Rip 60 I believe is about suspension training...http://www.amazon.com/Rip-Fitness-DV...9930723&sr=8-1
I have the GoFit Gravity Bar and really like it; don't use it nearly as much as I'd like to because I'm currently doing STS, but I highly recommend suspension training. It's great because that's all the equipment you need (except maybe a pullup bar)! |

Thanks, I just ordered I.M. Rings for $78
I think these are new.
http://www.groupon.com/deals/g1gd-im...stem-cleveland I was going to order the Freestyle Trainer for $50 http://www.ringtraining.com/shop/freestyle-trainer.html because I wasn't going to pay $150 for the Human Trainer which was what I really wanted. I didn't know about the gravity bar but I have a pull up bar to use until my gym is completed. You want to be able to put the straps as wide as your arms stretched out for some exercises. But I even have gotten a great workout with my GFlex in my door! I hope suspension trainers keep getting more popular so we have more choices and people will make workout DVDs just for the suspension trainers. There is also the war machine http://www.crosscore-usa.com/ which looks totally cool, but for $20, the GFlex suits me just fine and there is Hang Tuff http://www.agelesstrength.com/hang-tuff-trainer.html I think I can do that with the GFlex cardio belt and my I.M. Rings. There are just so many neat and creative ideas out there! |

Ceiling Mounts
If you buy the ceiling mounts from one of the suspension companies it would probably cost you around $35. I saw this on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/WOSS-Gear-Anch...9961560&sr=8-5 It is for only one mount I think.
I would go to your local home improvement store and ask about suspending your suspension straps form the ceiling. Can you just put them anywhere in the ceiling? When we hang pictures on the wall, we have to find studs. And pictures weigh nothing. So I do not know about that. In my new gym, my husband is going to hang a chain that is going to go through a long bar and back up at the ceiling again. So it will swing a little. Oh well. I know that if you look for Human Trainer videos on youtube you will see the guy using a ceiling mount system that has two mounts. I know that people will have hooks in their rafters that are in the ceiling of their basement and they move the suspension straps around. Rosstraining.com explains a lot about the one strap system and two strap system. Or you could just get a great workout with one ceiling mount and buy the TRX or War Machine. I hope I help you. |

I use my heavy bag stand to hang my Rip60 from. I also bought a pair of Gymnastic Rings to use instead of the Rip60 handles.
I've had it for a year as well and enjoy using it. I am just about to start a month rotation using Rip60 as my strength workouts...

I also like the Rip:60 workouts. I bought them from a Ya-Ya. I can do the rotating moves since I have a Jungle Gym. But I can easily do something else and there are usually only two of those type of exercises per workout.
