That's why I spent a few dozen hours sorting them by cost in order to find the cheapest courses. You can find my results in the table below (I made it for ACE because that's who I'm certified with, but most courses apply to other organizations as well):

This is basically a poor man's versaspot dumbbell holder. Works pretty well. Only problem is you need to start in the bottom position for bench press, overhead press, etc.

The ZEBRA PJ's are the best part. Yes Sir!
Such a gentlemen to thank the camera person!
I'm a gentleman who knows what's best for himself ;)
Rob! Wow. You solved a problem I've been trying to figure out for several years. Thank you. I was actually able to rig it up without Endless Loops. Because there are so many length options on my hammock straps (they're similar to yours), I got it done with two straps and only two carabiners. I looped the ends of each strap around my dumbbells and then selected the right height with a carabiner. I have Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells so I can't throw them on the floor ;)
Can you show a picture of your setup? I'm considering setting up without the endless loops too.
Bro...your a genius and a back saver. I threw my back out more than once while getting into position for heavy dumbbell presses (father time is catching up to me). Theres really not much out on the market if your looking for dumbbell spotters but I came across your video. Got this setup the other day and now I can finally press heavy again. Kudos to you sir.
This is genius! I've been looking for somebody to figure out a way to do this for over a decade!
Brilliant thank you for sharing. I've now been using this technique for a few weeks for heavy dumbbell shoulder press and incline dumbbell bench press. I had previously had a couple of injuries tearing parts of my shoulder and elbow issues off getting dumbbells into position. This is a game changer for me, thank you so much. Modded the method slightly adding carabiners to the straps and the hammock strap to make it easier to get the dumbbells into start position. Click carabiners together and good to go.
Great to hear!! And thanks for the carabineers tip!
Can you show a picture? I’m trying to make a set up like this too so I can safely lift heavy alone.
This is a brilliant idea, thanks!
Hey, thanks. That's so smart. I was looking into making dumbbell holders just now for my bench press. I wanted to just make 4 shelves on the wall that would do the trick, but this solution seems even better.
Great idea! You could try pairing this with some power hooks to start at the top of the lift
This is awesome. I will try it this weekend!
PURE GENIUS!!! Thank you!!!
Not a bad idea my guy. Thanks for sharing
I love those hacks thanks for the tips
That’s a great idea!! Thanks
Great Idea.
Just saw this today. Nice.. ive been doing this 'system' for years and years. Easier to train alone
great idea
Could you do many of the same exercises as you do with the barbell but with one arm only? I can imagine much more twisting and more athletic moves.
Good way to do it on the cheap. I would wonder about total weight limits though, especially after excessive use & weight...Great share, though ! Nice idea...
ive had lifting eyes welded to the inside collars of dumbells . you can add bands to the dumbells and also a rolling one arm floor press where you can use alot more weight
That sounds awesome, man
Can you use them as a henny attachment for a barbell attached to the top like that too??
Get to shark tank quick, I have always wondered why this hasn't been put on the market. Great Idea I have seen other versions though. Such a pain in the ass to swing the dumbbells into position.
Thanks for the feedback! There are some great products (spot grips and versaspot to name a couple) out there already that do this--I'm just trying to do it on the cheap with equipment I already have. Thanks again!
Not everything has to be a capitalist venture.
Actually another added bonus (maybe)
Would be to attach those dumbbell hooks that go around the handle
That hook over a say over an Olympic bar so that you can actually start the movement at arm’s length
And able to let hang using the straps in safety upon failing to re -hook.
Awesome idea!
This is a really wonderful idea that I will definitely steal. Thanks!
Please provide a link for the "infinity straps" that you are using.
Steal away!
Here's a link (I'm pretty sure this is the same product...never bought them individually...they came with other stuff I've ordered from them): www.spud-inc-straps.com/endless-loop.html
Sweet!! Thanx alot. Just saved me some money
Nice
how long are they, can it be used for bench press hanging from top of the rack of would it be to short?
Where do you get those nylon loop straps that fasten to the dumbell?
Nice idea, how big of a dumbbell will those infinity straps allow you to use.
That's the $64k question. I did then with 75 after shooting this. With this method, if you get up much past that, you're probably gonna have problems getting it around the DB (and back off again).
That said, I have some potential workarounds in mind for a version 2.
No infinity loops to be had that look anything like what you have there. The link you gave has very long elastic bands. Any other ideas?
I’m so distracted by these pants! Lol!
Can you use ring straps?
genius
Hello…wondering if you found if the loops fit on larger dumbbells (100lbs +), or found a different way or product that would? Thanks
Just wrote this in the comment above:
Yes, I did. The solution I'd stupid simple...bigger loops :). I just shot a video this week where I revisit it with bigger loops and quick lock dbs. Editing now. Stay tuned 😉

I bought plans from woodprix and I made it very fast.
Awesome
@@ThreeStormFitness Glad you like it ! All the best to you my friend ❤️
where do i find the tie down straps. the only ones i'm seeing are stitched in the middle.
Sorry I didn't mention that! These are Spud Endless Loops: www.spud-inc-straps.com/endless-loop.html
I have a cheaper set of them in my gym, but honestly, I have no clue where they came from. I wouldn't be surpised if a craft store sold something like that.
Genius u can do the same thing with squats and bench press overhead and more
Thank you! And yes, you can
Can you demonstrate a bench press with this setup?

Did you ever get the infinity loops to fit on larger dumbbells? i have power blocks so I'm worried it wont fit on any weight lol
Yes, I did. The solution I'd stupid simple...bigger loops :). I just shot a video this week where I revisit it with bigger loops and quick lock dbs. Editing now. Stay tuned 😉
I have powerblocks too…and wondering how to rig this up. Is the new video out yet?? 🙏🏼💟
@@joycelinelu he covers it in his latest video "7 Machine Chest Press Alternatives" at 18:40. not exactly about powerblocks but you can take the principles from that video and make it work on powerblocks
Good idea more economical compared to the 300.00 dollar applications
Thanks ocean! You can always count on me to find the cheapskate alternative :)
Great video - I grabbed hammock straps and tie down loop straps for a grand total of £13 amazon - found it tricky getting dumbbells up into position so have upgraded the solution a little by adding 4 x carabiner clips ..put two in place on the hammock strap at the required height. Loop the tie down straps around the dumbbell and attach other carabiner. To get in place just lift dumbbell and click carabiners together quickly ..job done. I use spin lock dumbbells so have the straps attached between plates so very secure and doesn’t get in the way of grip on the dumbbells.
Where did you get the infinity loops?
Pretty sure this is the one:

Thx.
SPOT GRIPS! You were trying to remember SPOT GRIPS - ruclips.net/video/3jpBATPIBOw/видео.html
Ah yes!
Do you think this would work with powerblocks?
These work with power blocks
ruclips.net/video/VLEYMuiqOvA/видео.html
as long as you don't let it swing and smack you in the face
That's called "the home alone paint pail press"
The if you can't get it into place argument is stupid. When you barbell bench or do squats you don't lift the weight from the floor. Why are dumbbells any different? Why risk getting hurt trying to get dumbbells into place?
Who cares about the straps, where can I get a pair of those pants my man?
Got these pants off of a dead man....technically out of his closet. They give me his strength when I wear them...unfortunately he was in his 80s, so it's only a small boost. Still nice to have though...and they look sharp!
@@ThreeStormFitness Hahaha! He died attempting a 1000lb deadlift. His strength be in you.
