Weight Lifting Rod Hooks Heavy Duty Wrist Wraps Power Weight Lifting Training Gym Grips Straps Set of 2

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.

These things are great. My grip on RDL’s was giving out and now it’s not even a problem thanks to these hooks. It helps with all my pull exercises.

Size is great. Good quality. Let’s lift heavy

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!

Very solid and durable, and difficult to beat at this price point. I have been using then 2-3 sessions a week for the past 4 years and still holding up nicely aside from the padding that inevitably got deformed. The size option is great as I have smaller hands and wrists- not many brands offer this flexibility. Edit- taking two stars off. I bought another one and the quality is great but what happened is that they made the hook longer and narrower. As a result my dumbells don’t sit flush anymore they hang somewhere toward the bottom with some gap underneath . The second issue was that, it is more difficult to grab the dumbell over or near the hook now/ somehow it became less ergonomic thanks to the longer and shallower hook I went back to using the old hooks from the same brand and will look for a new brand unfortunately

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.

This is my 2nd pair of these hooks. I love them for deadlifts and some rowing movements. The best hook around!

I cant recommend this enough. I got it when I was getting into lifting weights, it help a lot when doing deadlifts with the wrist issues I had. They are built tough with the metal hook and a decent amount of padding.

buen grip, comodo garcias a su neopreno, se justan bien a la muñeca y se tira bien en los ejercicios, no hay que estar enroscando como con las straps, aunque eso va en gustos, te permite entrenar mejor si tienes lesiones en antebrazo tipo epicondilitis, codo de golfista etc.... en los ejercicios de traccion como los encogimientos de hombros, en general van muy bien.

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.

J’ai voulu tester les crochets pour remplacer les classiques sangles. Le problème est que la longueur du crochet n’est bien sûr pas réglable et donc ne correspond pas à la morphologie de toutes les mains. Résultat, après un seul et unique essai, une déchirure au niveau du poignet !

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.
