    Hand hooks

    I seen this video where this guy was using hooks rather than straps to do rows and pulldown,
    I don't know what they are called or where to get it.

    Anyone know what I'm talking about ?

    I can't find the video to even show it.

    Yeah I bought a set. Hate em they work perfectly on a "standard" bar but my gym has fat grips for rows and pull downs. I got mine at Big 5 they are called "lifting hooks" crazy I know. I still love and use good old fashioned straps.

    I've worked at places that sold them. I've tried them for certain things like shrugs where my grip would give out first. I like straps better

    I haven't used my straps where I can let go the bar, but I feel my straps will rip, how much weight have you let your strap hold? I got the leather ones

    These look weak, the video I seen, the guy let go and the hooks was holding over 150lbs per arm
