Hi guys, further to my previous thread on weight loss here I've been hitting the gym 3x a week for the last 3 weeks along with a slight change diet and its working. 3kg down so far, and strength is up.

Anyway, I feel on a few excercises my grip is letting me down. For instance on lateral pulldowns its my hands and forearms that really feel it rather than my lats/biceps. Simliarly on bicep curls its my forearms and wrists.
I'm fairly confident my form is ok, both the above are done on machines and I've followed instructions meticulously and found comfortable and correct positions on both.

So, has anyone ever had this problem? Any advice? Find a 'gripmaster' type device and just use it while I'm sat at work? Any recommendations?

Cheers guys!
 
Thanks for the hijack guys :p. Ofcourse I don't mind as most of the useful stuff for me was in the first few posts.

Will look into a good grip spring handle thing (:p) and dig out my powerball.
