The V-Hooks™ (Sold in pairs) are an excellent accessory for improving positioning during front squats, as well as compensating for limited wrist mobility. Simply by attaching the V-Hooks to any standard barbell, an athlete is able to maintain a neutral wrist while holding the barbell in a solid front rack position.
They definitely help you hold the weight but their slick surface allows them to slide horizontally out of position. They should have a gripper surface inside the hooks. I put some small flat stick-on silicone discs in mine (like for cabinet doors) to help the hooks grip the bar. Now they are 5 stars.
These lifts are perfect for anyone who doesn’t prefer having their wrists bend back for various reasons. I find them to add comfort and stability to my front squats and helps me focus more power to the squat by allowing me to not worry about wrist strain.
The VersaLifts V-Hooks work as advertised, I am 65 years old and was able to perform front squats without any pain in my wrists.
Very helpful for someone with bad wrist flexibility
I have long struggled with wrist pain, to the point that I could no longer do front squats comfortably. Enter V-Hooks! I can now do front squats again without further aggravating my tendons. I am so grateful for this product…V-Hooks are a permanent addition to my gym bag!
