Grip Strength Explained… it’s important

- Grip strength and foot speed are two key indicators for mortality.
As we get older we lose our grip strength and the ability to move quickly. Usually a stronger grip means you’re living a stronger healthy life!

Your super awesome, bro! I love your modest nerdy approach. Thanks for everything! Cheers
Great work Michael. Superbly explained and a really good selection of finger/forearm exercises. 👏 Thank you.
Always enjoyed your display of technique and strength through exercises. In this video here I enjoyed just listening to you, time just went by. Nice to find out that you’re brilliant conversationalist too. And I believe you will be able to do all “cool stuff” and pull-ups at 90 too!
It’s not a direct relationship! People with stronger grip strength are more likely to be physically active hence they live longer.
There was some VERY new research (within the past couple months I believe) that apparently is showing that it is actually a direct relationship and it's what Michael is referring to -- it has to do with the brain needing to regulate constant decision making without being able to make it a pattern. There's a channel on here called Zoe which recently did a very long video on it, definitely worth checking out.
The indirect health benefits you suggest, certainly apply too. But Michael is absolutely correct, a direct connection has been proven scientifically.
You are absolutely correct! It has to do with people being physically active in activities that have an indirect benefit of grip strength and a far more reaching benefit for other things like heart health and brain health. Farmers carries alone are not going to make you live longer. The type of active life style the people being studied will. People always want the short cut like in losing weight and will attack you otherwise to tell you how wrong and dumb you are to justify the lazy and easy approach.
Correlation doesnt imply causation
@@dovydas4483 it absolutely implies it. Correlation being the degree that two things are interrelated would implicate a higher degree of causation with the higher degree of relation and a lesser degree with a lesser degree of relation.
Thank you sir
Great video! I am sceptical thst thete is a direct relationship between grip strength and longevity. The reason I say that is I am in my mid 70s and have suffered from a debilitating hand condition know as Duputrens xfor 30 years. Jowever, for the last 10 years I have consistently utilizex resistance training. I am currentlyj in better shape and heslth than I was in my 50s. However, very small improvement in my grip strength due to my hand condition. With great improvements in my cardio, overall strength/endurance and mental fitness I am either an oddity or proif that dispels your idea. However, I enjoyed your video and will be applying these exercises into my routine. Keep filming.
Thanks a lot! Good point! I have the same purpose in life - just be healthy. With respect from Russia!
Very inspirational. I'm approaching 40 and my thoughts shifted to "how can I be mentally and physically fit at 80" lately. So I was pleasantly surprised about the correlation of grip strength and mortality rate.
Great !!Did you try hang board beast maker or other
correlation does not directly equate causation, remember that
This is a bit random but do you ever use chains for grip strength in any way? I just ended up with a quite heavy chain and am wondering if there's anything I can use it for.
Is it possible to achieve not just strength but also hypertrophy even if I began training in my 30s?
Oh for sure! Hypertrophy has a similar rep scheme as strength but if your goal is growth in particular areas it’s a lot more isolation.
@@MichaelEckertAwesome thx🔥
Michael, what about holding a short, like 18 inch barbell, with weight on one side of it to perform those grip strength exercises? Thank you. I have some short bars I used for dumbbells.
you can also do it with a long stick. My gym has some very long sticks (8 feet long or so) and I hold one end and with control raise and lower the stick so the opposite end points up at the ceiling and then slowly back down to almost touch the floor before going back up again. You can make it heavier by holding the stick closer to the end. I like doing it this way because it forces me to control it very well since I can see how much the stick wobbles.
Mine just hurt by grabbing some grocery bags lol 😢
Like the 1 figertip push up other hand flat
Great advice Sarge! I've trained calisthenics for over 5 years (66 years old now). Couldn't do 1 pull-up when I started, now I can do a 12-down push/pull ladder. My tendon strength is better than ever and I'm training to get 20 pull-ups. Working on high-mid-low holds: czcams.com/video/sWsjBQihd3A/video.htmlsi=0bVeH_d7Bh7TEDou
I watched your video -- I've been doing these for a while too and I would recommend for your low holds instead of going into a dead or active hang, try to hold with slightly bent elbows, the dead hang isn't really challenging enough to bother doing 10 seconds of, and you can train hanging separately, but the flexed low position needs this. I actually do 3 seconds at the top, 5 seconds in the middle, and 7 seconds at the low flexed position because I find the top much easier and it gets progressively harder, so I figure I might as well put more effort where I find it harder. I also like to add a pull up right at the end of each rep of these but I only started doing that recently so I can't say if it really helps that much.
@@mockingbirdnightingale7169 thanks for this! Today is the day I try to add the rep at the bottom of the set. I like your strategy. Thanks! 💪
bla bla bla I bet you'd lose to me in arm wrestling easily
You're trolling 😂😂
