All,

This is really appreciated guys. I coincidentally received the NSRA mag with the exercises, the day after I posted this & am giving them a go (specifically the ones where you roll a weight up a piece of broomstick & the resistance band. (you can really feel that, after a few reps!). Carrying on with the dumbells, although I already have fairly string forearms. A bit more cant hurt I suppose!

When something just isn't working its always the temptation to seek "the magic bullet" (pardon the pun!) to fix it, I suppose.
