The Double Circle gymnastic rings and straps genius design solves a common problem seen with cam buckle ring straps.
1. Removes all the guesswork out of making sure both rings are even heights
2. Remove excess straps from getting in the way while you workout.
=====
Double Circle Gymnastic Rings
=====
The rings are made of quality wood and are 1.25" in thickness.
You want to use wood instead of plastic so that you have a better grip
=====
Double Circle Gymnastic Ring Straps
=====
The gymnastic ring straps are 15 feet long and 1.5" wide, with metal carabiners are each end.
They have reinforced numbered slots throughout their length.
This system makes it easy so that you can just insert the carabiners at identical slots on both straps.
Both rings will always be even and you never have to guess anything.
Because both ends on the strap connect to the strap itself, you'll never have excess straps hanging.

Eyeballing, aka putting the rings side by side and see if they match. Using your hands make this really simple (after some time you can get them level just by feeling on how much strap you need and how much you adjusted, minimum adjustment afterwards). You can always have "buckle" rings with measurements in the straps as well. These new ones wouldn't work great outside where you don't always have a parallel surface to hang these on, fine adjustments would be key.
These criticisms aside all in all these seem really well made.
Thank you for this! This is literally the best video explaining how these rings work. After going through a bunch of them, I'm glad I ended up it in here!
You bet 👊
I have this type for awhile now…been trying to figure out how to do the high set up…this helps a lot…thank you
Just keep threading the strap through the rings and pull up bar until it gets smaller
Love the channel, SDGG! And thanks for the DC vid, was very helpful in showing how to set up. Please 🙏 keep vids coming. God bless!
Thank you 👊
Finally I understand how these straps works. Thank you very much for this video! :)))
You’re welcome
Buying a pair based on your video. Thanks for the insightful review and great content as always!
You’re welcome. Those straps are great 👍
This is the best video on how to set these up! I subscribed. Thank you!
You’re welcome
Thanks for the setup tips! And good review.
These are great rings!
You bet 👊
Man those are waay better than the old type! Thanks for the info
Yeah for sure. Rings are always even and no excess straps getting in the way.
Nice review! Thank you. I'm buying a pair now
Glad the video was helpful. They’re great straps
Smart and simple, liked!
Yeah man so simple
Could you do a visual tutorial on the short set up and how you got your straps to be all in line together and not having the extra off to the side?
Great review and a perfect problem solver
Simple solution to a common problem
Excellent review!!!
Thank you
Just bought these after my buckle straps gave out, this is a genius method ✅
I love them. I haven’t used the buckle ones again ever since I got these
Thank you so much! Insanely helpful to a noobie like me
You’re welcome 👊
I got both the strap sets , but double circle ones are faster for setting up
Nicely done, do these work as well with the ceiling ring hanger?
For my ceiling hanger, the rungs don’t have very much space for the carabiner on the ring straps to go through it.
So I have soft tie loops going through the rungs, then the ring straps go through those tie loops.
Great review 👍🏼
Thanks 👊
Glad I bought these. Hopefully with one set each strap is identical to each other. Thanks for the video.
You bet!
Great, I will buy these for the Isochain!
👊
I just got these and did my first workout, good lord these things humbled me
Rings are underrated. Much harder than they look
Most excellent presentation.
👊
Just found your channel, I saw the auto strap ratchet video first and was going to buy those then I saw this video. These look much more lightweight so I'm leaning towards these. Thanks for the tips! Just wondering how are they holding up? I saw a review saying the carabiners bend overtime. Have you experienced this?
Haven’t had any issues with the carabiners. They’re holding up just fine.
@@ShreddedDad Awesome to hear, thank you!
Amazing thank you for this! Would’ve helped to show how to setup the high medium and low setups ❤ mahalo
For high set up just keep threading the strap through the rings and over the pull up bar until the strap gets short. Same for the other set ups until you get to whatever height you want
That's great if your anchor point is a high bar in a gym which is perfectly level. If out in the woods using a tree limb that may be slightly out of perfect alignment, this set up is useless because with my current systems (3) I can slide the clamp up/down in order to micro-adjust the variance in level between the two sets of rings. --mike
Might not work on a tree but for a home gym it’s perfect.
Thanks for the video! I just ordered a set. Have you tried using these straps yet to do the leg press hack that you shared a few months ago?
I haven’t used them for that. Been using them for upper body.
@@ShreddedDadCool. I have been eyeballing the HENNY Attachment. When I saw your video about these straps I thought it might be a cheaper alternative, plus this comes with the rings. I plan to try to out the leg press as soon as I get the straps (scheduled delivery is this Tues). I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the reply, and respect the early Sunday morning hustle!
You’re welcome 👊. Let me know how it goes.
