This is a tutorial on how to build assistance pulleys for the gymnastics rings which can be used anywhere. What this does is reduce the effort by a half. You can then hold positions, build strength, and perform reps you would not be able to otherwise. These are portable and relatively simple to make. Rings are a great bodyweight exercise and can be really impressive once you learn some basic skills.

I don’t think there is an official name for this set up but there are some brand names I have heard such as The FIFTY FIFTY, The Ring Thing, Dream Machine etc. These cost in excess of £300 and the DIY version in this video will cost significantly less. I bought my items in one go from a UK store called go outdoors, you could use any store that sells rock climbing equipment or you can buy the items online for much cheaper, I was just impatient.

A list of items you will need are below, I have listed prices for cheap items which I have found on amazon at the time of uploading this video.

Gymnastics Rings £14.99 - these normally come with some strapping which is useful.

15m Rock climbing rope £7.28 – You can have this cut to length in store, I would suggest having them cut it into the 4 sections you will need as they have a good tool meaning the cuts are neat and not frayed.

Pulleys x 2, £7.03 each – I bought higher quality pulleys for £16 each, this is a somewhat essential part of the kit.

Carabiner x 2, £2.99 each – I bought a higher quality stronger carabiner for £6.00 each as I want to be absolutely confident in it holding me during any fast falling movements. This is also somewhat optional but highly recommended. This is because you could tie the rope to the harness however it would be more uncomfortable and take longer to set up each time as you would need to tie rope to harness each time.

Harness £19.99 – Ideally you want a harness which has a ring connector at each hip where you can attach a carabiner. I bought a more expensive comfortable harness however mine does not have the ring connectors but I can just attach it at the side anyway. It’s also possible to go without this as you can use another secure belt that you already have. All you need is a way to attach rope to your hips which can hold your weight. Get creative!

-Total cost on a budget £61.30
-Absolute ghetto cost £36.33
-Total I spent for decent equipment £104.47
-Being a ring beast Priceless
