Redjake,

You mention earlier about certain difficulties. Do you wrap your wrists before using the higher compression grips? I used grips when I was young and built up to about the no.2 level you describe. I have thought about it again since getting to my current point from RTC surgery. The PT checked my hands for grip before starting and I had lost down to 94 lbs in my right and my left was still at 160 (which surprised me after all this time)
Years ago I regularly used wraps to avoid wrist strains during training or extended activity. Also, have you looked at exercises for lengthening the nerve bundles in the arm and wrist?
I started having carpal tunnel problems and an instructor trainer gave me some things to do to offset that. I've been hedging against wrist surgery almost 20 years this way doing these.
