@@danielgauthier2072 I tend to try to stay away from knock-offs when possible or companies that don't have the same track record. That being said sometimes a deal is too good (like some of my Titan stuff)
@@GlucksGym Yeah I hear you - definitely taking a chance even with simple products. That said, Titan and Rep do not have spotless track records. This year alone Rep has had recalls on safety straps and failing j-cups. IMO a bad track record is worse than no track record because it shows a pattern of cutting corners.
One thing to keep in mind about the thickness of the rings - all gymnasts use gloves when using the 1.1” rings, which thicken their grip. I think for most people 1.25” is the way to go (unless you plan to wear gloves or have very small hands, then go with 1.1”)
@@weenerdawg3972 just go to home depot, find similar diameter pole or pipe as the rings and try gripping those. See wich one is more comfortable. Generally, thicker diameter rings will be more comfortable as they won't dig as much into your palms or fingers.
Always put athletic tape on mine, doesn’t matter how much you sweat and it’s replaceable year after year. I’ve been preaching rings + barbell workouts for almost 2 decades. My only regret is I wish I would’ve started with rings instead of powerlifting through my late teens and 20’s. Currently at 37 I’m working on the strict ring muscle up world record🤟
I once saw in Jonni Shreeve's channel, a bodybuilder, some uses "out of the box" to the rings, like doing rows, and in some machines to change the wrist position, and now I'm convinced I'll need one of them!
My next set I will get the carabiner style, looks easier to adjust. I don’t like leaving them on my rack because they get in the way. Rings are very good for shoulder health and mobility! 💯
Beware that some of the the carabiner style have set screws to lock the carabiners closed which I lost one almost immediately. They are very tedious to adjust compared to the cam style. These are not climbing rated carabiners and would loose the full rating (not sure how much) if not installed. A climbing carabiner creates a full locked loop and would be much stronger. It’s too late to return mine so I plan to replace carabiners with stronger body weight rated. Leaving the locking screws out could result in serious injury.
I already have rings but your comedy is what makes me watch it all the way through 🤣like the red strap smacking your wrist with the “hmmm”. Subtle but hilarious 👌🏽😁
How is that brand? Is the spacing even and quality good? A few reviews on Amazon said that the spacing is off an that the rings were rough... but the majority of reviews were ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
@@anunnakimenagerie spacing on mine are a bit off, it’s noticeable enough when doing excersizes. If I were you I would just get a cam buckle style ring set way more use out of those.
You can use medical tape or hockey tape to insure a solid grip on plastic rings. For some reason I don't feel confident with wood rings, especially the thin diameter.
I tried a few brands, pretty much all needed some light sanding. Just order some 500grit with em. Just added my own biners. They are good to keep around, and I don't trust random chinesium ones.
Wood will patina and age with the oils in your skin making them better as time goes on. Rogue with cam is $75. Ill spend a little more to avoid Titan products as Ive had many issues with their stuff.
As have I but the wood on the Titan rings is my favorite of the ones in this video. I like REP's and Double Circle's straps. You also have to add shipping into Rogue which brings them up nearly $100. Love Rogue but that cost is prohibitive for many watching this video.
I have the double cercle with Caribbean for 3years now , best choice very ezy to set up but they are only good if the frame to suspend them is small for a tall one they are too short .
You’re so right Gluck, the only thing your picking up with that beautiful 225 feet up bench press is dudes. Side note, what’re you up to this Friday night ?

Great video, I am trying to instal rings on a 9ft garage ceiling. I want rings to get pretty close to the ground so I can do chest movements. I would prefer caribiner style, what would you recommend? Great video again !
I'd have to look. I can't think of a longer one off the top of my head but there are a lot of companies that... Erm... Make very similar items if you know what I mean.
Am I the only one with set screw carabiners (Amazon)? They are garbage and I lost one of the screws immediately. Not quick to adjust either. I plan to replace with climbing rated carabiners.
I have the double circle straps but I'm thinking of getting the traditional style straps. The DC straps are thicker/bulkier and shorter so since you have used all of those is there any difference in stability between the carabinier type and the normal buckles? Is it a minor difference and nothing major?
If they're outside just bring them in when you're not using them. Otherwise just hang them up they'll last a really long time without much done to them.
I have the exact same problem in my home gym. The ladies there just aren't into me, bro. And I have been married to her 22 years. I'm waiting for your video on how to pick up chicks in a home gym. #justsayin

How do you feel about the Titan Fitness Rings? I have been looking for a good pair of rings in straps for about two weeks now. I see you have them on your table and looked them up for myself, and I like what I see. I just wanted to ask your personal opinion and experience with this brand.
They're really good and actually out of the five I have in this video there's were the smoothest but honestly I used to wrap one's mostly because they are labeled
What’s up Gluck! I want to get some rings, but I am torn between wood and plastic. I plan to leave them exclusively in my garage gym in humid west TN. Do you think a wooden pair would last long term in that humidity? Thanks for any insight man!
I've got Rep's dip attachment, Mutant Metals, and yes I also use my rings. I think you can see Mutant in a few vids... I even joke about having the world's most expensive dip attachment in the Building a Home Gym From Nothing video (it's probably in the background)
There's no velcro on the Double Circle. If you're using both carabiners you wouldn't have extra. If you're using one you'd have excess. I'll be honest 75% of the time in my home gym the excess on my rings doesn't bother me and I let it hang though the carabiner and thickness of the Double Circle straps is much more than the Reps for example so I don't ever let that one hang.
I think UA-cam automatically deletes comments with links so people can't spam things but I did look up the Trings. Interesting idea and seems like a cool company. I'll have to check them out!
Probably any cam buckle style syrap ring. You don't need labels on the strap at that point so I'd just go with Titan's though someone like Rep's with the numbers are nice on the straps they're probably not helpful on an uneven surface.
