What kind of training equipment do you use your Xmounts for?
My shoulder width is 50cm. Should I give 10cm extra space for comfort on my calisthenics rings? I'm confused. Can u help?
@@ArunGuna As a general rule of thumb, you want the spacing to be roughly shoulder width apart. If the stud spacing is smaller than your shoulder width, then you should move to the next stud. it's better to have extra space, rather than not enough. I hope this helps and thanks for watching.
@@TheNinjaLife absolutely. Thanks a lot for the reply. Keep up your great work 😀👍
@@TheNinjaLife I have installed my rings and I'm loving it. Keep up your good work Ninja 😊👌💐
@@ArunGuna that's awesome! So glad to have helped you. 🤙
3 minutes in and you've already explained more than the last 5 videos I've watched. Lol. Thanks!
Thanks so much. glad I was able to help out
Wow!! I think this video is great...and since its 5 yrs old i hope you are still working out at home...good man😊
Most helpful and to the point review on the X mount out there 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you
This video prolly does the best at explaining how to ceiling mount. Because man... Yoga body and all other mount necessary equipment doesn't even have a comprehensive video for it. Great job man thank you.
Thank you. I am glad that you found this video insightful.
Hey man just wanna let you know that this is probably the most helpful guide in terms of installation of the x-mounts, props, and thank you!
I really appreciate it and I'm glad I was able to help out🤙
I was really hesitant to purchase these for rigging my aerial silks to my bedroom ceiling. After watching this I’m much more confident they will hold! Thank you for the well done video
Thank you for watching. Im glad to hear that I've helped you with your purchase decision. 🤙🤙
@@TheNinjaLife can you just hook it in wall without the machine you ised to find where to hook
@@canyousub8255 HI, you don't need the stud finder. However, you have to make sure the bolts connect to a stud. (you can knock on the wall, it'll sound hollow where there is no stud, and more dense where there is a stud). Hope this helps 🤙
Did you end up using it? I’d like to hang my Lyra but not really convinced yet
Meike R yes! Mine has been hung for a year and fully supports my weight in flow. I don’t use it for any drops of course. I was very thorough in set up because I didn’t want to damage the ceiling. Use a stud finder! Made me feel more confident that it would hold.
Thanks for this bro, going to mount mine up in my gym space today. 👍🏾
Great video, very informative and thanks for linking all the info! Sold.
Thanks man. 👍 This is the vid I've been looking for.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching
Thanks man, your a life saver! 👍
Hafa Adai! Stumbled upon your video while looking for mounts! Thanks for sharing.
Buenas yan Hafa Adai! You're welcome and glad we were able to help.
Thanks buddy I got these for my bodylastics but haven't install the mount yet. Thanks for the upload. Just subscribed.
This video was very helpful thank you 🙏🏾 💯
I am glad I was able to help
Gonna give mine a go right now! Thanks brotha
Yessir!
Thank you!! Great video; helpful information!
You're very welcome. Glad I was able to help.
Perfect video
Thanks!
Using the two straps together to hold that rope is putting crazy side loading to both hooks. That angle is enough to be your weight pulling them together at a shear angle.
Very informative. This can be used fir an arial yoga swing?
Super video!
Thank you so much! 👍🏽
Awesome thanks so much
You're very welcome. I'm glad I was able to help.
Thank you!!!!!!
You're welcome 😊
I'm using these with my gymnastic rings but there's quite some noise from the bands, is that the case for you too or you found a way to sound proof?
Thanks for the video
Do you think you can hang a punching bag from it ?
Ok so I wanna hung up 2 punching bags in one location on garage and on other side of garage rings and climbing rope, my ceilings only 8ft high so climbing rope will be use for other exercises.
I will be using a 2x4 or maybe 2x6 board across maybe 3 joist for punching bags. I have a strut channel which will be attach to boards 2x4 or 2x6 board. For the rings and rope they will be mounted on a rogue ring hunger which I will attach to a board too.
I been using lag bolts to hung up stuff from ceiling, however people have been saying to use GRK RSS14312HP RSS HandyPak 1/4 by 3-1/2-Inch Structural Screws which are easier and stronger than the lag bolts and don't have to predrill??
Will these grk be good to mout weight pegs on wall or lag bolts will be better for this?
Is all the weight of the person going to be on the ceiling of the x mount?
Great video! Jus curious would you happen to know how weight (in lbs) a single anchor attached to a stud would support?
1:25 According to the manual it came with, it says each can hold up to 750lbs. I hope this helps
I want to use this for aerial chains but I just have this vision of part of my ceiling coming down lol. I don’t know how I can be sure of it being stable!! It’s not a concrete ceiling or anything
I have an unused fixture mount for a chandelier on the ceiling. The mount can support a fixture weighing over 200 lbs. I want to install the TRX mount directly to the electrical box, the same way I would mount the light fixture. I am not sure if this seriario is feasible. Has anybody ever tried something like this?
