Ab Slings FAQ:
1. How to use the Hybrid Athlete Ab Slings?
Setting up and using the ab strap is as easy as setting up a band for assisted pull-ups, if not easier. Here’s how to set up the ab strap slings:
- Stand under the bar and use the two carabiners to attach the slings
- Align them and make sure that the straps are hanging evenly and shoulder-width apart
- Get a box underneath and get on it
- Slide your arms through the slings one at a time
- You can also pull yourself into the sling (without the box) but don’t try that until you are experienced enough
- You’re all set once both your arms are through the ab straps
*Quick tip – to get the best out of the ab straps, you should always avoid swinging during the movement you’re performing. Swinging means a lack of control, and core work is all about controlled movement.
2. Are Ab slings worth it?
In the last decade, through science-based training, we discovered that doing infinite crunches and sit-ups has a negative effect in the long run.
That’s why you’ve seen a surge in hanging core training lately. The Ab Sling is there to help you get a grip (pun intended) on the best way of core training. So, yes, they’re definitely worth it, for beginners and advanced athletes.
3. Are Ab Slings good for beginners?
Ab Slings are great for beginners, especially if you’re getting into bodyweight training and calisthenics. Initially, when you start using the sling, you won’t have to focus on grip strength, which is often the weakest link with hanging training.
On top of that, you can leave more room for the recovery of your back muscles.
4. Are the Hybrid Athlete Ab Slings safe?
Thanks to the industrial design consisting of heavy-duty nylon and robust carabiners, you won’t have to worry about injuring yourself while getting on or off the slings.
5. When should I expect my Ab Slings after I order?
If you are located in the Netherlands, you can expect your Ab Slings to arrive within 1-3 business days. For the rest of the EU, it depends on the location and typically takes 1-14 business days. We work with trusted carriers like PostNL and DPD.
