Perfect Pullup Heavy Duty Performance Series Ab Straps Review.
"Poor reviews unsound" 2009-04-19

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.

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.

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!

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.
"Great overall for the price" 2009-10-05

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.
