doesnt work hard enough in the gym Member 1492, 2138 posts SQ 170, BP 145, DL 195 510.0 kgs @ 112kgs UnEq	Not sure what the best title for this thread would be. A lot of the monolift squats seen on the youtube two webbing straps are hung from the top of the rack as a safety device (to catch the bar at the bottom if the lift is failed) I have heard, but not seen in practice, that the heavier duty ratchet style straps (the type used to hold vehicles down on recovery vehicles) can be used Does anyone have any experience of either set up - seems like a good way to spot squats and benches ? Photos would be cool

Member 3714, 637 posts SQ 265, BP 177.5, DL 265 707.5 kgs @ 97kgs Eq	whats the advantage of them if its in a cage over the safety bars? purely to protect the bar?

I looked at the spud inc ones and realised they were just towing straps, chains and karabiners so bought the all the bits and made my own set for about £30.

embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275 650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	Not exactlu what the original post was about but I quite like the look of the safety straps poundstone uses. He has them set up like normal safety bars in the rack to stop the bar getting damaged, they look like they'd be good for doing log from as well. I could only find videos of it in his instagram and don't know how to link that to here.

Drugs cheat Member 3860, 630 posts SQ 335, BP 210, DL 330 875.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq	Safety straps on a monolift are the same thing as safety bars in a cage You don't have safety bars on a mono so straps are used It's not realy the best idea to try and rig straps in a cage as you would walk out a squat and straps need to hang free and can be off putting when they drag on you and the bar Plus for people who haven't used them they can be dangerous
