"I really depend on NewGrips. I'm a 5x a week gym-goer, 'severely middle-aged', and have been using the NewGrips for a couple of years; and have come to think of them almost as part of my hands. They let me do all kinds of exercises without worrying about pain in my hands or elbows. As we grow older working out may produce very good results in weight loss and muscle increase, but Father Time and Mother Nature have not been so generous in constructing human joints and tendons. Since I have an ongoing problem with the joints in my elbows so I came up with several ways to make lifting more comfortable for them. Therefore, one unique problem of using NewGrips is that they allow me to lift heavier weights than my joints will support! So I pay closer attention to proper form and try only to lift what my joints will allow; while at the same time enjoying the comfort of NewGrips! Your 2 piece system, using hand pads and wrist support straps, is extremely versatile and allows me to adapt and invent to my hearts content. Plus, they are a total bargain. And as an after thought, in my case, "Pain is the mother of invention!" -Stephen Manning, California
