TRX has been considered the gold-standard in bodyweight training systems for some time. However, with the introduction of Monkii Bars II there seems to be a new contender with much more versatility.

Obviously Gym Rings are the best for anyone who is serious about training. Especially carabiner type Gym Rings.
Im genuinely curious as to how Gym Rings are better than these Monkii bar type of versions. What are the main differences other than one being a ring and the other being a bar?
Andrew Rubio I'd say the biggest difference is that gymnastic rings have a wider variety of exercises.
@@pipelinegt6480 But how so??? Its just the handle part thats really different. The rope holding the actual Rings Or Bars can essentially be the same, no? Does the shape of the handle really determine the amount of different exercises one can do?
Andrew Rubio Im pretty sure it is just the handle part thats different. I would say doing dips would be easier on rings than trx. Plus rings r way cheaper. Rogue sells rings for like $80 or you could on amazon and buy one for $20-$40.
@@pipelinegt6480 Oh ok. Thanks. And i presume you feel the Monkii bars are on the same category as TRX.
Lol rings cost 30$ and are better
My thoughts exactly
Rings are awesome! I have both... There are things you can do with rings you can't do with suspension trainer... And vice versa...
That being said I got a TRX free from the army... My money was spent on rings... Can't say I would have paid $130 for the TRX system and accecories I was give.
Agreed, and there’s knock off trx straps that do the same job for $40.. I want to like things company, but I feel like they’re trying to reinvent the wheel:..’
The WOSS was the best, veteran own too but TXR sued them to death.
Yep. Now there are dozens of similar products.
I think it's now the 'nossk'--but he did have to get rid of certain buckles he was using. But I remember the original woss and it was a good product. I have the nossk rope trainer, which is good for 30 bucks, uses two prusik knots instead of buckles.
MB2 is better if you travel a lot. However Alex, I must agree in that rings are by far the best except for traveling convience.
I just watched an ad for the Monkii Bars 2. It showed people throwing out their treadmills and weight benches. :) Suspension training is a great addition, but it isn't a replacement for running and weightlifting. The notion that it is, is just fucking stupid.
you are now going to have to review the TRX duo trainer coming out at the end of this month
I just saw those. They look awesome!
been so many suspension trainers with the dual anchors before the duo and trx acting like they just invented the wheel
jrufus11 right now TRX seems to have scared off every competitor except Lifeline and Monkii. There used to be a brand called WOSS that garnered better reviews than TRX for less than half the price, they were sued out of business. I wouldn't be surprised if Monkii is in their sights.
Can't wait to go through TSA carry Monkii bars. Looks like an IED!
You can get gymnatic rings for 10 pound thay say thay are better as well.
6:15 LOL
😂 😂 😂
Price point for Monkii Bars isn't good for the basic package.
I'd say that's subjective. For what you get, I think they're pretty well priced.
Jon Hinds Jungle Gym was the original and is still the best. Especially if you factor in price.
I like the trx Tactical but I think rings are a slightly better. I like it all
Monkii bars look to flimsy and not usable in commercial environment. Good for portability, but for added strength I would use the TRX Duo.
The TRX Duo are pretty sweet!
They're beauties, but I have a high quality suspension trainer made by Northern Lights that cost $60 Canadian and they are every bit as good. The price of the Monkii Bars 2 is ridiculous.
They are expensive, but I personally have really enjoyed the additional portability and the good looks. To each their own though!
There should be no debate regarding suspension training; there is a clear and simple answer: Gym Rings.
Better that TRX in every single aspect and every movement - better for push-ups, better for pull-ups, dips, hip thrusts, and anything else.
Even better are carabiner style Gym Rings.
Gold standard? Gym Rings for millennia.
at first glance i thought the bars were Samurai swords and was so confused and curious about this dude
should i get rings or one of these???
It depends what your goals are. If you want the portability, I would go with the Monkii Bars, if not, then go with rings.
