DMoose Fitness Weight Lifting Hooks (Pair) for Deadlifts, Pull Ups, Rows & Shrugs - Anti-Rip Nylon Strap Hand Grips with Thick Wrist Padding - Heavy Duty Wrist Straps for Weightlifting & Gym Workouts

I had never seen lifting hooks in the gym before and did not know anything about them. I found out about them from a friend who is an engineer and was on the Penn State swimming team. So, he knows about biomechanics and sports training and when he recommended them I paid close attention. It is amazing the things one can learn if one listens, eh? Anyway, I like using them at the gym and they enable me to increase the amount of weights I can pull since they take the strain off my fingers. They are useful for certain exercises like rows where you are pulling a bar or handle towards you. I have not found a way to use them for other types of exercises like bench presses where you are pushing the bar away. However, you can keep them on your wrist at all times if you want since the hooks can hinge out of the way when you are not using the hooks. Another thing i like is that you can also wear gloves if you want to while you are using the hooks. These are very well-constructed and sturdy. I have had them for a few months and I don't see any sign that they will fall apart. For example, the velcro is very sticky and the straps are very thick and robust. I sometimes wonder why lifting hooks are not used more often at the gym. If anyone out there know of any reasons why they are not more popular or if there are any drawbacks to using them please let me know. I would greatly appreciate your input.

These weightlifting hooks help me push past the limits of my grip strength, allowing me to focus on the weight without worrying about my hands giving out. Compared to lifting straps, these hooks are way easier to use. Instead of taking time to wrap the straps, you just hook them on and go. They feel durable enough to last several years, maybe even through your entire lifting career. The Velcro straps are sturdy and secure. The one downside is that you can’t quickly release the weight by opening your hands like you would with straps. To detach the weight, you have to move the hook in the opposite direction of the bar, so don’t use these for pull-ups. You can actually get stuck mid-air if you’re not careful. They even offer a bit more hand protection than lifting straps. These hooks are a solid investment.

4-6 minutes a day bar hanging for past 3 months. Could never do that without hooks without straining wrists badly. Convinced is really helping both my severely injured shoulders heal along with very light DB lifts front, side, rear, palms toward floor. Tried other stuff for 2-3 years with no real change. It's slow tho Main point here-No visible signs of wear yet at weight 175 lb so would call them well made.

I picked these up specifically for shoulder 'hanging' therapy. Very happy with this model. Well constructed and comfortable. These immediately made an impact to my ability to increase my time 'hang time'

I use them for anything with metal bars. Deadlifts are easy and amazing with t these to grip. I cannot recommend enough. You need this sturdy leather and multi-use. Black looks cool a f.

I would agree with another reviewer of these weightlifting hooks that gave this product 3 stars. I experienced exactly the same problem as this gentleman. I could not grab anything to feel securely enough to perform any movement whether it was lat pulldown or pullups on the bar. Due to geometry of the hook, it feels like it can slip from whatever you are holding to. Also, the metal part of the hook would press into my palm, and if you use let’s say something well over 100lbs in one hand, it is not very pleasant experience. Unfortunately, these hooks are not for me, but your mileage might vary. I would give 5 starts for materials and build quality because it looks pretty good, and appears that it might hold up for a few months, maybe years possibly, but I have to give 3 starts for the practicality of these hooks, since I can’t use them.

I do not use it for weight lifting but for use on an indoor rowing machine. Absent the hook, the bar puts pressure on my tendons and has already caused trigger finger. Using the hooks is not quite the same, but it provides me with a way to use the rowing machine.

Life saving if you want to lift heavy, very great grip and stability strong material and looks nice, I don’t have anymore problem of grip and I can focus on the exercise that I’m doing

Excellent product, works exactly as described, have now bought a few products from this seller and always great value and quality

Super

Worst product material not good .. hook lose h

The padding in the straps of the product are not all the way around so when you try to lift weights, esp heavier weights, it really puts a strain on your wrist. Left a really bad mark on mine as seen in the photo. Better to get a normal lifting strap.

Strong and holds weight
