Sports reviews of Valeo Ab Straps
Customer Review: Valeo Ab Staps ok but not great
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
As a result of moving to a new gym I was disappointed to find that they did not have any ab straps for doing hanging leg raises - this should be a requirement for all gyms! My old gym had Ab-Originals, which were terrific even if they were quite well worn from getting a lot of use. So, I purchased the Valeo Ab Straps, in part because they were less expensive and in part because they looked to be better. In terms of quality of materials, yes, they are better. Heavy duty fabric with serious carabiners for serious weight. The problems come in when you use them. First, the material is so thick that they never 'relax' and hang down. I've used them a bunch of times and they still sit like flat pancakes when attached to the Smith Machine, instead of hanging low. And that brings up the biggest problem - they're too high up. The straps don't have extra material to allow them to hang low AND because the fabric is so stiff, you need a serious step stool just to reach them.I'm 5'9" - not towering but I should be able to reach these without all the work. Net, net, consider others first unless you're seriously overweight, in which case these are built for you.
