JD Max Fitness is offering a new patent pending "why didnt someone think of this before" product named Hookers to aid in the ability of an individual to perform an Olympic squat with improved ergonomics and functionality. Hookers are applied to an Olympic barbell allowing an individual to hold and stabilize the barbell approximately six inches to the front. This had grip variation eliminates shoulder impingement, rotator cuff strain and lower back hyperextension while still maintaining trapezius dorsi contraction to protect the cervical spine. Hookers have an alternating hook system that retrofit to any Olympic barbell, easily hooking to the barbell and providing a secure and safe alternative to traditional, less ergonomically sound Olympic squatting techniques. Hookers are the first and only product designed to effectively and easily improve the Olympic squat exercise. JD Max Fitness Hookers are also useful for performing Olympic bar shrugs, dead lifts, lunges, smith squats and smith lunges.
