Make your own suspension trainer! (video)

Ross Enamait posted a video on how to make your own TRX knockoff for much less cost, and with two hangers instead of just one.

The embedded video won't show up on my netbook for some reason, so here's a direct link.

I tried to make a DIY TRX suspension trainer back in 2009. I bought 2 of these straps from amazon.com:

In the end, I bought a TRX suspension trainer direct from the company. It's more lightweight, easier to transport, doesn't scratch standard doorways, and I felt safer using it. I picked safety and convenience over cost. Nowadays, many companies offer similar products. Lifeline's Jungle Gym XT looks like a good option.

My 2 ratchet tie downs didn't go to waste. If I want to hang from the ceiling, I can....but it's primary use it to secure cargo.