Make sure you use resistance bands too for added horizontal resistance.
And just in case, make sure your rack is anchored down.
@@ShreddedDad they worked great for leg press! And the band tension was an awesome tip - thank you!
Awesome! 👊
How many loops does one strap have?
Will you please make a video on your workout equipment ?
That how you attach and how you join part?
What piece of equipment in particular are you asking about?
@@ShreddedDad stand with different parts that attached with wall.
Here’s a review of my rack

Here’s a video showing more equipment ua-cam.com/video/dr93RijEY-s/v-deo.html
These look great. Curious as to how you set them up high for pull ups without any straps hanging though. I couldn’t quite make it out in the video clip.
You continue looping the strap around the anchor point and ring, then just clip it to itself.
@@ShreddedDad i had this issue im confused af
@@pinknoizz7510 keep moving the strap through the rings and pull up bar until you get to the desired height, then insert the carabiner in a slot
@@ShreddedDad thanks homie
I thought this design would mean that you can't have the rings right up close to the bar, but the way to do that is to get the bar to go between the small loop that is around the ring. So there's just a single carabiner used in that case.
Where does the extra slack go then? The video shows the straps wrapped around the rings several times. I would think that would be time consuming and hinder the ability for the rings to twist.
@@Timpala44 - Yea from memory his method was to pass the strap through the rings a thousand times. Rather time-consuming to set up and to adjust. When just having 1 loop and excess strap, it would just be treated like you're using a regular strap with a cam (toss it out of the way in some fashion, though not everyone is bothered by the strap presence). If it's a bit more of a permanent set-up, then one can roll/fold the straps up and then secure it with a rubber band in the middle of the roll-fold.
When the rings up real close to the bar, the ring twistability is hindered either way, but yea less strap passed through is at least better in this regard for sure.
I think your video on the rachet straps might work better for me. The rachet straps allow for graduations while these have fixed segments. When hanging my rings from tree branches I may need the flexibility to micro adjust.
Yeah, if you’re hanging from trees branches that are not even, the ratchets may be better for those micro adjustments
These caribiner straps are a must. My rings came with ratchets, only need one if hanging from a free or uneven bar. Just match it to the caribiner strap.
@@frankciccone8559 👊
Can you hook the upper carabiner directly to an eye hook in a rafter?
I’ve never tried. Not sure if the carabiner is meant for metal on metal contact
is there a video on how to set up the different heights ?
To set up higher, continue tossing the straps over the pull up bar and through the rings until you get to the height you want
Hi, how do you you wrap those straps to achieve the high setup at 05:37 please?
Continue wrapping it through the rings and pull up bar until you get to the height you want
I have 9 foot ceilings in garage. Will those be long enough to be about 1 door off the ground so I can do chest workouts? Thank you
The straps are 8 feet long
Can you please explain on the high set up? Can I hang the rings close to the bar?
Continue threading the straps through the pull up bar and rings until the strap gets smaller until you end up with the rings close to the bar
If you put your forearm inside them both, you can check with the forearm bone the height...
does it need the lock screws? and or what is the weight limit on the carabiners?
Weight limit is 1100 lbs combined
I’ve never used any lock screws
I just hung it and keep using it
Can this strap handle the barbell weight for the leg press setup?
Weight capacity is 800 lbs. Just make sure your rack is anchored down so you don’t have stuff flipping over.
I have GHB rings with a carabiner that has a screw that needs to be tightened with a small allen wrench. As far as I can see, there is no reason to have to tighten a screw every time I adjust the straps. It does not look like the strap would pop out of the carabiner. Does anyone else have this type of rig? What experience have you had - do you tighten the screw in the carabiner every time you adjust the straps?
I’ve never had to screw anything
Jose! I saw in another video you rigged these from your ceiling. How do you diy that setup?
Watch this video so you can see what I used to hang them ua-cam.com/video/ubRUYu0RQ0c/v-deo.html
I have used several different styles/brands of hammock straps. Two thing: they aren't numbered (I fixed by writing on them), and two they were either uneven from the retailer or stretched and became uneven which was an issue for me. Full disclosure, reviews for the DD straps on Amazon suggest that these stretch as well. Anyone have that experience?
Edit-that should have been DC rings.
I haven’t noticed any stretch. But wouldn’t they stretch evenly?
Beware of the carabiners with set screws. Without the little hold screws those carabiners are dangerous. Not sure if the ones in the video are the same style I have purchased on Amazon. They are not quick by any means
Hammock straps . Exact same function for 25 $ . 🤷🏻♂️
If that works for you go for it
Wow, never thought of that. So they are a pretty ideal alternative then?
