I use these while I'm sitting in drive-thru lines. It helps me with stress when the lines are going slow. Or sometimes as I'm driving too. I just bang out a hundred on each hand.
Can a daily set until failure with a grip trainer Be enough to help me build strenght and a little size on my forearms/wrists? I am trying to make it less uncomfortable doing push-ups.
relapsing is an opportunity to reflect and think of what you can do to maintain your discipline next time. its not failure. its a chance at growth.
ask yourself :
what went wrong? what was on your mind?
do you think porn blockers will help you ? cause those exist.
do you need more hobbies or things to do to burn time and energy?
do you possibly need an accountability partner ?
etc etc etc

I have the same problem, my legs can handle so much more weight than my arms can hang onto. Bringing an extra towel to dry my hands on days we're doing heavier lifts (bc my hands get sweaty af) and using a spring grip to work on grip strength outside the studio has really helped. Don't forget to stretch your hands and forearms either!
I bought these from Amazon. One for home, one for my office.

I don’t do all the different blocks, but when I was learning to do epidurals, one anesthesiologist gave me an article about how many times you had to perform a procedure before you became proficient and it was literally over 1000 times.
Also, with the hand ventilating, it can be difficult because you have to have similar strength in your non dominant hand as you have in your dominant hand. You can get a hand strengthener and build up the strength in both hands. Something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/KDG-Strengthener-Adjustable-Resistance-Exerciser,Grip/dp/B087X35JJ8/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1Z0GA8PN2ZJ1&keywords=hand+strengthener&qid=1657959713&sprefix=Hand+stre%2Caps%2C99&sr=8-6
I've been using the 130 lbs. adjustable resistance gripper from amazon every day for the past month. I'm up to max resistance doing 300+ reps a day (at least 3 sets of 25 on each hand, another set if my arms don't feel exhausted yet, twice a day) pretty comfortably. Where should I go next? Should I change my routine or move up in weight? I'd prefer something adjustable and handheld so I don't have to spend hundreds on grip strengtheners and can train during work-from-home downtime.
Didn't mean to strain your finger scrolling.
This will help keep your hands strong and increase your grip.
Do grip strengtheners like these help with developing a tighter grip for deadlifts? I struggle to keep the bar held without the use of straps, and I additionally struggle with the lateral pull down machine at my gym with weights that I know I am able to pull but my fingers slip/can't hold.
If these are useful, any recommended exercises with them? Or just a lot of reps at varying "weights"?
Yes, getting old sucks, but it's still better than the alternative. I try to use this hand strengthing tool I bought on Amazon when I'm sitting around.

something like one of these?
thank you
