Hooker lifting strap broke

[TylerT]

Are these things total crap or something? I had one break while doing powershrugs, only 315 pounds! I used them a whopping 6 times, another pair is being sent to me free of charge, but should I expect these to break as well? Should I just get some regular straps?

That sucks that they broke after only 6 times of use, I'd say give the next pair they send you a chance, but if those break too I would ask for a refund and just buy a good pair of straps.

hooker as in metal hook style straps? I'd never use them.

Buy some traditional cloth (cotton or poly)... they last a damn long time no matter what you get usually. Cheap too.

Use your hands. They don't break as easy. I have heard of guys using old seat belts out of cars as straps. Me thinks those would hold up really well and would be cheap or maybe free.

That does suck. I used to use a pair of cheap $5 ones that I had a couple years with 725 for rack pulls. They lived forever, until I lost one of them.
