I have been involved in Iron Sports for over 25 years. In that time I have seen many gadgets come and many gadgets go. Other then my knee wraps, lifting belt and wrist straps I have not found anything necessary.
The problem with wrist wraps: however, is the
trauma to the wrist. The thin straps pull and cause bruising on my wrist, and they are difficult to wrap around the bar in some exercises.
This year I won a set of
Haulin' Hooks at a bodybuilding show and put them to the test the next week. Now after several months they have become my
favorite piece of training equipment. They are
comfortable, easy to use and there is no bar slippage or bungie pulling as is common with traditional lifting straps.
All of the poundage's on my vertical and horizontal pulling movements have increased and I noticed
improved back thickness.
I am really looking foreword to the improvements my back will make this coming season. Thank you
Haulin' Hooks for a great product in a market full of infomercial junk!
