About this deal
For anyone who trains in a home gym and wants to do more than squator deadlift variations to work their leg muscles, an AnimalHouse MonkeyFeet device can be a solid purchase. Again, although MonkeyFeet work okay, the current market seems to have passed them by, as there’s now other products that do a superior job. At first they took the fitness world by storm, though nowadays there’s many other similar products that I feel do a far superior job.
XL Strap Kit - MonkeyFeet – Animalhouse Fitness
As a calisthenics lover, the Monkey Feet are particularly great because all the leg workouts that the Monkey Feet target wouldn’t be nearly as effective without this obscure piece of equipment. This unique attachment clamps onto any dumbbell handle at least five inches wide and allows you to perform isolated lower-body exercises you can’t do with barbells or dumbbells alone. Individuals who don’t do a lot of traditional strength training won’t have much use for an AnimalHouse MonkeyFeet attachment.For almost every exercise you perform with the MonkeyFeet, you should look to control the weight with nice, slow movements. I NEVER did moves like knee raises and donkey kicks because they felt ineffective from a calisthenic standpoint. This unique design is the only method to-date that allows athletes to lift dumbbells with their feet just as they would with their hands. It would probably be better to have two binding straps distributing the weight more evenly than just one, but I'm sure that will come along soon enough.

Now if you have a different size shoe, use different Straps, and/or use a different size Carabiner - I CANNOT GUARANTEE this option will be right for you.The views expressed on this site may come from individual contributors and do not necessarily reflect the view of BarBend or any other organization. Their main product, Monkey Feet, look a little silly upon first glance, but if you actually think about it, your legs will gain strength like crazy while saving you time and space in your home gym. Each AnimalHouse MonkeyFeet attachment can hold up to a 160-pound dumbbell and is compatible with various dumbbell styles as long as the handles are at least five inches wide and less than 1. For example, even if you have some lifting experience, you may not be able to use more than a five-pound dumbbell for static high knees despite being able to handle a 20-pound dumbbell for leg extensions. When cutting, use a sharp pair of scissors, and then take a lighter and lightly singe the the end where you cut.
