I really like hanging on cheap small 3” C clamps from Walmart in my basement. Since I only use straps with a becket hitch as my suspension it works out wonderfully. Thread the clamp through the sewn loop and tighten to the unfinished joist of the floor above. Make sure you are putting pressure on the solid part of the clamp and not the screw. Always use proper angles and check them from time to time if you leave them up. Been doing this way for years. Also I hang inline to blocking that is in the ceiling. I don’t thing it’s necessary but it gives me piece of mind.

One last thing and I’m done haha. Raise the foot end higher than the head end and you won’t slide to the middle as much.
