Abstract
Implementations of a training rig are provided. In some implementations, the training rig comprises a first strip of material having a first loop on a first end of the first strip of material and a plurality of openings positioned along the length of the first strip of material. In some implementations, the first strip of material is used with a tie-down ratchet system to secure the first strip of material between a pair of trees sufficiently high enough so that a user can swing from hanging objects secured to the first strip of material. Hanging objects are attached to the first strip of material using the openings in the first strip of material. In another implementation, a wire having formed along its length loops using the wire are secured between a pair of trees using chains, a turnbuckle, and a carabiner. Hanging objects are attached to the wire using the openings formed by the loops.
Description
- This disclosure relates to implementations of a portable training rig.
- Obstacle course racing (OCR) is a fast growing sport. Some obstacles in OCR require tremendous upper body strength such as those obstacles using hanging obstacles. Training for such hanging obstacles can be difficult as equipment required for training may not be available in traditional gyms. Furthermore, existing training equipment for individual use may not be portable. Still further, training equipment may not permit training with different style hanging obstacles.

The second end of thewire 210 is looped through thescrew link 260 and secured to the wire with wire clamps 250. - The turnbuckle 220 may be used to further tighten the
wire 210 after the rig 200 has been secured to the tree. -
FIG. 8 illustrates an example use of the training rig 200 according to the present disclosure. As shown inFIG. 8 , with theloops 210 a formed along thewire 210, different hangingobjects 810 may be attached along the wire by inserting anyattachment device 815 for a hanging object through an opening formed by a loop in the wire (see alsoFIG. 7 ). As discussed above, the attachment device can be any suitable attachment device such as a carabiner, snap link, or any other suitable attachment device. - Reference throughout this specification to “an embodiment” or “implementation” or words of similar import means that a particular described feature, structure, or characteristic is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Thus, the phrase “in some implementations” or a phrase of similar import in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.
