Yeah, that was exactly how I felt... not safe. By the time I did them the last time, it felt easier on my hands. I have Powerblocks, and I think the grips are larger than on a dumbbell, plus I have stubby fingers
I did Phase Two Strength One today and I kept my weights about the same for everything. Adding in the balance elements kept me from going heavier, at least for now.
