Thanks….. I’m thinking that the bar on the tower might be too big around for the hooks,
as they are designed for barbells, dumbbells, etc…but I have wrist supports that you put
your thumb thru and wrap around the wrists and secure,and I tried that to see if it helped
relieve some wrist strain and believe it or not, it seemed to help! Either that, or I am
stronger than I was last time I used the tower for pull-ups! :)

Was wondering, do you think these would help with pull-ups/chin-ups on the tower. By
that, I mean I grip that bar pretty hard and since it’s a little wider around bar, I think I strain my hands/wrists by gripping so tight, just wondering if they would help by the wrist support and since the hook would go around the bar with hands on top, lessening
my hard grip or not. Does that make any sense?
also, does it say somewhere that the pink is for smaller wrists, as I have tiny wrists…
thanks…

Yay! I don't think I measured right the first time, I took the tape measure around it to get the 5 inches, but
when I did the same thing on my 1 inch barbell, I got like 3+ inches, so I thought, something isn't right....
thanks, I think they would help support wrist, etc in pullups/chinups. I think I'm gonna order the pink ones
tomorrow. "I'm so excited" and "I just can't hide it" :)
 
Just catching up with this thread. The weightlifting hooks are for pull exercises where the weight would normally pull on your hands forcing you to keep your fingers gripped around the weight. They are normally used for deadlifts, barbell rows, dumbbell shrugs and squats, and also pull-ups and lat pulldowns.

You can also use weightlifting straps. I have a pair of straps, but I haven't really used them as I find them too fiddly. You need to wrap the straps around the barbell, or pullup bar etc., and it takes a bit of time to learn to do this properly. I watched several YouTube videos to learn how to use them and it took ages to get them looped around my barbell. I can do one hand OK but once that is looped, I found it hard to get the other hand looped properly. I think the hooks will be easier as you just put them on and go.

They did help but they slow your workout down to get the wrap right.

Yes, I found them impossible to use when I was trying to do a follow along workout, which are most of my workouts. There just isn't time to set up properly. Probably OK if you are doing your own thing and not following along to an instructed workout. Will be interested to know how the hooks work for you and the others who have purchased them.
 
Well girls, the deed is done! :) I ordered the pink hooks and gave me an excuse to order
another one of those door straps for resistance tubing! I have a lesser priced one that
I got before and I really like it. I ordered the one that was a bit more with up to 9 anchor
points depending on the size of your door and with a different mechanism for tightening.
It was only 7 dollars more so........... unfortunately, I'm not a prime member so I had
to pay regular price but got free shipping. I always think, "if I don't like or works well,
I will return"
 
Yay! My last several orders from Amazon came by an Amazon driver. I was walking Jack in the neighborhood recently and I saw this girl stopping at a house, then saw her
get in the car, went a few more houses, got out, etc. Finally we made it close enough to
her and when she got out again and waved again, cause she had waved when she passed us the first time, I said, “You must be an Amazon driver”…..she grinned and
said she was…..
