Since the equipment does not wrap all the way around the bar like with a lifting strap, lifting hooks are much less secure. Experienced lifters use straps to target specific muscle groups and extend their time during tension. Because of the sequential recruitment of muscle fibers, if we fatigue our type 2b fibers (very important for those training for size), we have also fatigued all slower twitch fibers in the process. When used correctly and in moderation, weightlifting hooks can be a great tool for the lifters who require them. They feature a very comfortable and ergonomic design, which makes it easier for you to lift the weight, without even noticing the straps.

These weight restrictions severely limit how much weight/how many exercises you can use this equipment for. On the other hand, because you don’t have to take the time to wrap them around the bar and tighten your grip, lifting hooks are much more intuitive and are very quick and easy to secure to the bar before you lift it.
