Gymking Lifting Hooks

Gymking Lifting Hooks

Gymking Lifting Hooks take grip out of the equation on your heaviest pulls. Slide your hand through the padded wrist strap, hook under the bar and lift. There's no wrapping and no re-setting between reps, so your back, traps and legs reach failure before your forearms do.

Why use lifting hooks?

• Train the target muscle, not your grip: keep heavy deadlifts, rows and shrugs going when your hands would normally give out first
• Faster than straps: hook on and go, with no wrapping around the bar
• Padded wrist strap: spreads the load across your wrist for a more comfortable hold
• Stitched strap: the wrist strap is stitched to the hook for a secure connection
• Works across your gym: barbells, dumbbells, trap bars and cable or machine handles

Best for

• Deadlifts and rack pulls
• Barbell, dumbbell and machine rows
• Shrugs
• Lat pulldowns and pull-ups

Not suited to Olympic lifts such as cleans and snatches, where you need to release the bar quickly.

Hooks or straps?

Hooks are quicker to set up and easy to learn. Straps give a tighter connection to the bar for max-effort pulls. Many lifters keep both. See the full range of gloves, grips, straps and belts.
