First, take the remaining rope from your DIY suspension trainer and tie a double bowline (click for detailed instructions) at one end.

Next, throw the loop over the overhead object.

Take the loose end through the double bowline’s loop.

Tie a half-hitch by passing the free end of the rope out of the bowline’s loop and around itself as shown.

Tie another half hitch to secure the loop.

Now, throw your DIY suspension trainer handles through the loop. Adjust the height of the handles by changing the size of the loop by untying and retying the half-hitches.Now you can go from ankle level handles for exercises like knee tucks, elevated pushups, and planks…

…To shoulder level or higher handles for dips, pullups, etc.
