Great construction, quality materials and hardware, these straps are heavy duty and built to last over time and heavy use. No matter what workout you do at the gym, nothing beats crunches hanging from these straps. All of your effort is concentrated on the abdominals without tiring out your shoulders, arms or back as you would on the conventional crunch station or ab press. Best results if you have a nice high chinup bar so you can fully extend and crunch with a full range of motion. But even using a door chinup bar will yield results. Having it set up continuously is more of an incentive to do a few crunches every time you walk by.

These work great for their intended purpose. The strap is wide enough to give plenty of support. I give four stars because the hooks are a bit sloppy although I have no concern over them failing. The hooks are plenty large to fit over the pull up bar on my equipment. My weight is 155 lbs. so I'm not exactly stressing them.

I love these ab straps. I used to workout abs by holding onto the bar with my wrist straps for straight leg raises, but it put a lot of pressure on my shoulders and my wrists. With the ab straps I can do straight leg raises and leg raises to the side without hurting my shoulders or wrist. The padded sling is comfortable and the large carabiners attach to all of the bars in the gym. I don't even bother with the locking mechanism on the carabiners. The ab straps are great. My workout partner loves them too. My abs look great and are popping out even more, since I can do more reps with the ab straps.
