RDX Weightlifting Hook-Straps.
Hook straps are designed for serious weight trainers who want to reduce impact of grip fatigue by letting the rubber coated steel hooks take the grip strain.
Made from anti rust material, the rubber coated steel hooks are rated to 272kg or 600lb if you’d prefer. With premium neoprene padding around the wrists you will still feel comfort at the heavier weights, and your will not feel fabric hacking into your wrists. The neoprene wrist support is attached with reenforced double stitching to the premium nylon straps that wont tap out under strict pressure.
Ideal for use during shrugs, deadlifts, chin ups and rows. Ultimately hook straps are designed to isolate the main moving muscle.
Made from:
* 8mm Premium Neoprene Wrist Support.
* 40cm High Quality Nylon and Velcro strap.
* 11cm Rubber Coated Stainless Steel Hook.
Are hook straps better than standard straps?
This comes down to the style of strength training you are training in. If you are an active strongman, grip is king in so many events that ultimately it would not be overly beneficial using hook straps. If you are body-building hook straps are amazing. This is due to the fact that they allow you to isolate muscle groups without the limitation of grip. For example if you are a doing lat pull downs on a cable machine, you can hook the rubber coated steel hook over the bar and pull more knowing the bar will not slip away.
