hand arthritis update

[genobambino]

Hi guys! I wanted to tell everyone that has hand or thumb arthritis about this. I tried wrapping the barbell and dumbbells with pipe installation and it was ackward to hold, esp. heavier hand weights. But I bought a pair of bicycle gloves that where on sale. The padding and the way it is sewed in works miracles!!!! I have no pain and can continue to lift heavier weights. I wanted to pass this info on to anyone else who could use it. Gene

Thanks so much for posting this, Gene!
I was going to reply to your earlier post but had no good ideas for you. I have just been relying on using a thumbless grip most of the time, but now I am getting to the point where even push-ups are difficult due to the weakness and soreness.
I've tried some lifting gloves, but no help.
Thanks again!

Julie
