Anybody have these laying around? (Conway lat straps from the 80's)

[yikezzzzzz]

Hi ... I'm a handicapped lifter, and in my youth i came across "Conway lat straps", i think they were advertised in MMI:



I'm almost 50 and have been using a singlke pair of these for like 30ish years; I'm deathly afraid of losing them. I have other straps / hooks that I use but nothing quite works as good as these for heavy deadlifts / rows / etc.

Shot in the dark, but does anyone have a pair of these lying around that they would sell?

Thanks a bunch!

Haven’t seen those in years. Goodluck with your search

I just checked Amazon and they have a variety of hook straps they sell which would meet your needs

Thanks for everyone's replies. Yes, there are many options out there, and I probably bought / used 99% of them. These specific straps are unique because they are really heavy-duty and designed to take all the load, whereas most other hook straps are designed to assist or just aren't robust enough to take 300 - 400+ lbs.

$25?? That must have been like $100 back then.

Looks like they were worth every penny.
