I know a simple bench/rack, and barbell/dumbbells are simply the only things you need to build a good looking physique.

But, I'm just a sucker for new equipment/things. :) Curious if others have tried the straps and like them...

I've used gymnastic rings on occasion, but I'd never pay $200 for some nylon straps with handles. Thats ridiculous. You could rig your own for much less.

I use a couple of nylon lifting slings that look like these:

They are strong, affordable and extremely versatile in a power rack (or even for pulley exercises). $14 bucks each. You can also easily "adjust" them by looping them around at the top of the power rack for the height/length you want.

I found a 20 foot nylon vehicle tow strap for roughly $20. Interesting how they took a similar product, called it something else, and charge $200! :)

Funny that you are saying they cost 200 bucks. Less than 100 and they are much better than anything you can make. The new model is awesome and will be posted soon. The Ab straps and pushup straps are fully adjustable and can be used anywhere with the new door mounting feature. Honestly I use them all the time because the workout is awesome and I don't have time to drive to the gym everyday. Yes that is me in the video.
