Napa, California – February 9, 2006 – Harbinger, the leader in workout gloves and fitness accessories, introduces its new Get a Grip and Lift in Comfort with Two New Training Aids for your Wrists and Ankle

Lifting Hooks and Neoprene Padded Ankle Cuff: training aids that help you train in comfort while you strengthen and tone the muscles in your back, shoulders and legs.  

Lifting Hooks

To make sure that you're working the muscles in your arms and not your fingers, try Harbinger's new Lifting Hooks. They'll help you get a grip, keep your hands cool, and lessen finger fatigue while doing shrugs, dead lifts, cable rows, and lat pull downs. By wearing them, you'll be able to increase your weight load and as a result, train more efficiently.

Thanks to the Velcro® closure, they adjust to fit your wrists perfectly and the hooks attach and detach easily helping you achieve your workout quicker and more effectively. The 1mm padded wrist support keeps your wrist in the proper position and prevents hyperextension. Each of the custom-engineered steel, durable hooks can support up to 825 pounds and will last thousands of sets thanks to the Ballistic nylon construction. The Lifting Hooks come in black and retail for $20.

Neoprene Padded Ankle Cuff

Before starting your leg routine at the weight stack cable equipment, be sure to strap on Harbinger's new Neoprene Padded Ankle Cuff. Attach the steel “D” ring of the cuff to any cable pulley system and work your legs at every angle possible to strengthen your abductors and adductors.

It features an adjustable Velcro® closure to customize the fit, and 4.5mm Neoprene padding for added comfort during training. The steel “D” ring holds up to 750 pounds of stackable weight. The black Neoprene Padded Ankle Cuff retails for $10.
