   I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend them to anyone. They’re easy to put on and tighten around my wrists. I’m a 5ft.6in. female and weight about 122lbs. so I don’t have really big hands and they are doing the job of keeping me from losing my grip on my heavy dumbbells.
   
   The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the velcro is SO good, that they’re not as quick to remove as they are to put on. No biggie. Good product, can’t beat the price!

   I work out with my brother and he owns these hooks. I have used them many times. When I went out and bought my own. I bought these expensive models from a big brand company thinking they would be better, and they were usless. They had one very small hook per hand and they felt like they were going to slip of the bar.I didn’t feel safe using them. So now they stay in the bottom of my gym bag to lend to buddies at the gym.I bought my own Spri pro line lifting hook and they work great. They have two large hooks per hand. I no longer feel like the bar and gym equipment handles will slip out of the hooks. Plus some of the gym equipment have thick padded handles and these hooks are big to wrap around them.

   At my gym, many of the grips are padded. This padding makes the grip thicker or bigger in diameter; now the lifting hook no longer fits.

   Roughly 50% of the back excercises have to be done on some sort of machine (rather than just using a bar + wieght or dumbells). Probably want to check all the excercise that in your routine and insure that they don’t have any sort of padding on the grip.

   Also, it is difficult to set minute adjustments on the hook’s height in your hand. Example, if you have the strap too tight, the hooks may hold the bar up by your thumb. Have the strap too loose, and the bar may be down by your second knuckle (when ideally you’d have the bar in the middle of your palm).

   More expensive versions of lifting hooks have two options for positioning the hook so they better fit ones hand. Those tend to be very expensive. So I opted for these. Ideally the base of the hooks should fall at the base of your fingers when in use. On my hands the hooks don’t fit in the ideal position, about 3/8″ off towards my wrist. I still find them functional with a couple draw backs.

   They just do fit over the rubber grips on the free motion lat pull down machine at the gym. But they fit so snug that it is a bit difficult to remove them. Keep in mind that while removing the first hook you don’t have a free hand to help get the hooks off the rubber grip. Gets easier after one gets used to it.

   I only use these for lat pull downs and for chin ups. Those are the two exercises that really tax my grip. I do those exercise first so I can take the hooks off for the remainder of my exercises.

   One of the hooks came with jagged metal flash on the end of one hook that I had to file down so it would fit over the bar. No big deal. Chances are most of them wouldn’t be like that.
