What kind of support strap should I use?

    I recently had tendon replacement surgery where they took a tendon from my forearm and put it into my hand to give me the use of my finger back (and grip strength...)

    A year later, I got back into the gym. Back about 8 - 10 weeks now. My left side had wasted right down. I started curling & pressing 2k weights to get it going, now curling 15k and pressing 25k.

    The problem I have is in pressing, the wrist rotation you naturally make when lowering the bar to your chest pushes my hand to a point where my fingers have no strength whatsoever. The weight of the bar also puts pressure on the tendon in my hand.

    What wrist support can I get?

    I need padding on the palm section and a tight wrap around my palm and wrist. I saw a guy in the gym last night with one that went halfway down his forearm, that looked like what I would need but I didnt think of asking him about it last night.
