Is Ab Sling worthit?

[sribond]

Attached is what I am planning to get & looking for suggestions.
Do you experts think its really worthit?
I also had my Ingenuial Hernia surgery sometimes in 2015 & is it advisable/safe to put stress on Abs like this?

No and no.

You can probably find a bunch of different ab sling options on Amazon for cheaper than the branded version. They are fine but there are so many ways to work your abs/core that I've never found them very useful. I have a pair gathering dust.

2015 seems like a long time ago for your hernia surgery to be a factor but I'd talk to your doctor if have concerns. If you haven't been doing any ab training in a long time, then start slow regardless.

I'll give a dissenting opinion here......I use mine fairly regularly, even though I don't have much trouble hanging from the bar for Hanging Leg Raises.

I often feel like I start to focus more on holding onto the bar, and I lose focus on curling my trunk. If you aren't curling your trunk, then you end up working hip flexors rather than abs.

That said, I would not spend a lot of money on ab slings.
