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.

Eccentric hooks/weight releasers

Good product overall, I’ve found two things that could be improved though (hence the 4 stars and not five). 1: the space between the bottom (where you put your plate(s) and the first hole (where you put the screw) is kind of small so if you add for exemple a bumper or even a « chubby » weight you might no have access to that hole (no pun intended..), so if you’re a very short lifter like me, this might be a problem (if you want to benefit the extra weight on the eccentric until you’re at the bottom of your squat for exemple). 2: the screws are tedious to put in place, I sometimes lose patience and just insert pins that are fast and easy to use (but not as secured).
Still very happy overall and I’ve already recommended them to quite a few people.
