WHY USE ECCENTRIC BENCH/SQUAT HOOKS? Enhanced muscle engagement: By emphasising the eccentric phase, where the muscle elongates under tension, these hooks can increase muscle strength and size more effectively than concentric-focused training. The eccentric phase is important because it generates greater muscle damage and stimulates more growth, making it particularly popular with bodybuilders. Increased strength in sticking points: They enable overloading in the eccentric phase, helping to strengthen the points in your lift where you're typically weakest. Versatility: Suitable for various exercises, these hooks can be adjusted for height and accommodate different training needs, allowing for paused reps, controlled descents, and explosive ascents. Safety: When set correctly, the hooks unload the weight as soon as it touches the ground, preventing overexertion and reducing the risk of injury. FEATURES Adjustable height: With 30mm increments available, you can customize the hook height from 58cm to 106cm to match your specific range of motion for different exercises. Robust construction: Designed to support heavy loads with a solid base that ensures stability during use. Compatibility: These hooks are made for standard 50 mm Olympic plates.

FAQ Can beginners use these hooks?While eccentric hooks are usually used by experienced lifters, a beginner can also use them. However, we recommend that beginners interested in using these hooks do so under supervision to ensure proper technique and safety. How do I adjust the height of the hooks?The hooks can be easily adjusted in 30 mm increments, allowing for precise setup depending on the exercise and your range of motion.
