A Clever Way to Handle the Suspension Strap Set-Up!

John Thornell

If you have used the erg suspension strap, you’ll appreciate this clever idea.

The strap’s bracket is designed to fit in the Concept 2 erg handle’s u-bolt. But it can be a little snug with the chain connector swivel sharing the same space.

If you have a spare erg handle lying around the boathouse, it can make things a lot easier! Even the older wooden handles work well.

Just leave the handle that’s connected to the chain in the erg’s handle hook or resting against the chain guard (pictured above). Connect the second handle to the suspension strap. Voila!

This is especially helpful when using a scale during isometric exercises to measure force. A second handle that isn’t connected to the erg chain will make it easier to connect to the scale. Since the chain is not connected to the handle, it also makes it easier for a coach, training partner, or coxswain to get a reading off the scale.
