Vitamins.co.nz Lifting Hooks

Kimmi: Are these basically lifting straps with less wrapping?

Jase: That is the idea. The pre-curved coated metal hooks sit over a bar or dumbbell, while the neoprene-lined hook-and-loop wraps secure around the wrists.

Kimmi: Good. Fewer origami skills required between sets.

These one-size lifting hooks are designed for pulling movements such as deadlifts, rows, shrugs and pulldowns. They use nylon-covered metal hooks with neoprene-lined wrist wraps.

Use and safety: Inspect the hooks, stitching and fasteners before every use. Secure both wraps correctly and start with a light load to check fit. Do not use damaged equipment or treat hooks as a substitute for safe technique, suitable loading or supervision. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions and stop if you feel pain, numbness or loss of control.
