I recently put the 2026 edition of these Weight Lifting Hook Grips to the test during my heavy back days. I wanted to see if the integrated wrist wraps could actually alleviate the strain I usually feel in my forearms during high-volume sets.
The construction feels robust, with heavy-duty materials designed to withstand the tension of powerlifting without fraying. The hook mechanism is securely attached to the padding, and the wrist wraps provide enough rigidity to stabilize the joint under load while still feeling comfortable against the skin.
Using these in the gym is intuitive; you simply slide your wrists in, cinch the wraps, and hook onto the bar. There was virtually no learning curve, and I found that my grip strength was no longer the limiting factor for my deadlifts and pull-ups.
These are ideal for anyone who finds their grip failing before their target muscle groups during heavy pulling movements.
These grips are a game-changer for anyone looking to increase their lifting volume safely. Earning a solid 5/5 rating, they are easily worth the $39.00 investment for the added stability they provide.
