TRX training loops are today a fairly popular sports equipment, winning more and more fans. They are indispensable for metabolic training, turning even the simplest push-ups into a complex combination. In addition, quite compact. There is only one thing - the high cost of production. However, it is entirely possible to make a shell yourself.
Materials and tools:
1. The carbine.
2. A tape of 30 mm, which can be purchased at any hardware store.
3. Slings of 2 pieces for securing cargo to the machine 2.5 and 5 m. They must be equipped with a cam self-locking stop.
4. Pipe for electrical wiring 2 m.
5. Threads.
6. Scissors.
7. Lighter.
8. Sewing machine.
9. Dremel for cutting pipes or a hacksaw.
10. It is recommended to protect the eyes with glasses during operation, since when processing ends previously sealed with fire using a sewing machine, the needles break very often.
Operating procedure:
First of all, two pieces of 15.5 cm are sawed from the pipe. You can choose other parameters - it is important to focus on the size of the fist. After that, a piece is cut from a black ribbon of 2.40 m, folded in half and laid out to create the main loop. All markups can be done with soap.
Now all measured pieces of the main loop are neatly overlapped. Next - sew. First, one edge is processed in a zigzag, then with a straight line from the sewn side along the sling to the opposite edge, stitching two ribbons together. Then the second edge is sheathed with a zigzag - that will not be errors in millimeters. Stitching the loop is important, so you can walk the needle back and forth. Thanks to this, the shape of the loop will be stiff.
The resulting loop is folded in half and sewn up at the base. It is recommended to avoid the already stitched part, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the needle. If the sticking ends of the threads are annoying, you can always get rid of them using the most ordinary lighter.
It's time to do intermediate loops. On the inside of the tape, segments of 6 cm are marked and are slightly adjusted to 5 mm, shifting the second half of the loop from above.
To determine the location of the carabiner, the residual principle is used.
Now it's time to make loops for hands and feet. To do this, spring locks are cut from the slings.
Then pieces of black ribbon of 115 cm in quantity of 2 pieces are cut.
It's time to assemble the next design.
Clips are attached to the black slings and stitched.Next, the second part is sewn, resulting in a kind of loop with a tube.
Hand loops are ready, it remains to make a similar design for the legs. The sizes of the loops depend on individual parameters, but on average 70 centimeters will be enough. It will take two pieces.
Separate loops are useful for the heel. All this must be sharpened for strength.
Now a piece of sling is taken, approximately 2.5 meters long, wound into the main loop, and the ends into the clamps. Edges are machined.
It is not difficult to make fasteners for the ends - paper clips or an ordinary elastic band that sews into a ring are perfect. If you choose an elastic band, then two or three pieces will be quite enough. Pins will work too.
There is a small trick - so that the handles do not slip, they can be wrapped with electrical tape.
A convenient and useful simulator is ready! The total cost of such a self-made fixtures will be much more profitable than the purchase, and the results from training - no worse.
