I am thinking of investing in some lifting hooks. I see they are a little different from lifting straps. but are they really that different? Also besides like deadlifts and shrugs what other lifts are they good for?

look at the RD Millenium II hooker lifting straps

Hooks are probably better...velcro can wear out over time. You can also use it to keep yourself up when doing chin ups, besides deadlifts and shrugs.
