wrist hooks

[Metal85]

just used them for the first time in a lonnnnng time yesterday, love em!!! I was shrugging 365 and it was no issue for 10 bc the hooks. I think as I get older the bar gets harder to hold on to lol

Hooks are awesome, I love mine. Much easier to use than the straps.

I have them too, great for deads, shrugs, pulldowns etc. The only drawback is you sacrifice some forearm work in exchange for heavier poundages....

I've never used them, never really needed anything like that. I can hold onto more weight than my back can probably handle. I know at the most I've tried 635 on rack pulls a couple years ago and I was able to hold onto it. I grew up doing a lot of manual labor and I think that's why my grip strength is the way it is

Yea, it's weird, I could deadlift more if my back were as strong as my forearms

Well, it did, but you know, I gotta use some kind of excuse. I must say, that my left hadn used to be weaker until I broke my right arm
