I have a very small home gym. Its a room that is maybe 15x15, Powertec Power Rack w/ Lat and Leg attachments, treadmill, and some open space to the side of the power rack for doing barbell work.
I am looking for something I could maybe attach to the rack, similar to those things that attach to doors, to help in holding my feet for situps. Has anyone seen anything like this?

It's amazing what some used climbing rope and a few carabiners can do in a power rack.

If you're doing heavy weight or if you have a big belly or if you are too weak to do a situp, blocking your feet might be necessary. I'm sure you don't need any splainin' trimble006 but there are plenty of folks that can't do any situps unless they block their feet because their abs aren't strong enough or they are so overweight.
I'd be far more impressed to see these guys do situps without their feet blocked and without any weight.... and without using their quads and upper body to pull themselves up. I'm not sure they could even do 12.

sit ups aren't the greatest thing in the grand scheme of abdominal work. you have the pullup bar, so you could try doing hanging leg raises...maybe get some ab straps to hang from them. no extra space needed.