@@ExtremeComments9 totally the same bro . 100% same functions and easier to pack in fact (more flexible ) way cheaper too less than half of the price of these
you're a genius thank you
Merci 👍
Can you check see if a barbell can slide in the holes for me
The barbell sleeve can slide through the holes by moving it back and forth but it won’t go past the sleeve so you won’t be able to get it to the shaft through a hole.
But you can always wrap it around the shaft and clip the carabiner to a loop.
At first I was super mad that I was dumb and bought 7ft straps with my rep fitness rings. But I ordered these last night and I'm actually glad I goofed the first time. Extra strap kills my ocd. Lmao
Lol yeah with these you can just keep looping them around the rings and bar so there’s no straps left hanging
I want to set it in the higher part so I could do pull ups with it but I don’t know how to
Just keep looping the straps through the bar and rings until it’s small and high enough
@@ShreddedDad Thanks , ima give it a try.
Just got those. Do you know what is the function of the screws that come in the box?
I really don’t know. Never had to use them.
@@ShreddedDad Weird. Thanks for the response!
You can also use hammock straps. They are basically the same thing and are half the cost.
are the hammock straps slot positions accurately matching?
Hi I'm a bit lost because my ceiling is about 14ft so I don't know what to buy any suggestions thank you
You might have to buy a second set of straps. The company that sells the rings in the video also sells straps separately. Check out the link in the description.
@@ShreddedDad cheers matey
I use a spirit level and different sets of cheap straps.
Whatever gets the job done
I just bought these and it came with two foot straps, but I have no idea how those are utilized. It came with no instructions, and only a QR code to their web page with youtube exercise videos. Yet none of them show how the additional foot straps are used?
Foot straps? Must be something new cause I don’t have those. I gotta check their listing
Are these holding up well?
Yes they are. No issues.
Do you know how much weight these can hold?
Up to 800 lbs
Fixed length is a problem if you use a non perfect linear bar (like a tree for example). Not very convinced. thanks for the review
Yeah for trees fixed length is not ideal
How do you set the rings up high close to anchor point ? Must be excess strap then isn't it ?
Keep looping the strap through the anchor and rings until it gets to the length you want
@@ShreddedDad I thought that might be the case. but I couldn't make it out in the video...Cheers from Oz

I bought the Double Circle straps, and I don't like them. First, getting the level even between straps with cam buckles really isn't a problem. The Double Circle straps don't work well because 1) they are very difficult to use with unlevel supports and are almost impossible to get even, and 2) they can't be adjusted between very low and very high positions. The vertical adjustment range is only about 4 feet, and that is far too limiting. I ended up ordering good-quality cam buckle straps and am very happy with them. The DC straps just don't work well, and I suggest that they be avoided.
But how about the weight limit? Can the yellow thread thing really hold up over time?
The weight capacity is 800 lbs and it’s the most robust stitching you’ll find on ring straps.
@@ShreddedDad Thanks! 💪
You bet 👊
Merci 👍
👊
My problem with the carabiner style is I don't know how to mount the ring up high without wrapping the strap around the anchor and the ring 4-5 times
You don’t have to wrap the strap all the way around unless you want it out of the way.
Just clip the carabiner to the loop closest to the anchor point
You can only half the loop length on the carabiner unless you're willing to wrap it. On the cam buckle style you can take it all the way to zero.
What if you don't tighten the lock screws in the carabiners? Let's say that you completely remove them. Let's say that the gate is then closed without the screw locking it. Is the carabiner still working properly? Screwing and unscrewing it is pretty annoying.
I’ve never tightened the lock screws on them
It is very unlikely that the carabiners would accidentally open. I never used the lock screws and there was never a problem. But I switched to cam buckle straps because they just work better.
In your video, you show the straps wrapped around the rings several times when they are set up high towards the bar. I would think that would be way more time consuming and hinder the ability for the rings to swivel. Is there a way to do it without doing that and having extra slack from the straps dangling?
Doesn’t take much time to do and it doesn’t interfere with the ring moving
That’s the only way to do it without the extra slack
@@ShreddedDad I just purchased the rings and I am experimenting with them. I'm sure I will figure it out.
You’ll get it with practice
You are absolutely right! Imagine if the horizontal support is quite high. You would have to get a step ladder to adjust the height correctly. Cam-buckle straps are much easier to adjust.
@@Timpala44 How's it going? I gave up and got some cam-buckle straps.
But what if you want to hang your rings in an irregular surface?
These are best for straight pull-up bars
How do they do with being left outside?
Have never left them outside but I’m sure they’ll wear out faster with rain and sun on them all the time
@@ShreddedDad Thank you for your reply. Honestly with those straps I will probably not have an issue placing and removing them in a hurry. Do you only do this stuff for your upper body or do you use weights and machines also?
