bullcrap shit! the gate in the carabiners is too small. I cant clip them to the bar :banghead: these things are huge and still sucks!
LOL - Sorry, don't mean to laugh AT you. I've been through the same, so I know how you feel.
As I think I said, only carabiners I've found that work are for those ab slings or some VERY pricey ones I've seen at climbing stores.
(I don't worry about velcro on the bar pad. With all else in place, the loaded bar keeps the pad pressed tight against your thighs.)
