Alternatives include using lifting straps or reducing weight to build grip strength gradually. -

“Let’s say you are learning to speak Spanish. While your early lessons will involve basic conversational skills, they won’t get you very far in the long run. Once you become comfortable with the basics of the language, your lessons will progress to another level, and you will begin practicing subjects like past tense and abstract conversion. If you simply repeat the basics and don’t try to learn more difficult subjects, you won’t progress. However, moderation and a realistic attitude are key. After all, no matter how great you are with languages, you won’t jump from a beginner’s level to being a fluent speaker without some type of progression.”
