    Correlation doesn't mean causation. I think the study shows that people who are more active and exercise more (more grip strength than normal) live longer.

      He acknowledged this in the video. He said the study found that grip strength was a good indicator of overall health and fitness, and Im assuming he doesnt actually think stronger grip will lead to longer lifespan

    I found my grip strength increased dramatically throughout quarantine by doing open grip pull ups hanging from a ledge, as I had open palms it worked my forearms insanely fast. If you were to do this again at some point, I'd recommend trying it. Nice video as always though, thank you for the upload.

    • @joebloggs6922
      @joebloggs6922 4 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      Absolutely. I got really lucky in that I noticed shoulder pain after the first time of doing it and realised. Would have really messed it up if I hadn't noticed. Traps are basically your stabilizers for your shoulders and 'catch' the weight so to speak and so if you aren't using the scapula then the weight is putting all the pressure onto the shoulder joint

      Actually a passive "dead" hang is fine if you have enough shoulder mobility. If you lack shoulder mobility and flexibility then you shouldn't passive hang until your shoulders are more mobile.

    Lol exactly 30 days ago I start doing Pullup challenge and one of the Weekly test is how long you last with Dead Hang. I was doing 45 secs at the start and 115 secs in the end. I have add no grip/wrist exercice beside Pullup and Pushup so I will try some of the exercices you did, if anyone have any other exercices to improved grip, feel free to share. Because right now, it's not pain in muscle but only in the finger that make me have to drop
    It was a challenge to improved my Pullup and Pushup count not exactly improved my grip, but working on that have improved my result. Day 1, I made 15 pushup until failure and on Day 30 it was 32 Pushup. For Pullup it was 3 at the start and 8 at the end. That's after 698 Pullup/Chinup and 1 885 Pushup...

    I love it when I see challenges for dead hangs, because I seriously know the struggle. I also made a video on this going from under a minute to two minutes. In my opinion its far more about the mindset rather than strength. When I did it I trained, but also took cold showers, meditated and did the wim hof method for a month in order to get a two minute hang. If you want try these things out and see if you can get to 2 minutes, or just see how they improve your life in 30 days, great video as always :D

    Great video, love the mindset you applied to this.
    As some relief, the circumference of your wrist was unlikely to change from the beginning due to the muscle bellies of the wrist flexors/extensors being closer to the elbow region. That being said, it is also unlikely to see huge differences in the circumference of the forearm muscles due to the length of the training period (30 days). Hypertrophy is normally most evident >4 weeks of training, whilst neuromuscular factors are often the first training adaptation to occur, which is why you likely saw an improvement in dyno str (mostly for one hand though). So remain proud of your improvements :D
    Look forward to future vids!

    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.

    Whenever you work out and do pull ups, throw a towel around the bar grip those instead of the bar. This should help with grip strenght. It's small things like those that will slowly increase grip strenght. Just like those fat grips do too. It's just an added bonus. Like standing on one leg while brushing your teeth to help increase balance.

    Interesting training! I started with a 20s dead hang around 6 weeks ago, now I can hang for 1 minute, but I didn't really measure my grip strength in the other ways done in this video. I hope I can keep progressing tho!

      Yeah I'm 6ft 1 and I can now do body hangs both and one arms now in the 25-60 + secs and I'm about 235-240. ( cant do one arm pulls up yet tho lol)They definitely add to grip power and core strength.💪

    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.

    What weight did you use during the farmers carries?

    Just a little too for using the grip squeezing thing with the spring. Don't do reps. Instead hold for as long as you can then rest for 10-15 minutes

    The wrist curl where you roll up the weight is brutal but a really great workout

    8:14 yes but did you make the total body weight vs per second hold calculation?

    Great video. I’ve been thinking about this too but as a older guy who plays and teaches guitar for a living I’m pretty concerned about injury. On the other hand, I think better grip strength might actually prevent some injuries that might negatively impact my abilities.

    Do a chest to wall hs, hang & resting squat more often. Touch the floor, do wrist warm up with your own body weight but scale it down,...

    honestly the grip strength can be improved best by just doing deadhang 10x a day using greasing the groove, with about half an hour of rest in between. Just like any kind of strength. You can even try to open it slightely to hang on the fingers improve even more.

    how to measure grip strength.
    i can do the black hard grippers 100 each hand.
    i can open jars easily.
    but i sometimes cant open bottles.
    maybe my hands are oily ig.

    Woah no joke. You should hold plates (Like 45 lb plates) in both hands. Build up from 20 seconds. But give yourself rest in between.

    I'm not much of a climber but I went bouldering a couple times with a friend. I felt muscles in my body I didn't know could hurt that bad, like my forearms. It's a different kind of workout but it works perfectly to strengthen your grip and arm muscles

    You should mention studies that have shown a decrease in blood pressure for the elderly when using those hand grippers regularly.
