bow string Configuration
The Bow String threading technique is used for abduction
and adduction exercises. Anchor each of the band’s handles
on the H2 mounted at chest height. Thread the band through
a lower hook to create a large loop.

Basic Loop
For most exercises, especially those without vigorous
dynamic movements, it is sufficient to simply loop
the band over the hook.
Wrapping
To increase the safety of anchoring bands, the user
has the option of wrapping the band around the hook.
This will form a closed loop around the hook providing
an extra layer of safety.
This technique will also eliminate bands from slipping
while preforming exercises with alternating motions.
Stretch Strap as a Pulley
The hooks can also be used to create a pulley using
a Hammer Head eight-foot stretch strap. In the photo,
Rachel has threaded the strap on an upper hook
and placed her foot in one of the strap’s loops.
To increase the tension of the stretch, Rachel simply
pulls on the strap to produce the desired stretch.
