Review: Solidly built, ergonomically comfortable, secure for even heavy bar weight. - 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 desertcart 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. Review: Deadlift more - Size is great. Good quality.

That seems to be a fairly common complaint with other brands of similar types of products.** A: The neoprene is flexible and does not pinch my wrists at all. I have relatively small wrists too. I love these hooks. Very well made. I have tried three other brands and these are the ones I use daily. I can say well made because I am using them in a way they are not manufactured to be used. I have a broken metacarpal in my left hand so I can not make a fist. The hook is allowing me to continue to do pull ups, rows, and a slew of other lifts that would otherwise keep me out of the gym. **Q: do they fit most bars and pullup bars in the gym?** A: Yes, these fit most bars at the gym **Q: will this help with deadlift?** A: Yes. I purchased this because I've damaged my left hand; pinky and index finger do perform about 50% so I could not pull lat bar with adequate weight. Will work for dead lifts as well, I would alternate grip (left over - right under). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solidly built, ergonomically comfortable, secure for even heavy bar weight. *by R***T on October 26, 2015* I've been using cloth and then leather lifting straps for years.
