Power Hooks For Dumbbells - Pair |
POWER HOOKS FOR DUMBELLS are Gym Approved! Power Hooks help to eliminate the stress and injury concerns of heavy dumbbell training. Ever wish you had two big guys to hand you the dumbbells when you were already on the bench? Ever wonder how many more reps you could get if you didnt have to waddle over to the bench and try to get into pressing position without killing yourself? Power Hooks (Patent # 5971339) allow you to hang your dumbbells on an overhead bar, eliminating the problem of lifting heavy dumbbells directly from the floor/rack and into the proper starting position. The hook straps (leather with velcro) secure onto your dumbbell handle and will not come loose during the lift. Power Hooks fit any dumbbell handles and the steel construction is stress tested to 1000 lbs. Weight: 2 lbs. Power Hooks stay with your dumbbells and hang onto any overhead barbell. This puts you in proper lifting position without having to lift the dumbbell from the floor nor having to drop them back onto the floor after the exercise. It is physically impossible to clear or kick up the dumbbell weight that you can actually press. So if you are clearing or kicking up dumbbells to get in a pressing movement you will never work out with the dumbbell weight you should be pressing. This is one reason why many lifters do not think they get any strength gain training with dumbbells. Working with heavy dumbbells using Power Hooks will improve your bench press better then working with chains, bands or any auxiliary exercise. If you had your training partners hand you the dumbbells you still would not get the same advantage that Power Hooks would give you due to the effective preload that Power Hooks give you. The easiest way to understand preloading is to imagine barbell benches which hold the weight and barbell above the head before we bench press. Do you think you could work out with the same weight taking the barbell from the floor or at chest level? By being able to take the barbell off the uprights you get a preload. This allows the nervous system to be ready for the lift; therefore, youre able to handle much more weight resulting in maximum exercise benefit. Preloading has shown to give strength and muscle gains and prevent injuries. Without the preloading you also cannot train with the intensity that someone can with Power Hooks. There are dumbbell benches on the market that help you get a preload but they have many problems that in actuality Power Hooks have solved. One problem is that dumbbell benches have fixed lifting points. This means you have to take the dumbbells from a fixed point and after working out with the dumbbells return the dumbbells to the same fixed point. Even if you can adjust the dumbbell bench to a good lifting position, returning the dumbbells to the same point could be very difficult, due to the fact that your stabilizer muscles fatigue very quickly.
