What do you guys prefer to use, straps or hooks? I'm using hooks right now for the first time. Good-don't have to wrap them around the bar, just grab and go. Bad- when my hands begin to fail it sometimes feels as if the bar is going to roll out of the hook, especially when doing shrugs or deads.

Straps gives me double the security of making sure I'm in control of the weight. Hooks are really only good for a quick grab and release exercise.Comment

Straps are just a pain to put on, but they give a secure tight feeling when I use them.Comment
