Weight Lifting Hooks Pair Heavy Duty Wrist Straps for Deadlifts Pull Ups Rows & Shrugs Padded Wrist Support with Anti-Rip Nylon Straps Gym Workout Grips for Men & Women

I've been using cloth and then leather lifting straps for years. They never seem to last very long regardless of the material. Regular straps are time consuming to properly wrap around a bar or a dumbbell. I got about a year out of my last pair of Schiek leather lifting straps I used them 3-4 days a week doing shoulder shrugs on a bar with 315 - 495 pounds, pull-ups, abdominal pull downs, side bends and upper back shrugs on an incline bench. Time for a new approach. These hooks arrived and I got two solid workouts with them and I can tell they are perfect for my purposes. I'll use the "pro" and "con" approach: Pro - securely attach to wrists, heavy duty Velcro and coated metal lifting hooks. The biggest advantage I see with these lifting hooks over traditional cloth/leather wrist straps is that there is NO "wrapping time" with the hooks versus straps. Wrapping with any wrist strap is sort of an art and it's also time consuming. Not having to wrap the hooks speeds up my workout, allows me to do faster sets and transition between exercises more rapidly. I can do heavy bar weight or sets of ten pull-ups relying only on the hooks, not my hands which is great for me because I have multiple hand injuries from 40 years of ice hockey along with arthritis. These straps may also potentially prevent forearm tendinitis down the road. On other advantage of the hooks over straps is that it's easier to replace dumbbells on the rack without the long strap getting caught under a dumbbell and potentially pulling it off the rack when you walk away. Con - The downside of these hooks is that unlike flexible straps, I can't put the hooks into my pockets Because they are so well made, they are a bit heavy - the metal hooks are solidly constructed. If you work out a gym bag in the gym this is not an issue. The other small negative I noticed was hook slippage when using a short, straight bar for downward abdominal pull downs. Despite being coated with a heavy duty non-slip surface, the hooks had a tendency to slip to the end of the bar if I did not pull down with equal force on each hook. From now on, I'll use a zig-zag bar on ab pull downs to avoid any slippage. I was using 405 pounds on a bar doing shoulder shrugs today and completely let go of the bar with my hands and let the straps do all the work. No discomfort, no loss of control and I felt completely comfortable with the construction and the ergonomics. When lifting upwards, even with weights approaching 500 pounds on a standard 45 pounds gym bar there was NO slippage. Bottom line is that so far, based on the data cited above, I like these lifting hooks and feel confident with them as a better alternative to traditional wrist straps. . One side note. There was a small card in the order asking me to create a 1- 3 minute video review. In exchange for doing that video review, the manufacturer offered to refund the purchase price of the hooks or send me an extra pair for free. I may do a video review of these lifting hooks down the road but I'll decline the "freebie" offer. I think the moment any reviewer takes compensation for their opinion, that opinion is tainted. I staunchly refuse to be part of the "paid reviewer" process. I'm not Robert Parker or James Suckling, the shadily "compensated" wine critics - my opinion can't be bought. I'd be wary of any glowing video review for any product on Amazon because it may be a paid/planted review and not every reviewer may confess to being paid or having been offered to be paid. I will report back on these lifting hooks when I get more experience with them.

Sturdy and multi applicable to other workout programs

Have used this to load up for shoulder shrugs and dead lifts using a cap bar. Made up for grip that couldn't hold what i was lifting. Came at the sacrifice of a little wrist pain die to the design. Trick is to let the curved part be a second set of fingers, and less reliant on the wrist. These are great!

Wouldn't recommend them for lifting as you cannot make the metal loops any tighter against a bar / dumbbell. I would recommend them for arm hangs. I am using them to try and regain mobility in my shoulder, and the ability to hang from an overhead bar without using muscles to assist, has been helping with my range of motion.

Heavy weight can slip out of these while deadlifting or doing lat pull downs.

Great quality

Uncomfortable to use. The metal piece gets in the way and grabs the weight in such an odd way you may drops the weights on your face for the lack of traction

For the past 20 years I have been a "for free, volunteer" trainer in the gym for the elderly, the obese, the disabled and especially the disabled-in-action veterans returning from overseas deployment. I myself am addicted to Heavy Iron and especially working with dumbbells. I have always been able to hold the 150 lb. dumbbells when training my back and biceps and doing squats and traps with a trap bar, until I myself became partially disabled from an accident and lost my left middle finger and permanently paralyzed my left index finger. I already had a pair of lifting hooks that I used to help the individuals I was training in the gym because of their similar disabilities but the distance between the two hooks was too narrow to accommodate the wider bars in the gym. This item is much wider and not only accommodates the wider bars but also has a rubberized hook so not to damage the existing gym bars, handles and other accessories in the gym. I have 7 different gym memberships and have actually had several gym staff to question me during use of these hooks, concerning me possibly damaging the bars of the pulling machines. I also can continue doing pull-ups using these hooks whereas I could not hold my 6'8", 320 lb. frame for more than 5 pull-ups. With these hooks, I can crank out 12 to 15 pull-ups. Additionally, the straps for the wrist are a heavy-duty rubberized foam material and do not cut into my skin like my other hooks do, allowing me to pull a much heavier weight than before. I will be 50 this month and feel like am 33, due to lifting heavy weight, especially with the aid of these hooks.

He usado las muñequeras un par de días. Muy útiles en mi caso para los entrenamientos de espalda, pues en los ejercicios de jalón me cansaba antes el antebrazo y las manos que el propio músculo. También las he probado para peso muerto, descarga mucha presión sobre las manos. El producto en si tiene muy buen aspecto. Buenos materiales y un tacto agradable. Repetiría sin duda la compra.

Article vraiment intéressant, moi qui utilisais des sangles de tirage depuis longtemps, je suis vraiment surpris de la différence qu'apporte ce produit. Plus de perte de temps à enrouler la sangle autour de la barre, là, on place les crochets et on y va. De plus le confort est remarquable, la solidité aussi. Grâce aux crochets, on focalise vraiment le travail sur les dorsaux, les sensations lors de l'exécution sont décuplées. Je le recommande à tous les pratiquants, car moi-même qui au début n'étais pas convaincu de l'efficacité de ce produit, l'essayer, c'est l'adopter. Comparé à d'autres marques qui proposent le même style de produit, celui-ci est vraiment de qualité supérieure.

Go for it blindly when you have severe calluses which impinge on your progressive overload journey for barbell exercises like rows, shrugs or the underrated deadlifts! When you have calluses torn so deep underneath, there is every possibility of the thin skin getting susceptible to tear which may require medical attention. This is my savior! Glad there are people who bring out products like this.

凄く気に入ってます。 当方、腕が太く、腕で引いてしまうので背中に上手く入りませんでした。 前腕の働きを抑える事で、上腕も主張し過ぎず、肘を後ろに引く事に集中出来ます。 普段より4レップほど追い込めました。 背中、伸び悩んでる方は使ってみてはどうでしょうか。

Great high quality and great mandatory for people who use heavy weights... I like it
