Question 1

Can you hang without feet touching the floor?  The pics do not show that as an option.

Accepted Answer

Hanging with your feet not touching the floor actually does not work in getting your back to decompress and stretch. By lifting your legs, you engage the core muscles of the back and abdomen not allowing your back to stretch. The muscles act like splints holding your spine in its normal posture. By leaving your feet on the ground and using the different stances you can actually focus your stretch depending on which stance you are in. Use your feet for stability and to gently rock in flexion stance.It is a very very powerful stretch when you let gravity due its job. It may take a couple time for your body to completely relax. (This is something new and your body doesn't know what to expect, this is normal)Start with 3-5 minutes a day...that's it. Then after a week or so increase to 10 minutes going thru the different stances. Once you get up to 10 minutes you will notice some differences in how you feel and move.Thanks for the question.

Question 2

Can you just attach it to some hooks in the door frame ?

Accepted Answer

If the hooks are strong enough and you can manipulate the straps above your head and all is spaced perfectly, I guess that you could.  But, the chinning bar is good quality and easy to install if you have door trim on at least one side of the door.  However, I found the entire harness worthless to me, as it just slips up into your armpits, hurts badly, and pain negates any benefit you might have gotten.  I weigh 250.  Maybe if you weigh 150 and have an "Air Force Cadet" physique, it may work for you.  I sent mine back and ended up paying freight both directions.  Disappointed!

Question 3

How long are the straps?  I am 5'5" and have 8' doors - will this device work with those parameters?

Accepted Answer

It works for me but the important thing is the pull up bar!! The harness will fit no matter what but you have to make sure you have the right pull up bar that'll fit your door.

Question 4

How to determine size?

Accepted Answer

My boobs are squished, so I really should’ve gotten a large. But chest size is what the package says
