Hey guys. I got those speed cable jump ropes from Rogue and guess what? I still suck ass at DU's! Yay! I think they just take some committed practice time. I got that 7 foot rope installed. Here are some boring pictures for you to look at. Justin you are hardcore. When it's 30 degrees in my garage the steel of the bar and KB's hurts the hands. I am going to take my buddy Sean's advice and start to warm them up with my plumbing torch. I like that idea!
I used a gate bolt (from a tack store) and a big ass hook big enough for the rope.I drilled a hole in the 2x8" board that supports the pullup bars and screwed that big ol' dude in there. First few ass to top rope climbs I got a big rope hair in my eyeball that I cannot get out. My eye is all red, watery, and burning and driving me nuts. Flushed it under the sink forever and no dice!
Fletcher: The rope is awesome, but I wouldn't trust that gate bolt for shit, that is not at all how that little guy is meant to be loaded! Get yourself a screw-in hook so you can see it bend if it starts to fail, that gate bolt will just fucking break without warning and then that giant 4-ton rated hook with smash you in your head.
ReplyDeleteLove to see that rope!
