How to make TRX, Blast Straps or Rings
GIVEAWAY: www.synergy-athletics.com MANUAL: www.bullstrength.com This article will teach and show you how to make incredibly effective training equipment for a fraction of the cost. Three styles of homemade straps * Sewn * Sewn w/ clip * Grommets 1. Sewn Straps are my favorite, easiest to use, and most durable. Equipment Needed: Approx 20 feet of nylon webbing, sewing machine, 1 ft of pvc (your choice of thickness for the handle), 1 carabiner. Procedure: Cut the nylon webbing in half. Make a small loop at one end for the carabiner – sew it tightly. Slide the PVC pipe on the other end and sew that on. Done. Total Cost: Note: A home sewing machine worked fine for us. If you don’t have one, look up any seamstress shop in the phone book and they will usually do it for a few dollars. 2. Sewn with clip – I purchased these for around …duh, I could have made them for about . Equipment Needed: Approx 30 feet of nylon webbing (it gets doubled up), buckle clip (.59 from strapworks.com), sewing machine. Procedure: Sew the clip on one end. If you are using a pvc handle slide the nylon strapping through it and then buckle. If you purchase a ring then just put the strap through the ring and buckle. Total Cost: 3. Grommets are my secret weapon and you can make any strap with these, including the TRX style strap. Simply make the single point hook if you want. Also if you want the extra strap below the handle like on the TRX, just make one with grommets. Equipment Needed …

J.. how did you secure the handles/loop on the seat belt version.. did you sew those as well???? thanks
You really are a credit to your industry. Thanks for not being part of the 99% who sell a bunch of junk
great i also gonna buy two rings.
Good suggestion, I agree! TRX is a great tool if you land a deal.
good idea .
I own the blast straps, I waited for a good deal.
If you are gonna make your own….one suggestion…..don’t get them sewed on a regular consumer sewing machine…
go to somewhere that can industrially….sew them.
you’ll feel more secure
the trx is more portable, weighs less and is designed for lower body work(atomic pushups,etc) but I like the durability of the blast straps
good suggestion – I didn’t know what exactly to call it – only heard it as brand names and not a broad title. Thanks!
Not everyone knows what the trx is, i hadn’t heard of it for a long time until my brother bought one, but i had heard about suspension trainer’s. Perhaps more people would view this if they realized that the trx is just that. It’s my favourite home workout decive, but may i suggest you put how to make a suspension trainer in the name so more people will realized what the video is. By the way your bulgarian bag tutorial was very helpful, i followed how to make it step by step and i had 0 issues
