I have twice the gripstrength without any training. And my 15yo daughter has a grip strength of 70 pounds without training. Are you sure that your measurement-device is correct?
✨Thank You ☝️❤️☝️✨🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Leaving a comment to appease the youtube gods
how long a dead hang should be ?
that little progress for 30 days?
I can only dead hang for 5 seconds & been at the gym for months. I have had an office job for 30 years though.
7:32 😂😂😂
Interesting that ur wrist grew a bit
Tim Keller (book in the cupboard in background) is a great read.
Thanks for the encouraging video. Somehow watching guys compete in the 200's for universal hand grip strength does NOT inspire me! I can relate to wanting to improve and taking positive steps like you are showing us.
This guys obviously juiced up FAKE NATTY!!! 😂
It’s just an indicator – correlation not causation – but great video
I tested myself with one of those grip tester (Handexer) 2 weeks ago. On my right was 169 lbs and on the left 158 lbs. Deadlift helps a lot, and doing pull-ups and pull exercises too.
haze the loser with something come on 😁
I wanna please the YouTube gods
You are going about this in a tedious manner. Just do calisthenics on a bar, and practice dead hang at the end of your workouts. Your grip will get stronger naturally (as well other body parts) without even focusing on grip training specifically.
Can i pull my arms a little bit? Because i had shoulder surgery in 2023 and im still carefull with strain because i want build up cartilage
Fun video you're inspiring us.
This guy gives me Mclovin vibes lmao
Its weird they actually want 35 bucks for fat grips.
Stop eating soy. It will help
be me, is a climber, can do dead hang maybe 50 seconds lol. guess i should work on my stamina xD.
When I started doing five sets of dead hangs daily, I noticed my deadlift increasing as grip became less of a limiting factor.
Doing deadlifts help a lot. I use straps for the real sets, but I always take off weight after and just hold the bar in my hands as long as I can. That and do HEAVY farmers walks. This guy just did too light of weight for too long. That is more endurance building. Grab weight you can hold for less than a minute max and do it.
I've heard the study of grip strength being a health marker but I think context matters.
I know some say it's because older people can grab railings and help themselves up easier.
But I think grip strength is indicative of lifestyle. Think construction workers swinging hammers, Farmers carrying hay bails, or even people who lift weights, and grow their grip strength through passive means like gripping the bar during pulling movements.
All of these people are generally fit, the construction worker climbs up and down on their project, carriers their tools and equipment everywhere. The farmer is on his feet all day.
I don't think an older person with Popeye forearms, but zero leg, or other upper body components is "healthy" or "fit".
How is your grip strength now?
8:37 from working out or something else ? xD
I've had really weak hands my whole life, to the point where if I overdo it slightly lifting weights or at work, it becomes painful to hold anything for 2 months minimum. I have resigned myself to using wrist wraps to spare my grip during weightlifting so that I can use it at my job instead, Ill try to increase it eventually
When you are walking with barbels you suppose to lean it on fingers not full grab. Also push ups on fingers what makes grip insane.
12 weeks and you had no type of pump you definitely was working out the wrong way
Good on ye. Thanks for your humble approach. Its refreshing and informative.
That's how u know apes(chimps,monkeys, gorillas,baboons) are extremely strong, they can hang literally for hours on tree branches, and imagine some branches being way thicker than that jungle gym or just the normal gym equipment u can use. Now that's strength!
Is it just me or are these guys really weak? I'm a 56 year old overweight bloke & l tried a dead hang today & got to 1 min 10 with some in the tank still
I'm autistic so my grip strength has been low all my life. I also have two autoimmune problems that seem to also exhibit lower than average grip strength: Crohn's Disease, and Mulitple Sclerosis.
My grip strength went from 40 lbs to 60 lbs in 2018 after I did a fast and a gut cleans that involved clearing out my bowels and letting the bacteria grow back from my intact appendix.
I did a risky FMT in January 2022 (last year) and cured both the Crohn's and M.S. My grip strength doubled from 60 lbs to 120 lbs about a month. A year later I am at 130 lbs.
I have not exercised my grip at all during this time. I optimized DNA repair and mitochondrial health tho.
I bought and tested it on the same dynameter as you! That one is nice, they're ISO calibrated.
Hot take: that study on grip strength wasn't measuring if people exercised. It measured how their body handles damage. And I have used this to get stronger than you.
Duck you. This ain't nothin compared to what I'm packin
15 cm wrist circumfence? That's rly tiny
Great fitness channel.
Tried this after watching your video and got two minutes straight! I guess my martial arts training is already good enough for grip strength! 💪
Got 10% increase in 3 months. = Super because I train regular for last 40 years..Hang 3-4 minutes on every 2nd day (3-4 sets).. 5 second hang on 'off days'
This gives encouragement to us non bulky regular guys😁
You are lifting with your lowerback instead of your legs.
when ever I hold something my arm shakes for no reason
Every video ive watched about grip streanth…u guys always speak on ur callouses. ….why dont u guys wear gloves🤷🏿♂️
