small hands & heavy DB's

[Melclear]

Hi Cathe -

Do you have any suggestions for how to find/adapt heavy DB's in the 4DS? My heaviest right now are 25's, and while my chest and back can handle the weight, my tiny hands struggle to hold them up (I'm under 5' tall). I know I can switch to a heavy BB for chest presses, but any ideas for flies? Or for the 1-armed rows?

Thanks!

Mel

Not Cathe but i will chime in.
I have smaller hands and my heavier 22-40's have thicker handles..
I know there are probably some out there with smaller(skinnier) handles..

I say use what you can and don't push yourself to injury. If it feels uncomfy . Don't do it.
Oh, i wrapped mine with Tennis racquet tape. It helped the traction . Add some gloves too..
