Thanks Smalljay, I ordered a \"miracle slider\" on ebay. It was fairly cheap and a few guys on PEGym said they really liked it. They recommend ordering a second one so you can use two straps at once increasing comfort. I saw lots of reports of bad experiences with the nooses, so I will stick with the straps. I will check back in if I see some results down the road in 6 or 12mo.
I had the ESL40 a few years ago but neither the med nor large ever fit me properly so I never used them. Also I am just not a big fan of the ADS concept. I would rather use an extender. Just my personal preference.
But thanks for the reply and hope you are recovering.
