[QUOTE="TheFigurehead, post: 1400927, member: 49302"] It's totally normal, and a chief complaint of almost all new unloaders. At about 90 days, the pain subsides, and wont return. You are overusing muscles you probably havent used in that manner before. Coated gloves definitely help as the coating provides better grip, and you wont have to use as much pressure to keep the box secure in your hands. The only real tip I can give is to get some gloves, and learn to "palm" the lighter boxes... instead of grabbing with your fingers, put a palm on each side, with your fingers outstretched, and let your arms and gloves do the work instead of your fingers. This method tops out at about 30 - 40 lbs, depending on your strength, and the condition of the coating on your gloves. [/QUOTE]
