got influenced and ordered one of these, will report the results tomorrow

Next week you'll have a set of these like me 😅
Pro-tip is to use bike or tennis tape to wrap them so you don't wreck your hands

I might get one but I think just lifting will help a lot, something I’ve been slacking on for a while

Yes, that is the better way. It's a better proxy metric than a goal itself. I find the trainers can be helpful for tendon strengthening to reduce injury risk or pain with other exercises, so they're nice in that you can use them a few times a day without heading to the gym / setting equipment up.
