Overview
The AbMat Quarter Rings offer an innovative, low-profile alternative to traditional gymnastic rings. By utilizing a "quarter ring" design rather than a full circle, these handles provide the fluid rotation and grip benefits of ring training without the need for high ceilings or cumbersome strap setups. Manufactured in the USA from weather-resistant materials, this patent-pending design is incredibly portable, making it an ideal pull-up variation tool for home gyms, commercial facilities, or outdoor training.

Performance Benefits
Low-Profile Design: Perfect for home gyms or basements with low ceilings where traditional, full-sized gymnastic rings would hang too low to be usable.
Joint Relief and Mobility: Allows the hands and wrists to naturally articulate and rotate from an overhand (pronated) grip to a neutral grip during pull-ups. This fluid movement significantly reduces strain on the shoulders, elbows, and wrists.
Infinite Grip Widths: Unlike fixed neutral-grip pull-up bars, these can be spaced as close together or as far apart as the user desires to target specific muscle groups.
Easy Setup: Simply toss the webbing strap over any standard pull-up bar, slip the Quarter Ring through the loop, and pull tight to create an instant, secure, and self-supporting training station.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: The polypropylene plastic can be easily wiped down with a damp cloth or mild disinfectant to remove chalk, sweat, and dirt.
Outdoor Use: Because they are made from weather-resistant plastic and nylon, they are safe to use outdoors. However, to ensure maximum longevity of the nylon webbing, avoid leaving them permanently exposed to harsh UV sunlight or heavy rain.
Inspection: Always inspect the 5/8" nylon webbing before use. Look for any fraying, tearing, or severe abrasions, especially at the point where the webbing makes contact with the pull-up bar.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need a special pull-up bar to use these?
A: No. The webbing straps are designed to easily loop over any standard straight pull-up bar, squat stand crossmember, or even a sturdy tree branch.
Q: Are these strong enough to hold heavy users or weighted pull-ups?
A: Yes. Despite their lightweight 0.5 lb design, the polypropylene and nylon webbing construction is highly durable and engineered to support heavy bodyweights and weighted vest training.
Q: How does the grip feel compared to normal rings?
A: The grip diameter is 1.3", which is just slightly thicker than a standard 1.25" gym ring. The plastic features a lightly textured surface to ensure it does not slip in sweaty hands, and it holds chalk very well.
Q: Is the strap length adjustable?
A: The AbMat Quarter Rings feature a fixed-length webbing loop designed to keep the handles close to the pull-up bar. They do not have long, adjustable straps like traditional suspension rings.
