Due to arthritis I have weak thumbs and have a hard time griping a bar. Wrest angle seams to make a deference. On my front neck I can't lift my bar, but on back neck I can by changing wrest angle. Might have to trade my Carter D10 for a single neck.

I think a lot of people including me have trouble holding onto bars in the middle of summer. You could try grippier powder coated bars from Michael Hillman or put tacky stuff like velcro or plastidip on there. There's other sticky products that are pine based e.g. Gorilla snot, I don't recommend those
