Must the ropes be hung using a door not wrapped around a bar to allow for true suspension? TRX seems expensive at least you can actually suspend.

I'm not sure how you would attach the straps to a bar. The straps work well when using a sturdy door . . . plus the straps are configured so you can set them at different settings depending on the stretches you wish to do.

You can probably rig it to a bar, you'd just have to find something strong enough to hold the straps to the bar with your weight against them. It would probably be cheaper to buy generic gravity straps that are meant for a bar.

The ropes need to be draped over the door, with the part with the "Knobs" for lack of a better term, hanging inside the door.The door must be closed obviously in order for it to work. The only set back is there is no way to use them on a free standing pole or in celing mount like in traditional TRX.

Yes. You are supposed to hang a hammock such that the ropes make a 30 degree angle to the ground. This reduces the load on the ropes/straps. Lesser angles can put more weight on the ropes/straps than the total weight of the occupants in the hammock. I recommend a book called "The Ultimate Hang" for about $3 on kindle. I've seen people break 500lb straps using them incorrectly...

I weigh 195 pounds and it supports me easily. The mount is very sturdy and the welds very strong. I would surmise that assuming a punching bag weighs less than 200 pounds it should be no problem. Be sure to find a stud in your ceiling if you are mounting the TRX to a ceiling. By the way the TRX workout and video instruction is fantastic, although the workout is tough, the instruction allows you to work your way up the ladder of difficulty in stages. Good luck.

There is a "soft mount" and the recommended "hard mount". So basically it's like a tension rod that you keep twisting in the door frame until there is enough tension to hold the bar. That's the soft mount. The hard mount you screw in to the door way.

The elite has 2 cam buckles to adjust the strap length for the different exercises, similar to a TRX band. The equalizer's straps are also adjustable but will move slightly if your weight is not distributed evenly. But it really isn't any big problem. I'm not even sure the elite was an option when I bought mine. I'm not sure how well hollow doors will work to support your weight pulling against the door. The over the door feature works well with a solid door, or wrapped around a tree limb. I do like the WOSS, the price is good, the quality is good, works just as well as the TRX bands without the big price tag. I hope this helps you to decide.

No you must use other means to secure it. Caribiner. Bungees to wrap It around something to secure it if bumpy.

That's what I thought. So I bought some cheaper copycat straps... I strap them around the beam in my basement...the buckles slipped and couldn't hold all of my 177lbs. Trust me when I say....you get what you pay for....just sayin. I was just downstairs using my TRX Suspension straps & thought to myself...this is my best investment yet. Get a full workout in half the time.Hope this helps...Cheers

I think so, but I'm not using mine now. I think that worst case scenario would be that you might need to sit on a stool or tie on an extension to the rope. No big deal in my opinion.

Bike is Suspended by Nylon Rope to the ceiling. I believe if anyone really wanted Your Bike bad enough, this Hanging /Storage System would NOT prevent them from doing that? You could However remove a wheel and keep it inside or pad Lock Wheel before raising it up! Cheers! Curt &gt;~iii~&lt;( sure freed up a lot of room in My Garage!

I haven't actually installed it yet, but the rods are on ropes and they appear as designed, to be long enough to drop that far. But, you could also just get longer ropes. I saw the system installed in a home in Scotland and it was wonderful.

No, not at all. I just thought the swing hangers to be sturdier that using eye bolts. Springs are just a comfort factor, for when you 1st sit down it has a liitle give.

I have seen people do that before. I think you just need to be ABSOLUTELY sure about the strength of whatever you're anchoring it to. It doesn't take up a lot of space so other than hanging/safety techniques it's a cinch. I hope that sufficiently answers your question.

Go to omgym.com there's a tutorial video and drawings on different ways you can hang it, I have mine on the ropes hanging from a rafter

There typically is not a weight limit to these strapz, they are made to be strong and durable and could most likely pull a car. A well constructed door way can also withstand a substantial amount of weight. I am a trainer as well and for safety reasons I suggests if you are over 350LBS to wait until you have lost some body fat before using the product. Under 350Lbs you may still use the bands but to have limited use of the power strapz. If your trainer is certified in TRX suspension training then he can show you a variety of exercises that can be done safely with little force on the bands. Note: I am not an expert in the way the power strapz are made but that is my honest opinion.

I'm sure you can MacGyver it to attach it to an overhead bar. The belt is really strong. But you don't really need to as long as you close the door on it, making it catch at the next "bump". Hope that helps.

The trx is very versatile when dealing with height, I would think if you are using a ceiling mount you would have no trouble getting the right height for your trx, but to be safe make sure you have the extension strap. This is a great piece of equipment bought mine while in Afghanistan and it has done wonders.

Not that I know of, but I dont know why you would need to. There is plenty of tension as the bars are kind of springy. I love this net - it's very large!
