Damn, I haven't seen those before. They look really cool!

I would absolutely look into lifting hooks, there are different kinds and some have more padding around the wrist than others

If the wrist wrap / cuff is uncomfortable around the wrist, I would consider somehow modifying one to have a longer cuff around the forearm to make it more comfortable and not slip. Jus throwing around ideas here.

It's very cool that you can bench. I can see dumbells being tricky. Have you incorporated cable flies etc in their place? I could see some kind of a wrist strap being utilized with cables as well and it'd be safer than dumbell presses

I'm doing cable flies, and honestly they're my favourite exercise. This whole ordeal isn't as much about me being unable to exercise body parts as much as it is about being creative in finding ways to do things I normally wouldn't be able to. It kind of sucks ass when my friends want to do dumbbell press but I have to stick to the bench press you know
