If you not ready you not ready, so rather wait until your body has adjusted.. You should need wraps for your wrists

I only really use straps for dumbbell rows, lat pull down, bent-over row - any exercise that requires a good grip. If you are thinking about straps for dumb-bell presses then I assume you need them just as a support and not for grip. Make sure that if you go heavy on dumb-bell presses that you have somone spotting you that know what he is doing...should support your elbows from behind. Also may be a good idea to get the weights passed to you once you are lying on the bench already. I usually just knock the dumb-bells up with my thighs but if its really heavy you can knock them up to much and bend your entire arm out of joint - happened to me before :pinch:
