My first thought is that if you swing when you use this product you probably have bad form on all of your moves in the gym. This is far superior to a captains chair because you don't have a rigid object babysitting your hind end and to push against. If you swing, you need to smoothly counteract and summon your core balance. Try not to swing and that's when your crazy abs are born. Slow down, control your movement, impress ladies with six gnarly, toned bumps on your belly. That's what I do. I'm starting to look like that muscle guy from the anatomy class books.

Without these, my wrists would hurt when attempting this exercise on a pull-up bar. Well made...allows for higher reps since wrists don't give out. Well worth the money!

My ab straps DID NOT come with the metal carabiners shown in the ad pictures, so in order to put the straps on the bar, you have to DISCONNECT the whole bar from the brackets each time, a big PITA! Evidently the carabiners are a bit expensive, so they've deleted them and now show the ab straps in a closeup picture, not showing how they attach to the bar. Unfortunately, they didn't lower the price, though. Also, if you are taller than about 5'4", and you mount the PP frame in a standard door frame, you'll hang so low using the ab straps that your feet are dragging on the floor, even with your knees bent. Interesting idea, poorly executed.

I just got the ab straps a couple of days ago and they do come with the carabiners and my feet do not drag on the floor with my knees bent (I still have maybe 3" of clearance; I'm 5' 10" and the door frame is 6' 5"). Yes, you will swing while using them without back support BUT there is a very simple solution: close the door, if your doorway has one, behind you so you can press you back against it.

I like it. Have a $20 generic bar installed in the doorway and the straps just clamp to it. Works pretty similarly to the chair at the gym.

We bought the chin-up bar, and it had a mail-in offer for straps. But these looked WAY better to me, so I ordered them instead, for another $10.
Absolutely worth it- they are much wider for better support and well-padded for comfort. Essential for that great knees-up abs work-out.
The only little negative is that they smell weird...hopefully that will go away in time, and even if it doesn't, no biggie.

It works great. Sit-ups don't hurt your neck when you use this device. And it works the heck out of your abbs. No joke.

I think this is a great product. I can really get a good long ab work out without sacrificing my wrists and elbows.

I purchased this product for my husband. He's pleased with it, and it works with perfect pullup bar.

Using this product in conjunction with the Perfect Pull Up produced a quick but strenuous abdominal workout. Set up time was less than two minutes including removing the product from the box, removing the plastic from the straps, taking the pull up handles off the Perfect Pull Up bar and installing the ab straps! Installation could not be easier! And the workout is great. Following the moves on the workout poster (included) gives you a complete abdominal workout without the neck pain associated with crunches!
I love this product!