Друг, я посмотрел твои видео из России, Санкт-Петербург. Спасибо тебе за них, очень интересно. Я подписался.
Can you please help me get a better understanding, what are studs and why do you use a stud finder? i'm very keen on doing this but i have a plaster boarded ceiling want to know if it will actually work
Studs are basically the frame that's behind the wall/ceiling dry wall. (usually a 2x4) Drywall is very fragile and weak, it will not hold much weight, this is why we drill into the wood behind the drywall, aka "stud"
A stud finger will help locate exactly where these studs are behind the drywall.
I hope this helps.
do you know if these would work for rigging an aerial hoop/lyra setup? I only weight 100lbs but I read online that when doing lyra it can create up to 5000lbs of force
Hi, Yes I've seen these installed in many homes and studios. The force you refer to is when you start doing a lot of the drops associated with Lyra. Hope this helps
Can i use this same set and install it into a 2x4 ceiling stud? I have the same set for my yoga hammock and i am afraid the 2x4 will crack.
I installed mine into the ceiling which are 2x4s. You just have to ensure you install them as centered and possible. Best bet to be sure it can hold up is to find a blue print of the house and see how the ceiling is constructed. For me, it has been working and holding for the past 4 years. With almost daily use. I hope this helps
WHERE DID YOU BUY THE ATTACHMENTS THAT YOU USED? THE RINGS? THE SILKS? THE PRETEND ROCK WALL YOU CLIMBED?
The rings were a gift I received years ago. But they sell them on Amazon, Search gymnastics rings. The rock wall, was actually a peg board I made from wood, and the silks you mentioned are from "grip slings"
Do you know the size of the bolts you used? Thickness and length? Thanks!
Unfortunately I don't have the exact sizing that was provided for this brand. However, there are some other brands that have the same weight capacity of 750 lbs and use 3/8" lag bolts. The length varied for each brand, but ranged from 3" - 4" in length. I hope this helps steer you in the right direction. (I found this information in the description of various x-mount brands off amazon)
Super helpful, thank you! Is your ceiling made of plasterboard?
It's the the same daywall material as the side walls. But it's drilled into the I-beam in the ceiling
@@TheNinjaLife excellent! Thanks a lot, will take care of it!
I want to use this for hanging gym rings
The straps are 1.5 inch thick
Do you think these will be suitable?
Might be a tight squeeze
Thank you great tips. Question;
Why didnt you use plastic dowels? Any idea if it will make it stronger or weaker? 🤔
Are you referring to the pegs for the pegboard at the end?
@@TheNinjaLife nope. you installed screw directly to the wall. im asking how about making a hole with a drill,after mount a plastic or stainless steel dowel in the hole, then install the screws?
I'm don't think adding a dowel would make the hold stronger in this case. I'm using lag bolts that go directly into the wooden stud behind the dry wall. I hope this helps
If i want to install gymnastic rings, how many cm apart should they be from each other?
50 cm
Can you add a lit of equipments you used to demonstrate all the different things you used for the x-mount?
There is a full list in the description available
Can you add a link to the attachments? Particularly the ones at 5:52
Hi, I have fallen way behind with my video's but very soon I'll be right back on track with more reviews like this video. Links as well. Stay tuned
I'd never put them screw directly into the ceiling without screwing into wall plugs first. Yours seem to hold fine though.
What is the space between each other? Thanks
I followed the placement of the studs behind the wall, which for me was about 16". Hope this helps
Would one of these work for a heavy bag?
As long as it does not exceed the weight limit, I don't see why not. This brand specifically is 750lbs
I use my x-mount for aerial silks, but the x-mount is slightly moving in the ceiling so I think we need to tighten it a bit
Me and my dad used this tutorial to put it up though so thanks! It was really helpful
Nice! From time to time, my wife and daughter would use the xmount for their aerial hoop.
Also you're welcome, I'm happy to hear I was able to help you out.😊
Do you think the aerial silks would work on low (8ft) ceilings? My 10yr old daughter would be thrilled.
They will hold, but not sure how well she will be able to perform certain skills being that low
How far apart are your joists?
They are 16" apart.
Where can get that rope?
I got mine off Amazon. amzn.to/2ExrXgA
How much weight can it carry and is there a reccomended maximum time? And would one be enough to carry ~150lbs if you use it with a simple rope for example?
1:25 According to the manual it came with, it says each can hold up to 750lbs. To answer your question concerning the rope attachment, I've attached a variety of obstacles and climbing holds to these mounts and they still hold strong to this day. hope this helps
BRO!!! What is the name of the product you used for peg board?
Built it myself. Here's a video I did on it
th-cam.com/video/eSUVBtEgCOM/w-d-xo.html
@@TheNinjaLife dude that’s awesome
How much weight can this actually carry?
