Ok, goofy question for any gym rats, trainers or fitness folks out there… What is the better technique for doing hanging knee raises; hanging from a bar with straight arms, or with my weight supported using elbow straps? I’m stepping up my ab workouts and want to include knee raises. I work out in the basement, which has only 7’-1” clearance under the floor joists. My options are: 1, I can fix a grip bar up in between the floor joists, such that I can effectively hang, straight armed, without bending my legs and have my feet just off the floor. 2, I can pick up a set of elbow straps and position them to lift my feet the same distance off the floor as option one. Either option is fine, I just want to confirm which starting position is better for abdominals, arms up or down?

Just as the title asks. I'm thinking about starting, there's a place here in town, $90 a month for coach led classes every day. I have no idea what to do to even get started in a gym, or even on my own, so I NEED some leadership and encouragement. I know they also change the workout every day. What can I expect? Any reason why I should NOT do it? What would be better? Discuss.