@@kindpanda1075 I use everything
Well....I am gonna get them next time....this just changes things alot.
Makes it a lot easier and faster to change lengths
Omg, finally some help, I almost gave up, only problem is my straps are very long!???
Do you have the straps in the video?
@@ShreddedDad yes I do
@@nikapoo78 just keep wrapping them around the rings and pull up bar until you get to where want them clip the carabiner
@@ShreddedDad will do thanks so much!!
The disadvantage is that it is not useable on tree branch
Yeah, uneven surfaces wouldn’t be ideal
Interesting, simple design. But remember you're using twice as much strap material with this design. But on the plus side the carabiner is much lighter than a buckle. I'd say the best design for most, as often your support isn't exactly horizontal requiring slight adjustment to get even, is simply to use a wider strap/buckle (1.5" to 2"). A 1" is prone to slipping, especially if you're over about 150 lbs. What would be interesting though is not to use a buckle relying on a spring. Rather something like a quick release lever like is used to hold a bike wheel on the frame. I've never seen this used though. And to be able to disassemble it if you want to give the teeth a bit of sharpening because they will smooth out over time.
Actually uses LESS strap material.
Length of strap is *_shorter._* It's a much faster user friendly design but requires better quality control to ensure the sleeves/pockets are uniform - complaints on Amazon about uneven lengths which makes product useless.
@@alrocky Its hard to use a carabiner design outside as rarely is your support absolutely horizontal. Also its good to use uneven lengths sometimes and only with a buckle or knot can you get that exact. Really the buckle is the way to go. Then you can dial in the exact length you want. Then have the straps marked for easier reference. A carabiner design requires 2 straps stitched together. Twice as much strap material needed. Plus all that stitching. Its really just for indoor use.
@@swilhelm3180 Agree that carabiner problematic for outside and it's selling point is ease of use but worthless *_if_* quality control is not spot on. Well reasoned post. Happy New Year!
No sound.
Not sure why you can’t hear it. Just played it and have sound on my end.
@@ShreddedDad No idea, my speakers are working 100% and all your videos have sound except this one :(
But 🤔.......... wouldn’t it still be uneven if thrown over an uneven anchor point such as a tree branch?? 😕
Yeah works better on even anchor points. With uneven surfaces you’d have to play around with the slots to insert the carabiner.
For gyms they’re great
Good point.
How does their 3 year warranty work??
You’ll have to contact the company for that. I don’t know the answer to that question
This are not good is like me I hang my straps off a tree branch. This are good only for indoor or metal bar.
What about a comparison between the retractable straps you presented in your straps hack: ua-cam.com/video/NWor1A_j5ZQ/v-deo.html
Do you prefer either one of the two?
Btw thank you very much for your helpful content!
Hey Patrik, the carabiner straps are still more accurate.
The retractable straps are fast and take up very little room but you still have to play around with them a bit to get them lined up exactly the same.
Both work but if I had to pick one, I'd go with the carabiner straps because I know for sure both sides will be even all the time.
@@ShreddedDad Thanks alot for the fast and elaborate answer! Due to your help I will buy then one of the carabiner straps.
You’re welcome 👊.
You can find them here ShreddedDad.com/DCfitness
@@ShreddedDad It all depends on if you're packing them around walking or on a bike (so weight/size is an issue) and if the horizontal support you're using is even. Many are not exactly even. I use soccer goal posts and they are often a bit off over time. The heavy ones probably settle into the ground over several years/decades. I use 17' straps and often find them too short for doing pushups/flies close to the ground if my support is a little higher than say a soccer goal post. But even then 17' is barely long enough yet most sold today are using 15' straps. Also remember that if your horizontal support is large its going to take up a lot more strap length going over it. One place that is often good for hanging rings that few people would think of is under small bridges which often have a metal framework. Often the ground gradually slopes away from the bridge so you can pick the best support height as well. Good for muscleups if you don't want to smash your head into a beam. Also there's no rain/snow under a bridge. Handy in lousy weather. The downside is vehicle exhaust but wind usually disperses it well. I wouldn't use it during rush hour if the vehicles above you are bumper to bumper.
Such videos are very misleading. You are not identifying the downsides of these straps, and people, without practical knowledge, buy them and then stumble into problems. For example, they can't use branches, unless it's perfectly even. Secondly, you cannot lift your rings above your head, as high as possible (for pullups). You can make equal heights with buckle cams as easy as with these ones. Imbalance in muscle is nonsense, as it's impossible to miss adjust equally the same every single time. Your stance makes more imbalance then micro height difference. Your goal should be to educate, not to advertise.
The worst because Of the tiny screw and allen wrench are tedious
I’ve never even used those screws and Allen wrench. Just use the carabiner like a regular carabiner
