Hey; If your starting the 12 wk ab program and dont have the stand for doing the hanging ab curls. I have a set of arm slings that I ordered from a boxing magazine. You just clip them to a chin up bar and hang from your under arms-very comfortable, no strain. Think I paid about $40. Cant remember what they call them, I have had mine for about 10yrs. Im sure there still out on the market.
