Back straps
Started by Maarten, February 18, 2015 · 59 Replies · 27,784 Views
Hi All,
As much as I'd like to purchase the GB Back Strap, it seems like inventory is an issue. Can anybody link to or recommend a reputable substitute?
Thanks!
Hi Ryan,
Our apologies for the delay Ryan. The GB back straps are in high demand. Keep your eye on the website as you notice they sell out quickly. A new shipment is on the way.
Back straps are simply that popular. A larger inventory will be in very soon but even though our stock will be twice as much, it is the holidays so I recommend getting your order in promptly.
Did a shipment come in and sell out again already? I finally have stall bars and now of course the back strap is sold out!
The backstraps are now in stock again.
To be clear: are these the straps used to do the arch ups? I am trying to find them here in Europe, does anyone know other names for them? Surely gymnasts here must also use them.
Hi Borja,
Yes, they are the straps you see attached to the stahl bars for exercises like arch-ups. I don't know of any other names for them but if you are not close to @Wesley Tan over at GB U.K. (Forma), take a look at some of the DIY threads for these using the search function. There are also a number of crafty setups scattered throughout the Foundation One forum's form checks subsection.
Team,
I've reached a point where I want to buy one of these but I see they are out of stock again, do you know when the next load is coming in? I'm in the UK so will have to ship it to a transatlantic courier firm.

New stock should arrive in the next few weeks.

I've been looking to get one of these but live in Canada. Looking around I think a flying yoga sling will do the trick. Anyone have any experience with these?
Is anyone in the US willing to get me one of these? I'm based in the Netherlands and can't order one directly from the webshop (it's a bit annoying that you can fill out details for international shipping, only to find out that international shipping isn't possible when you proceed to checkout...).
I'll reimburse the extra shipping costs to Europe, of course.
Thanks in advance!!

Anyone?
I found an alternative option but I prefer to get the GB backstrap if possible...
Thanks!
it looks like Gb isn't selling these any more? Anyone have a substitute they can recommend?
This is the only thing holding me back from cancelling my gym membership right now!

Hi Paul, the back straps have indeed been in stock for the US you can find them at http://www.gymnasticbodies.com/gear/.
Does anyone have a substitute for the back straps? Building my own stall bars in quarantine but these back straps seem to be non-existent. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!
YOU can use a table and fix the heels under the stallbar. it is the same thing.

Thanks for the tip! I also just found a weighted dip belt with large D rings on the side. I think I can rig up a system with that and some tie down straps.

Do share when you've figured this out.

If you can't get a backstrap try a yoga swing or go to the hardware store and get a roofers climbing belt or an outdoors place and get a climbing belt. They have rings on both sides you can just put a strap or rope on and attach it to the stall bar. You could also take a pillow, run a rope or strap through it, fold the pillow in half and duct tape the crap out of it. Get creative. Sometimes ugly homemade equipment is fun.

Thanks for the tips! Found out the dip belt was poorly spot welded so I returned it as it didn't seem as secure as it needed to be. Ended up picking up a safety harness belt made by Welkforder[rated for 5000lbs], got some climbing carabiners for attachment, and just used the straps that came with my gymnastics rings, this setup works like a charm! Tried uploading pictures but it doesn't seem to work at the moment. I made my stall bars from scratch. Will post a DIY how to video once I get it edited, turned out awesome and now I can do GB at home!!
