What kind of training equipment do you use your Xmounts for?

@ArunGuna 4 года назад

My shoulder width is 50cm. Should I give 10cm extra space for comfort on my calisthenics rings? I'm confused. Can u help?

@TheNinjaLife 4 года назад

@@ArunGuna As a general rule of thumb, you want the spacing to be roughly shoulder width apart. If the stud spacing is smaller than your shoulder width, then you should move to the next stud. it's better to have extra space, rather than not enough. I hope this helps and thanks for watching.

Using the two straps together to hold that rope is putting crazy side loading to both hooks. That angle is enough to be your weight pulling them together at a shear angle.

I have an unused fixture mount for a chandelier on the ceiling. The mount can support a fixture weighing over 200 lbs. I want to install the TRX mount directly to the electrical box, the same way I would mount the light fixture. I am not sure if this seriario is feasible. Has anybody ever tried something like this?

@fatou3583 3 года назад

Is all the weight of the person going to be on the ceiling of the x mount?

@MrDavidFitzgerald 3 года назад

This is sketchy. You used the stud finder to find the joists (not studs, by the way), but you didn't even check whether you were drilling in the centre of the joists. For all you know, you're drilling close the to the edge, which would make this much weaker. Also, just because these mounts can take 750lb does not mean your joists can take that kind of weight at a single point. The recommended way to do this is to attach timber or metal across multiple joists. I would *strongly* recommend that nobody uses a set up like this for anything that involves hanging upside down (e.g. silks) -- it's not worth a permanent injury if you land on your neck. I get that your wife has successfully uses them for ariel stuff, but that doesn't mean it won't fail or that it's safe long term.

@dcassara4892 4 года назад

WHERE DID YOU BUY THE ATTACHMENTS THAT YOU USED? THE RINGS? THE SILKS? THE PRETEND ROCK WALL YOU CLIMBED?

@TheNinjaLife 4 года назад

The rings were a gift I received years ago. But they sell them on Amazon, Search gymnastics rings. The rock wall, was actually a peg board I made from wood, and the silks you mentioned are from "grip slings"

@Goldminks 4 года назад

Can you please help me get a better understanding, what are studs and why do you use a stud finder? i'm very keen on doing this but i have a plaster boarded ceiling want to know if it will actually work

@TheNinjaLife 4 года назад

Studs are basically the frame that's behind the wall/ceiling dry wall. (usually a 2x4) Drywall is very fragile and weak, it will not hold much weight, this is why we drill into the wood behind the drywall, aka "stud" A stud finger will help locate exactly where these studs are behind the drywall. I hope this helps.

@axyshaysi 4 года назад

Thank you great tips. Question; Why didnt you use plastic dowels? Any idea if it will make it stronger or weaker? 🤔

@TheNinjaLife 4 года назад

Are you referring to the pegs for the pegboard at the end?

@axyshaysi 4 года назад

@TheNinjaLife 4 года назад

I'm don't think adding a dowel would make the hold stronger in this case. I'm using lag bolts that go directly into the wooden stud behind the dry wall. I hope this helps

@futbol1972 Год назад

Ok so I wanna hung up 2 punching bags in one location on garage and on other side of garage rings and climbing rope, my ceilings only 8ft high so climbing rope will be use for other exercises. I will be using a 2x4 or maybe 2x6 board across maybe 3 joist for punching bags. I have a strut channel which will be attach to boards 2x4 or 2x6 board. For the rings and rope they will be mounted on a rogue ring hunger which I will attach to a board too. I been using lag bolts to hung up stuff from ceiling, however people have been saying to use GRK RSS14312HP RSS HandyPak 1/4 by 3-1/2-Inch Structural Screws which are easier and stronger than the lag bolts and don't have to predrill?? Will these grk be good to mout weight pegs on wall or lag bolts will be better for this?

@howtodoitdude1662 3 года назад

Do you know the size of the bolts you used? Thickness and length? Thanks!

@TheNinjaLife 3 года назад

Unfortunately I don't have the exact sizing that was provided for this brand. However, there are some other brands that have the same weight capacity of 750 lbs and use 3/8" lag bolts. The length varied for each brand, but ranged from 3" - 4" in length. I hope this helps steer you in the right direction. (I found this information in the description of various x-mount brands off amazon)

Can i use this same set and install it into a 2x4 ceiling stud? I have the same set for my yoga hammock and i am afraid the 2x4 will crack.

@TheNinjaLife 3 года назад

I installed mine into the ceiling which are 2x4s. You just have to ensure you install them as centered and possible. Best bet to be sure it can hold up is to find a blue print of the house and see how the ceiling is constructed. For me, it has been working and holding for the past 4 years. With almost daily use. I hope this helps

@ruffgirl1776 4 года назад

Dude, ahhhh so glad you did this video. My mount has four holes though. Hey did you make that black braided rope. I wanna buy one. What advice would you give for someone using this to rehab after automobile accident. Thanks you totally Rock

@TheNinjaLife 4 года назад

YESSIR! Super happy that you found this useful. As for the four holes, you should be able to mount it the same like I did using two holes. (not sure if that will reduce the weight limit so I'd double check if you're unsure) or you can find a spot to accommodate the four holes. I bought the rope off Amazon years ago. They sell tons. As for rehab, that's really tough to say, I have no idea what your specific needs are. but for me, I use this as a anchor point for bands my PT gave me for my shoulder. I hope this helps🤙

Apartments are tricky. But there is a way to find a stud or in your case a joist in the ceiling. In the description, I have a link to a stud finder that can locate wood or metal behind the wall/ceiling. This way you can figure out where to mount the xmounts.
