Just throwing it out there to see if anyone has advice or a "know-how".
I'd like to find out the accurate shape/location of pressure applied to the palm during heavyweight exercises in the gym (mostly pushing - bench press, OHP).
Preferably, also to find out points on the palm that experience the most pressure from the weight throughout exercise.
Is there a device or some sort of material that I can put on my hand - that will help me achieve this task?
I did my research and discovered that cushion on gym/cycling gloves is mostly placed where first finger joints are, ulnar nerve and median nerve (bottom of your palm). Want to get very specific and discover the exact shape/location by testing this myself.
I was looking at the "viscoelastic foam". It's a memory type of foam.
I could get some stock from a factory, cut it to shape, and somehow attach it to my hand - lift, and observe the shape right after.