It is supposed to hold up to 750lbs 1:26
Out of welders perspective if you grind all of that weld at the back flush you it will have nothing holding it but i personally would have welded there and the front (exposed part) just saying and besides after its mounted you will not see it
How high should you mount it on the wall
It's honestly user preference. But personally, if I was going to install them on a wall, I would mount them as high as I could physically reach fully extended. I'm 5'6 and can reach 6'2" so I would mount them at 6'2"
I hope this helps
This information works for me
Did your wood screws go into wood studs?
Sure did. That's the only way it'll hold all the weight. 4:08
The Ninja Life thx. I’m trying to figure out what screws to use into metal studs 😑
@@contremelodiagomez8785 oh, metal studs. That's a tough one. If the metal is open and accessible I'd say nuts and bolts. But if it's behind the wall, you won't know the thickness or material of the metal. So you might want to reconsider your mounting location options
Dude, ahhhh so glad you did this video. My mount has four holes though. Hey did you make that black braided rope. I wanna buy one. What advice would you give for someone using this to rehab after automobile accident. Thanks you totally Rock
YESSIR! Super happy that you found this useful. As for the four holes, you should be able to mount it the same like I did using two holes. (not sure if that will reduce the weight limit so I'd double check if you're unsure) or you can find a spot to accommodate the four holes. I bought the rope off Amazon years ago. They sell tons. As for rehab, that's really tough to say, I have no idea what your specific needs are. but for me, I use this as a anchor point for bands my PT gave me for my shoulder. I hope this helps🤙
I’m too short and don’t want to buy tools for a mount. I’d have to call in the building’s handymen and they’d question my mounting stuff on the property.
What about concrete roof?
We mentioned at 2:20 that some of the other sets come with anchors for concrete. In this case you'll need a concrete drill bit and a hammer to place the anchor in the drilled hole. Spacing should be about shoulder width apart, but that's totally user preference. Hope this helps
This is sketchy. You used the stud finder to find the joists (not studs, by the way), but you didn't even check whether you were drilling in the centre of the joists. For all you know, you're drilling close the to the edge, which would make this much weaker.
Also, just because these mounts can take 750lb does not mean your joists can take that kind of weight at a single point. The recommended way to do this is to attach timber or metal across multiple joists.
I would *strongly* recommend that nobody uses a set up like this for anything that involves hanging upside down (e.g. silks) -- it's not worth a permanent injury if you land on your neck.
I get that your wife has successfully uses them for ariel stuff, but that doesn't mean it won't fail or that it's safe long term.
Only down side is you can't adjust the distance of the rings
can you install it on a hallow ceiling?
Most ceilings will have a wooden beam/stud behind it and that's what you want to drill into. Plain drywall is not strong enough to support much weight
@@TheNinjaLife I'm renting a 2 story well built apartment. All I know is the ceiling feels like wood. Do you think it can support 154kg? Is there a way to tell where the beam/stud are? TIA
Apartments are tricky. But there is a way to find a stud or in your case a joist in the ceiling. In the description, I have a link to a stud finder that can locate wood or metal behind the wall/ceiling. This way you can figure out where to mount the xmounts.
I don't understand why you mount them so close together.
hey man is it still holding ??
Sure is. And use them nearly everyday
I just put up 3 sets of rings using xmounts in the garage 2 days ago
@@TheTorrence11 nice. Glad I was able to help
How are they holding up? I'm considering setting up lyra in my garage. Saw your video and I am hoping these will work for me.
@@ashleymarie314poles they work wonderfully, I still use them till today. Definitely a life saver with the quarantine.
Can you do video about your tatoos?
Are these safe enough to put into 2x4s for aerial silks?
Mine are in 2x4s and my wife uses an aerial hoop with no problem. Hope this helps
The Ninja Life yes, thank you!
Girl Power I would consult a professional rigger or get a portable rig. These are not the safest option
Are you coming to NNL finals?
backyard ninja warrior you can count on it. Shall I see you there?
backyard ninja warrior I'll be there at Ninja Quest
The Ninja Life see you THERE man, I'm in Detroit now for my finals then I'm going home to Kennesaw for adult finals.
backyard ninja warrior that's awesome! Be sure to say if you see me. I'll be wearing my TNL tank top. Get you in on the vlog for the comp
? Oh WHOOPS! Thought it said X months.
i was concerned about doing this with my aerial silks where i live in a moble home. I didnt want my roof to cave in and fall in lol
You for sure want to ensure there is a strong structure to drill these into. Not sure how a mobile home is constructed, so be sure to double check before installing. Good luck
Those mounts are not official TRX Xmounts. The TRX Xmounts have better craftsmanship.
Keith W I agree. the official TRX Xmounts have great craftsmanship. These were the budget friendly version and ended up working really well. Sacrificed some cosmetics for about half the price.
It's amazing what people think is worth filming and put on the internet.
And if it causes your ceiling to come down on you....who do you blame , the creator of the hooks or the construction workers who built the house??
I won’t trust those 2” lags to hang myself from..
