Has anyone tried to improve their hand's resistance to pressure with success? Maybe with some kind of exercise with a tennis ball or "hand press"?
In Paris-Brest-Paris and other Super Randonne events you're not allowed to use aero bars, so hand's positions are restricted to just 6-7 with normal handlebars, but the always make pressure on almost the same spots. On the 600 and 1000km brevets I was able to avoid getting my hands numb, but still some bruises appeared in the palm and felt how nerves where hurting.
I've seen Mikko (@mkpaa) doing some handstands on twitter periscope, but not sure if it was just for fun/core
