Training the back without the use of a good grip is hard. A while ago, I did some damage to my forearm by curling a stupid amount of weight. So much, that every time I flex my elbow, I irritate the snot out of it again. Consider what you do to train the back. Aside from a few PULLOVER moves, we need to flex the elbow a bit. Uh-ohhhh...NOW we have an issue!!! I love training my back. Pull ups, Pulldowns, Rows of every sort ALL require that flex in the elbow. I took it light, but rep'd the crap out those moves while wearing straps. Yea, my grip will be OK. I still can rip the bumper off an automobile doing 80 mph. Between the actual grip work I am doing for the forearm as rehab'n along with the light flexion work, some "VooDoo" bands and massage, I'm pretty optimistic about the turn around time on it.
