I had a few instances where the mats toppled over, but it was at the end of the set.<br /><br />I use 2" long straps.<br /><br />Glad it worked out for you.

Big improvement. <br /><br />I was also stumped on how to accurately keep track of where I was on the chain but what you said works fine. <br /><br />I think you said you cut your pavers in half for travel, did you find that they or the weights move around anymore than before since the bar/weights would be wider than them? I'm debating on doing this since I don't train at home. <br /><br />One last question: are your straps short, do you just wrap them around the cage a few times, or do they ratchet? They don't look very long in your videos. <br /><br />Thanks for the help. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03147648404793175202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241010404351033906.post-68251764793811576932013-10-20T12:07:11.645-07:002013-10-20T12:07:11.645-07:00No problem.

You can actually see the set up in this video<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91JtYVqdvDE<br /><br />Basically, take some tow straps, such as these<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Smittybilt-CC220-20-Recovery-Strap/dp/B001CF4UWG<br /><br />Loop them around the top support of the rack by feeding one end through the other. Put the 3/8 chain (I use a 5' length per side) through the open end and use a carabiner to make the connection.<br /><br />To ROM progress, count how many links are remaining after you have connected the chain with a carabiner, and then each week have 1 less link remaining. You can set up for a variety of movements this way.<br /><br />Emevashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983296057210465714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241010404351033906.post-15337794678724606122013-10-20T10:29:20.862-07:002013-10-20T10:29:20.862-07:00Hey Emevas,

I know you've said you use 3/8 chains but that's about it. I'm trying to figure out a good way to do it.
