Hello,
How much does the rope stretch when used for full suspension with a body weight of approx. 141.1 pounds?
I read in the forum that it is approx. 7%.
The situation is as follows:
The ceiling height is only 90 inches and the ceiling is made of plasterboard (i.e. limited load-bearing capacity).
Therefore, the anchor point should be on a brick wall, not on the ceiling. Dumbbells are not suitable as anchor points
because the doors and door frames are of the cheapest construction and are already hanging loosely in
the wall.
Installing the pull-up bar, preferably at the top of the wall, will cost a few more inches.
Then the question arises, how long should the rope be between the knot that secures the rope to the anchor point
and the sling? Are there any disadvantages if the distance between the sling
and the fastening knot at the anchor point is kept very short, e.g., 2-3 inches?
Body length would be just under 70.9 inches. The head should also not hit the ceiling during convulsions
so that the neighbor does not fall out of bed (do you have to consider head twitching, or
does that not normally happen? The videos are not clear in this regard because there is usually
a lot of distance to the ceiling).
The rope is probably made of polypropylene, with a thickness of approx. 0.39 to looks like the one in the photo:
If the rope hypothetically has a stretch of 0.0 inches, the distance from the sole of the foot to the floor
(with the foot in a horizontal position, i.e., when the sole of the foot is horizontal to the floor) would be
approximately 5 to 6 inches.
Is that sufficient for a full suspension, or are the distances so short that it automatically
becomes a partial suspension? :) At the latest when the stool is removed and the ankle joints
have the opportunity to stretch downwards?
Perhaps bending the knees until unconsciousness, e.g., pulling the legs up so that there is no
contact with the floor (or does SI not allow this?).
Many thanks and best regards,
Suizident
