I bought these primarily for pull-ups, and I couldn't be more pleased. Goodbye pull-up plateau!! I'm 48, and the occasional pain in my hands combined with sweat have me unable to focus on my actual form and muscle isolation, as I'm frequently having to readjust my grip. Today was my first day using them and it was an absolute game-changer. I really felt those pull-ups where I'm supposed to feel them. They also worked great for barbell rows. They're comfortable, snug, and appear to be very durable. 100% Recommend!!

Using these are great for pull weightlifting. I am able to lift heavier weight, not only that. I am using the actual muscle, instead of compensating with my arm strength. Resulting in a much better workout for my back than I’ve ever had. I got more than my moneys worth after one workout.

So I use these for working out because I'm missing fingers and they do what they are intended to do. It's comfortable and the Velcro is strong enough for it not to come off. Overall a good product.

Perfect for what I needed. Help me hold heavier weights and protect my hands. Good grip and quality. Great size and the wrist straps are comfortable

I finally started doing calistenics again at the beginning of this year after suffering a big flare up of serious upper back pain that I have suffered with for over 20 years. I was very surprised that I could still pretty much do 2 pull ups weighing almost 250 lbs at the outset (I used to do pull-ups frequently and sets of 10-15 at well over 200 lbs, but it's been almost 4 years now since I stopped). I got up to almost 5 real pull ups after about 14 weeks of twice per weeks and something in my forearm is now giving me enough pain that I cannot do pull-ups for a while til it heals up. Came across these and thought they would help me continue strength training my upper body while shielding the damaged area. I did some chin ups and and hanging ab work so far with these and they pretty much work exactly as expected. When I was actively strength training, I traditionally only would do calistenics and dumbbell work and never liked any type of assist devices or machines. But getting back into some real strength training pushing 50 years old, I do plan to use these quite a bit beyond just chinups while my forearm heals. Recently I was wondering how many pull-ups can the world's strongest men do. I did the research and found out the winners of strong man competitions really can't do any pull ups at all or maybe just a few sort of pull ups at best. Maybe they could train to do more with a device like this? Seems ridiculous to me that pull ups are not part of strong man competitions.

My hands and wrists can't handle the heavy dumbells I've been using so I tried these. They are easy to put on, I can slide them to the back of my hand when not in use. They work wonderfully and they also fit my tiny wrists. The padding keeps my wrists comfortable.

I’ve been using wrist wraps for back and shoulder days, but today when I got these I used them and what a difference. I felt so much more in my shoulders and back and not so much biceps and triceps! 100% recommend to anyone!

The pull up is the quintessential movement that best reflects a man’s true overall strength…which is why so few can do one or even hang beyond half a minute. It is the standard measure in the USMC and negotiating one’s body weight up a vertical plane brings bearing to a combat soldier. These wrist wraps are better than the elastic band assists because they take tension off the hands, wrists and joints in the elbow that fail first before the larger back and shoulder muscles can be fatigued. Even those who can’t do a dead hang will be able to immediately. These do not eliminate the necessary strength to accomplish the chin up or pull up but motivate to continue the attempt. They are also marvelous for dumbbell or barbell dead lifts, good mornings, bent over rows, instantly engaging the larger muscles targeted. Very well built design, powder coated metal and thick thread web weave design. Great value. Great gift too for any athlete, body builder or even roofer who can use these to carry a 70 pound bundles of shingles.

These attachment bars(shown in pic) for lat movements are excellent and have a great feel to them, however there is no way to use conventional straps on them. These hooks solve that problem and eliminate the "weak link" of your grip thus allowing you to really focus on the "mind to muscle" connection. I have used them on other conventional bars for rowing and "pull downs" and they feel great and allow the "lat focus" you want. They seem well made and I am quite satisfied with this purchase!! (UNLESS YOU ARE A GENETIC FREAK WHICH IS "EXTREMELY" RARE OR PHARMACEUTICALLY ENHANCED THE DURABILITY OF THIS ITEM IS "MORE" THAN ADEQUATE!!)

My husband has been using these wrist straps for the past few months and they’re very reliable!! He lifts very heavy and it’s hard to find wrist straps that are strong enough to support the bar.

These are just like all the more expensive products you see out there and it does the job well. Just like you want and it’s comfortable.

Only regret not getting them sooner, has completely changed my free weight game, mainly sumo squat, sumo deadlift, and RDL

Excellent hand support. I had trouble gripping heavy enough dumbells for leg day and these solved the problem. Excellent quality and performance.

Priced cheap, but not cheaply built. The hooks are thick and have a coating that doesn't slide on the bar. Just did a few sets of heavy shrugs, after a bunch of sets for back and these kept my grip from becoming the limiting factor. Very happy with these.

Work perfectly.. eased the strain allowing me to lift heavier weights without the stress to grip and wrist.

Works for several back exercises. Makes it feel like I can do way more reps and weight. Worth a purchase for sure

I have arthritis on my right hand fingers so I lost my grip strength, thus under lighting by weight for a while. With these claws, now I can go back to lift or pull the usual weight, sometimes even more than before! I use it for lat pull and deadlift. I did pull 15% more weight on last. And gained back some back muscles. And back to old number of reps on deadlift. Thank you!

These straps are great for bar work. They have helped me tremendously with pull-ups and deadhangs. Also, they are great for doing ab work hanging from the bar as you are able to do many more repetitions as you’re not so focused on gripping onto the bar. Highly recommend

Excellent aid in the gym if you suffer from tendinitis. Allows you to still do heavier weights without challenging your grip.

I'm a small woman, so wrapped as tightly as they can go still allows them to spin around my wrists, but the point is to lift heavier weights and when there are dumbbells hanging off them it's not an issue. I use them for rdls, step ups, Bulgarian lunges. By alleviating the tension in my hands,I have better form and focus in addition to going heavier.

I bought these to support me with my deadlifts or whenever I’m lifting heavy weights with my hands. Usually, I struggle with my hands and wrists aching or the palm of my hands blistering because I’m lifting with my bare hands. These really help to protect my hands and give me the support I need to put less straining on my hands and wrists. I would highly recommend these, they make weightlifting a lot better!

This is a great device for those of us (endurance runners, female athletes for example) who want to work on leg strength through dead-lifts and the like. Quite often the limiting factor is not the ability to carry out the lift but the ability to not drop the bar. I can lift a hex-bar with a substantial weight when I have these on my wrists, but would not be able to lift it otherwise because of my relative weakness in my grip strength.

Today it’s June 13th and I’ve had these hooks for about a month. Their amazing. I have increased the weight I use on all my pulling exercises. Example: shrugs , deadlifts, pull-downs and rowing. I recommend them for anyone who works out.

I bought these because I have weak grip and couldn’t hang onto my barbell for heavier deadlifts. Once I got over 225 lbs, my fingers would give out after the third rep. This fixed all that by making sure my hands only have to support the hooks, not grip the bar. The hook is thick and as wide as my palm, so all my fingers can support it, and it has a rubber grip coating. Thick Velcro wrists straps provide compression to support your wrists too. Puts your focus on the lift and not maintaining your grip. At $10, just buy these. They come in a clear nylon zippered bag, so you can keep them paired and stored neatly.

I have boxers elbow and using these takes the pressure off my elbow but also my biceps when I'm doing Lat pulldowns. It also doubles as a wrist band when you want to curl or bench press. Just flip the band around and boom, double purpose.
