Serious Steel Fitness Weightlifting Thumb Tape - Hook Grip Tape Stretchy Athletic Tape Thumb Tape (3-Pack Pink)

The hook grip is an essential and necessary grip for both the snatch and clean.

To properly position the grip, the athlete must have a full grip on the bar, with the thumb tucked inside the fingers, with the fingers pulling the thumb around the bar.

Athletes, especially among new athletes, will find that the hook grip can cause small blisters.

Athletes will also find that in high rep work the hook grip can become a bit uncomfortable.

Utilizing an elastic thumb tape can help alleviate this discomfort and improve the grip where the thumb meets the bar.
