Hey, I'm Jason, the inventor of Pump Hooks (and the guy in the video above). I get it—when you first see Pump Hooks, you might think,
"Can't I just grab a band and do this myself?" or "Why not just lift heavier weights?"
These are valid questions. And the truth is, you could get by without them—but here’s why Pump Hooks are worth considering:
"Can’t I just do this without Pump Hooks?"
Sure, you can hold onto a band and a dumbbell at the same time. You can wrap a band around a barbell or dumbbell. (Good luck with even tension on that btw)
But it’s awkward, time-consuming, and honestly, not as effective.
Pump Hooks are designed to make this process quicker and safer, giving you more control over your grip so you can focus on lifting, not fidgeting with setup.
The less time you spend adjusting, the more time you spend building muscle.
"Why not just lift heavier weight?"
Lifting heavier isn’t always the answer. The science behind adding variable resistance (like bands) shows that it can create more tension throughout the full range of motion, helping you break plateaus and build muscle in ways traditional weight alone can't.
Plus, Pump Hooks let you add this resistance without sacrificing your grip or risking injury.
No fitness accessory is absolutely necessary. But if you’re looking to add accommodating resistance to your workouts the easy way, Pump Hooks can be your secret weapon. They’re designed to take the stress out of setup and let you focus on what matters—getting stronger.
But That’s Not All...
Pump Hooks aren’t just for adding resistance bands to dumbbells or barbells. They’re incredibly versatile:
- Connect chains and cables (not just bands)
- Weighted pull-ups and dips with dumbbells
- Resistance band pull-ups for progressive strength
- Loaded belt squats to build powerful legs
- Attach them to cable machines for unique setups
- Easy load/de-load design for progressive overloading and drop sets
It’s not just about one thing—they open up a whole range of exercises, making them a game-changer for any home gym setup.
Sometimes it's about simplifying your setup so you can push your limits even further.
Pump Hooks make your home gym workouts easier to manage, so you can focus on making them tougher—and more effective.
And I just think they're an absolute blast to use! Thanks for reading.
