Harbinger Lifting Hooks, Black/Blue

I've been meaning to purchase lifting hooks for a while now and I finally got around to it. I did a lot of research on lifting hooks before I decided to buy this particular model. I wanted something sturdy, strong, and comfortable. When I received this product in the mail I was a little surprised by how far apart the hooks are from each other, and how skinny the hooks were. I was worried that I had invested in the wrong model, but I decided to try it out anyway. I was surprised at how effective these lifting hooks were. They allowed me to lift much heavier weight, with much better form. I also paid close attention to the hooks and they didn't bend at all; these hooks are very sturdy. Also, the part that wraps around your wrist is very comfortable. The material is strong and quality. The rubber around the hooks are very nice as well. The only thing I didn't like was how far apart the hooks were, but this wasn't a big deal. I would definitely recommend these to a friend.

They are very good, I don't use heavy weights but they work for my booty excercises

These lifting hooks are a great addition to my workout regime because I can work out muscle groups longer than my grip can hold out. This makes for a much better workout overall. The hooks are made from excellent materials and is comfortable.Con: The plastic coating on the metal hooks has torn and is not going to last long. I plan on dipping it into Flex Seal and hopefully that will last longer.Overall, Great product.

I bought these because I thought the concept was practical. At first, they were just okay. I figured there would be some adjustment period. Usually I use the old-school wrist straps. After using these hooks for two weeks, I developed a pain in my right elbow, one that I've never experienced and I've been working out for decades. (Usually I've developed pain in the forearm region). I went to a chiropractor and got a Tens machine. When I place the pads of the area of pain I notice that it always results in a twitching of the right ring and pinkie fingers. Then I recalled that when using these hooks, I emphasized the ring and pinkie fingers. I think it's just how these hooks fall on my hand from the wrist straps. It's a good product, but just not for me.UPDATED APRIL 12, 2107Harbinger responded to my review and requested that I contact them which I did. Harbinger send to me a website to other Harbinger weight lifting straps and offered to send me a pair of my choosing. I requested the Harbinger Big Grip No-Slip Nylon Lifting Straps with DuraGrip because they were the closest match to the old school weight straps that I have been using for decades. I received them quickly and have been using them since. I find them better than the old school weight straps aforementioned. The DuraGrip on the underside of the straps really do grip the barbell/dumbbell. Harbinger did not ask that I return my original purchase, nor did they charge me for the replacement straps. I do not like the harbinger Lifting Hooks, but I changed my rating based on Harbinger's customer service.

Horrible hooks. They are weak as hell. They barely fit the bar and one of them got bent the first time i was using them for rack pullsI want to say maybe at 400lbs i was doing not even very heavy weight for a rack pull. Plus the worst part is they felt like they were slipping.Haulin hooks are pricier but are MUCH MUCH stronger and the velcro attachment is better.Get these instead:https://www.amazon.com/Muscle-Haulin-ORIGINALS-Weight-Lifting/dp/B00YHLFRPG

i bought a jayefo brand alternative (same as dmoose and others) to help me with dead hangs for shoulder stretching. They ripped after 1.5 years and revealed that the steel had sharp burrs that slowly ripped the fabric. the product advertised a lifetime warranty but the company is impossible to contact. very sloppy quality and service.i bought the harbinger hooks as a replacement and I could instantly tell that the design and build quality is way better and definitely worth twice the price of the jayefo. They're slightly more comfortable and way more durable; no sharp burrs to rip the fabric. The hook design lets me rest my fingers on the bar instead of a hook. i trust harbinger to follow through on a warranty if necessary much more than faceless chinese resellers

I bought these hooks specifically for deadlifts. My hands would grow tired way before my legs and I felt like I was not maximizing my lifts. First, I am a physique competitor and not a power lifter so I am not overly concerned with how much weight, I just want to perform an exercise correctly and maximize the gains on the body part I'm working. So, these are perfect for the power lifter as well as for the person concerned with maximum hypertrophy. The hooks are unobtrusive and the strap fits securely on the wrist without pulling on the wrist joint during a lift. I generally perform deadlifts in the 225-275 range and now my hamstrings can perform the amount of reps I want without my hands giving out on me. VERY pleased with this purchase

To help save my back I moved my heaviest deadlifts to a trap bar, but that made using my double loop lifting straps difficult to use . These work well, though I have giant hands , and the hooks don’t line up with my fingers. It’s not too bad for relatively short duration 1-5 reps heavy deadlift, but begins to get uncomfortable when I use them for farmers walks after my grip gives out after 4-5 sets. Also it doesn’t always want to hold the first time I put them on , requiring a 2nd go cinching them down. I realized this by tugging on them, and have not had them fail mid lift.
