Shoulder Harness

I developed this as an alternative to the traditional rope harness. I wanted to be able to tie a guy's hands in the middle of his back without any rope crossing the front of the body.

If a guy has a nice torso I like it to be unobscured!

The technique is still fairly simple.

1

Sub stands and crosses his hands behind his back.

Find the midpoint of your rope and tie his wrists at this point.

Pass the free ends of the rope over his shoulders.

2

Pass each end under the armpit and back behind him.

Pull the ends taught so that the wrists are pulled up into the centre of the back.

3

Bind each end around the upper arm near the armpit and tie off with the knot on the inside.

4

Take each end up to the opposite shoulder and tie to the loop that circles the shoulder.

Make sure the knot is on top/slightly in front of the shoulder blade.

This secures the shoulder loops which would otherwise slip down over the arms, and holds the whole arrangement together.

If the rope runs out here, tie off around the shoulder.

If your rope is longer, the ends can be secured to anchor points (eg: bed posts) or used to tie up the lower body.
