactly like the TRX. Google trx workout PDFs and you will find the exercises. Sometimes I feal sorry for people, it’s like they are buying the “fix”. If you are a lifelong fitness type of person, there is no fix, just a refreshing different way to work out for a while. Thank you for the video.

Great stuff. You know this of course cause folks are raving over what you’ve done and your presentation. Bravo.

Now, I’d like to know if you’ve anything in your magic hat regarding suspension training s-frame?

I’m stuck here in Singapore for the next year and need to make a multiple suspension Rack of sorts so I can have up to 5-members at one time on the contraption. TRX is great and all but, it’d cost me a fortune to order their s-frame and ship it over here.

Got any links, construction plans, visuals, schematics that might work for me?
