Ab straps, looking for a recommendation

Amazon has a variety of straps for $15-$50. Spud Inc. has a produce but every product they produce seems to be priced about double what I think it should cost and their straps are $90. Some of the inexpensive models have reviews showing the nylon webbing failing, which is unacceptable.

Not sure if they are still available or still made the same way, but I got some Perfect Pullup ab straps with the first power rack/weight set I ever purchased. They're the only things I still have from that purchase and they've held up fine for the dead hangs and L-sits I rotate in.


And I'll drop the Wise Words of Rippetoe and just tell you to use two lifting belts.

Spud Inc is pretty universally worth the money. I've got various items they make and haven't regretted paying for a single one.

Valeo made my favorite but I think they went out of business. I got some off Amazon from gymfoward that looked like the Valeos. They were similar but they had vinyl under the arms that was uncomfortable and stuck to my skin
