Threading – Bands
To reduce the length or increase the tension of a resistance
band, simply anchor the band on one hook and thread it
through a second hook.
Threading – Straps
The same applies to suspension or stretch straps.
To reduce the length of a strap, simply anchor a strap
to one hook and thread it through a second hook.

The Hammer Head Anchor Gym provides numerous options for anchoring bands and straps.
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.
Basic Loop
For most exercises, especially those without vigorous
dynamic movements, it is sufficient to simply loop
the band over the hook.
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,
Amanda 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, Amanda simply
pulls on the strap to produce the desired stretch.
