That or a set-up to do leg lifts with, while trying to hold your legs straight out as long as possible. I think machines, like the one you've posted above, are weak.
    No workout partner, unfortunately. Do you mean a piece of equipment like this? Just hold it there? Or do up/down reps?

    Yup. And you can do dips with it too of course. I go up and down but I try to hold my legs straight out at the peak for as long as possible. Nothing quite as intense. You'll be lucky to get 8-12 holding for 3-5 seconds.

    so you hold your legs straight out for each rep, or last rep of each set? and then hold for as long as possible?

    Definitely the best equipment for abs.
