Not a trainer, but I have carpal tunnel syndrome...
It's hard, sometimes. Heavy pressing compresses my palm and the nerve, making my fingers numb. Gripping heavy weights can be tough, as well, especially once things have numbed up. So, when possible, I do pulling first, then pushing.
The stretching, etc. that Bill showed me has definately helped. My forearms actually grow now and my grip doesn't give out suddenly anymore. Much less numbness and tingling. I confess that my grip is WAY behind the rest of me and I use straps, periodically.
I've wondered if wrist wraps might help when doing pressing, since flexing of the wrist can make CT worse.
