The Mad Spotter hooks are a pair of dumbbell spotter hooks you hang from a barbell.
They solve the same problem J-cups solve for barbells.
Their job is to hold dumbbells while you get in the correct position to press.
So they’re like a J-cup for dumbbells.
They’re perfect for bench pressing or shoulder presses without having to kick the dumbbells up while setting up.
This way you can max out your dumbbell presses without wasting energy or sacrificing form.

Specs
—
Weight capacity: 170 lbs (each hook)
Compatibility: Dumbbells with handle length of 4.7” or longer

Setting Up the Mad Spotter Hooks
—
Setting up the dumbbell spotter hooks is not rocket science.
But you do have to keep in mind the length of the hooks.
The hooks fall about 8.5″ below the barbell so you need to set up your J-cups higher than normal.
I had to move my J-cups from the #8 hole that I use for flat bench press to #13.
1. Hang the dumbbell spotter hooks on your barbell.
2. Place your dumbbells on the hooks.
3. Wrap the neoprene sleeve around the dumbbell handle and horizontal bar attached to the bottom of the hooks.

Why the Mad Spotter Hooks?
—
Here are 3 benefits you get from using dumbbell spotter hooks.
1. Start with perfect form
You can retract and depress your shoulder blades and arch your back just like when you set up for a barbell bench press.
2. Save your shoulders
Starting the press with perfect form will decrease the chances of injuries.
Pack your shoulders from the get go for a safer lift.
3. No wasted energy
Now you don’t have to waste energy kicking the dumbbells up.
Set the dumbbells on the Mad Spotter and start your set when you’re ready.
All your energy goes into the exercise, not the set up.

Mad Spotter Hooks Exercises
—
1. Dumbbell bench press
2. Dumbbell incline bench press
3. Standing shoulder press
4. Seated shoulder press: Don’t like this one much because the bar is behind you and causes a blind spot when re-reracking the hooks.

Other Dumbbell Spotter Hooks and Systems

3. Minimalistic: Take up very little space and can be hung anywhere for storage
4. Fits all racks: No need to measure anything on your rack since it hangs from your barbell
Cons
1. Grip: Sleeve makes the grip thicker which takes time to get used to