@@GarageGymReviews So portability are the only benefits? Well then why would someone want to get rings if they can just get the more portable option. Unless there is something else im not seeing
@@the_luminary rings are much more superior to both of these systems.
Rings are far better than anything. Watching trainingpal. Has a video comparing rings to these systems. Portability wise rings take up more space but mine pack down into a backpack which goes into a backpack. I always carry a backpack. I always have them on me.
@@jussa101 See but HOW are they inherently superior though??? It's essentially the shap of the handle. Also, I believe I watched that video and He was surprised how similar it were to rings. Only that it was a bit awkward for him to do muscle ups.
@@the_luminary
Cost. Rings are significantly cheap. Symmetry of the handles I've been able to do a variety of workouts with just one ring. Inherent stability. Hold the support position on rings you'll notice the ring itself offers some stability. Try on a trx or this doesn't work as well. Too much instability can be downside as well. The way rings feel in your hand. Try a false grip on rings vs these systems they fit way better in your hand. Wood vs aluminum+plastics. See what feels better and is more forgiving on your hands.
i still think the monki bars are wayyyy overpriced
So is the TRX.... rings are cheaper and are just as effective.
TRX and monki are way over priced
2x5m buckled straps = £3.88
2x handle bars on eBay = £5
Magic😂, rings are better btw
Absolutely. Plastic or wooden. Which one would you prefer ?
@@Fahad-369 wooden 28mm it's olimpic size. Wood has a better grip than rubber. Check amazon around £30 u can buy good stuff
@@adab4216 I know F.I.G wooden ones, and the straps?
@@Fahad-369 it's up to you. Check gravity fitness rings on amazon with straps. If you want to buy separately bear in mind width of the straps I recommend 25mm. Bought 40 mm before but was to big and heavy and take a lot of room in training bag mate
What about legs
there are videos of leg exercises, typically split leg lunges, and some where you lie on your back that are 'bridge' like. But true that you're not going to do pure quad and ham isolation with these.
Expensive equipments that you can easily make for a cheap price.
This sucks and a ripoff lol...
Brilliant! You defiantly sold me on these, I've never owned TRX just because I didn't see the point. I own a pair of rings and while you can travel with them they do not travel as nicely as these bad boys. Talk about stepping up the game from the last review you did. Thanks again for the review.
Great to hear, they truly are a great piece of equipment for traveling!
CoopTrains I wanted to ask you if you know anything about Spin Lock Barbells? I recently acquired one and can't seem to find anything on them.
Yes, they don't hold a lot of weight so be careful using them. I would suggest getting a traditional Olympic Barbell. Here's a guide I did on them: www.garagegymreviews.com/best-olympic-barbell/
CoopTrains awesome thank you Coop your my go to for all things Garage Gym because of your insight.
Happy to help!
the TRX is no where near being the best . TRX system was basically stolen from the developer of the monkii bar products.
Yeah, it lacks a lot of features.
trx is about 10 yrs old monkii bars debut 2014
reg profant ummm.... No. Lol. Just factually wrong.
TRX was developed in the 1990s... Monkii is a recent innovation. Get your facts straight.
I'm sooo glad I heard about this
Good!
I know this is an older video but it would be awesome if you could compare the monkii bars 2 and the trx duo which isn’t limited to one anchor point anymore
That's a good idea for a future video!
CoopTrains thanks for the reply man. Awesome channel I just ordered a duo on amazon can’t beat 69.99
Tried the trx but I have always preferred my ethos
My MB2 BROKE!!! After 8months, it broke, the left strap broke while I was doing sides arm curls, I'm about 230lbs, was doing the Gabor park workout in the app, when it snapped, only sprained my shoulder fortunately, I'm going with TRX!!!
Have you contacted them about it breaking? If so, did they give the money back or at least look into what caused the break, or not? Given they are supposed to have a lifetime warrenty (monkii Pact), they should at least replace it.
