I weigh 270 and want to start working out with rings, will the strap and buckle hold my weight?

I found that these have the best wooden handles you can buy, period. However, I could not get the straps to hold my weight reliably at 240. I purchased some straps from an auto parts store and switch between those and loops from a climbing gear store to use the rings. I also recommend the book "Overcoming Gravity" for proper technique and regimen. Good Luck! :D

I think you will be fine. They are high quality straps and rings. Mine have held up with lots of abuse over the past couple months.

I can hang off of one ring with all of my bodyweight just fine, and I weigh 165. So to answer your question, I do not know if only one strap/buckle would support your own bodyweight, but using both at once you should be just fine!

AW, there is no way you are going to break the rings or snap the strap. This gear is among the strongest I have seen. Hope this helps.

hi, i weigh only 187 so i can not tell from experience. however what i can say from working out and from observing different rings in my gym is that these are high quality rings. their straps are very thick and the wood rings are very comfortable.

The strap would probably hold a semi. I think the buckle should be just fine. I have some tie down straps rated at 400 lbs, and they look like cheesy toys compared to the straps and buckles on these rings. Hope that helps

Yes. Definitely. The straps and rings themselves are very sturdy and reliable. The hard part is finding a solid place to hang the rings from. I have mine hanging from the rafters in my garage so the real weight challenge is on the rafters, not the rings/straps.

Sorry it took so long for me to respond. I weigh 226 and it will hold my weight. The only difficulty that I encountered is that the cross bar is about two inch square and it is a little difficult to hold on to while pulling up. I wear gloves and it makes it a little easier. Good luck.

If you combine all 3 bands it will provide 250 pounds of resistance or assistance. I have ordered 2 sets of these bands for my gym so far and love them - will definitely be ordering more.

It depends, the heavy one could work for you, I used to put 110 lbs resistance in the abductor machine and I feel great with this bands. But maybe you are looking for something more challenging, if it so go for the x-heavy and xx-heavy set :)

I don't think so. The strap isn't elastic; you use your body weight with the straps instead.

No. That is a weak strap. You must have a pouch to keep you equipment.I hope help you guy.

Not sure. I have hernia and awaiting surgery. I'm wearing a belt and keeping it light but had a max of 130# and its pretty sturdy and smooth. I don't think it is meant for really heavy weight. Sorry I couldn't provide more info.

It might be marginal. I'm 160 with about a 34 inch waist. I have to crank it down pretty tight. I'm skeptical that you'd be able to tighten the strap tight enough.

Honestly I don't know as no one in my family weights that much. But the straps are very well made and sturdy material. My husband weighs 200lbs and the hammock held him and our baby with these straps with no problems!

Mine wobbles / shakes if I use any of the three upper positions for dips. It is sturdy if I use the top lower position. With that I can do dips with my feet back and my knees are just above ground level at the bottom - so this wouldn't work with a belt/hanging weight. But fine with a vest. I am 185 and have had up to 45 pounds in a weight vest in it.

Deron's comment is right on. And the strap should easily support your weight.

the thing about the suspension straps they require you to incorporate a lot of assistant muscles to aid with the exercises I wouldnt recommend that for someone just starting to get back into working out maybe once you've been working out and you wanted to find the yourself further in your workouts and you need help with muscles that will stabilize your core and other routines a little bit more profoundly

The material used is very durable, so just as long as its secure, it should hold up your weight

insert the straps into the buckle in the opposite way that you are doing it. i know it seems counter-intuitive - i had the exact same problem! so basically, you are inserting the strap through the "back" side of the buckle (the extra strap will come out like a tongue through a dragon's teeth). once you do that, when the buckle clamps, it will hold. these are really super rings, easy on the hands and durable (i have had them outside all summer). but they really should include some visual instructions. hope this helps!

I can't answer for the product company specs, but practically speaking the straps would easily hold the weight of an adult (and then some). They are heavy duty seat belt-like material. Note that the straps are probably the strong part of your set-up. Eventually ropes would tie to the caribiners (attached to the straps). So, rhe knots and ropes are likely the points of failure rather than the straps.

I am over 200 and it holds my weight effortlessly. These are heavy duty straps. I have tried the more expensive straps and actually like these better

I have Olympic Rings set up in this bar and usually can do ring push-ups, dips, and ring rows without issues. However, this bar does have a lot of movement and tends to sway when applying more complicated movements. Hopefully this is helpful.
