I had an injury where i needed surgery on the palm side of my fingers on one hand. Now, the scar tissue afterwards has made it so that that hand does not close fully into a fist, so its hard to grab things that are too small in diameter and the pressure also hurts in a way similar to arthritis where it becomes stiff from prolonged gripping.
I want to get back into lifting weights and have been looking at options to aid with this like gloves. Ive looked at gloves with a hook and waterskiing clinch (?) gloves as well that work like this
If anyone has any insight into using anything like this, what would be better for pushing/pulling or the dynamics of how the weight would be displaced (eg on the wrist or forearm etc) that would be very much appreciated.
I purely thought about doing this because I saw a clip about Mark Henry trying to bend a coin, I definitely can't do that but then I saw the cap and thought I wonder of I can even bend this thin cap lol 😅
Just find it hard to believe that being able to close 250lb’s accurately.
This pretty inexpensive (~$15) gripper claims to be adjustable from 11-360 lbs which seems like a huge range for the cost. I can’t find many reviews online; does anyone know if it can actually go up to such resistance or if it is alright as far as quality?
It doesn’t let me add a picture of when it was at a 30mm set and a picture of the closed I got in this attempt
Doing this lift specifically for a strongman competition coming up. Though I'd have to pull with straps soon but my grip is still holding on there
