NEW STUDY: MODERN MEN HAVE A WEAKER GRIP THAN THEIR FATHERS
EVEN IF YOU’RE ‘STRONG’, YOU LIKELY HAVE A WEAK, LIMP GRIP COMPARED TO PAST GENERATIONS
AND YOU WON’T DEVELOP CRUSHING MAN STRENGTH IN THE WEIGHT ROOM ALONE..
QUESTION: WHAT’S THE POINT OF BIG MUSCLES IF YOU HAVE A LIMP GRIP?
- A strong grip is a sign of power and confidence.
- A strong grip, to your lady, means that you can take care of her, defend her, provide for her, that your not a lady with facial hair and a dick.
- A strong grip is a sign of manhood!
I remember being a kid, well, maybe in my early twenties, and wrestling with my old man or a buddy’s old man, and while I could lift a hell of a lot more than them in the weight room, they’d always somehow kick my ass…
...Especially if a buddy’s dad was a rancher or worked with his hands. It wasn’t even close, they’d get a hold of you and just ragdoll you.
There was a reason for that… something that weight training doesn’t account for or develop.
Man used to work with their hands, and progressively, over the past few decades, that is happening less and less.
As a result, men today have dramatically weaker grips than we used to, and they’re getting weaker, even as men are working out more and more, our grip strength is getting weaker and weaker.

MEN NEED MAN STRENGTH
AND MAN STRENGTH IS EARNED WITH POWERFUL HANDS
Society is getting softer… We can all agree with that.
We don’t need to milk cows to get milk, kill animals to get meat, harvest crops to get fruits or vegetables.
We don’t need to fix our own homes…
We can sit all day and essentially be a fine, productive member of society, but this isn’t who we are.
The softer we get, the less capable we become, the less powerful we are and the less powerful we feel.

MEN NEED MAN STRENGTH!
GRIP STRENGTH IS NECESSARY FOR SUCCESS IN ANY SPORT (ESPECIALLY COMBAT SPORTS)
You’re a protector, first and foremost.
That’s what a man is, he protects and provides, and being a protector is a must. And no matter the combat sport you’re talking about, be it boxing, kickboxing, BJJ or wrestling, a strong grip is a must.
In fact, you can specifically train ‘the holding grip’, to develop a vice-like grip that will allow you to carry more, and will put the fear of God in the bad guys eyes when you grab a hold of him and he realizes he’s not getting away.

MEN NEED A GOOD GRIP FOR BUSINESS
The WORST effect of a weak hand grip is a weak handshake!
It’s effeminate, soft, and weak to go into a business deal or negotiation with a limp handshake! It shows a lack of confidence, and a complete lack of leadership.
When you have a naturally powerful grip, it has a powerful effect.
“Most guys today either have a soft handshake, or you can tell they’re trying way too hard to have a strong handshake. Either way it comes off as weak.”

Developing a naturally powerful grip by actually training your grip (you can’t get a strong grip simply by doing what you’ve done to this point, plus there are 3 kinds of grip, and I’d bet $ that you’re only training 1 at most) gives you a leg up on everyone.
It makes you the man of the room, especially when the rest of that room has a limp handshake.

STUDY: THE DECLINE OF MAN STRENGTH
In a recent study, researchers rounded up 237 healthy men ages 20-34 and asked them to grab a hand dynamometer, which measures how much force a person can exert by squeezing their hand. Then the researchers compared those measurements with grip strength standards from 1985.
The results:
Most 20– to 24-year-old dudes averaged 101-lb grips in their right hands and 99-lb grips with their left.
Compare them to 20- to 24-year-old men in 1985, who averaged 121 and 105 lbs.
Millennials aged 25–29 were even worse, with grips that are 26 and 19 pounds weaker than the previous generation.
Grip strength isn’t just a sign of a lack of masculinity, or the emasculation of society, a weak grip has also been shown to increase your likelyhood of getting cancer, heart disease, or having a premature death:
STUDY: Researchers tested the grip strength of about 140,000 people aged 35 to 70 across 17 low-, medium- and high-income countries, and then followed them for an average of four years. After adjusting for a variety of factors (such as age, education level, physical activity level, and tobacco use), the researchers found that every 5-kg decrease in grip strength was associated with a 16 percent increase in death from all causes, a 17 percent increase in death from heart disease, a 17 percent increase in death from an illness not related to heart disease (such as cancer), a 7 percent increase in the risk of a heart attack and a 9 percent increase in the risk of stroke.

YOU WON’T GET A HAND-CRUSHING GRIP
BY DEFAULT: YOU NEED TO GO HARDCORE WITH YOUR GRIP TRAINING
The forearms, wrists and the hands are involved in the grip. These areas have a bunch of muscles, joints and ligaments that are interwoven and act together to create the grip. Targeting all of these areas is vital for maximizing the potential for your own grip.
Typical weight training works the grip in an indirect manner, but direct and specific training is even better
Beyond that minimal amount, the development of the forearms is largely neglected. And if you don’t lift weights, you have even less grip development. This neglect of the grip hasn’t always been an issue. Bodybuilders and lifters from the “Big Arm” era dedicated specific time to work on the forearms.
Arnold, for instance, spent time each week specifically working his forearms, as did many of the lifters who had a pair of powerful forearms. It was common back then to work the forearms and the grip as well, in a weekly training routine. People have gotten away from that habit, to the detriment of the modern man’s grip.
The power and strength you hold in your hands does matter, and can often make a big difference in a everything from changing a tire to opening a container for your lady.

YOUR FOREARMS ARE YOUR MAN CLEAVAGE
From an aesthetics standpoint, your forearms are like a lady’s cleavage, when you’re wearing short sleeves, they GET NOTICED.
It’s a fast and easy way to look like a damn man in a sea of boys!
With strong, bulging forearms, you’re going to set yourself apart from the rest of our soft society, and our DNA, how we’re hardwired, hasn’t changed, no matter what the mainstream media says:

Grip Strength Types
Grip Strength Anatomy
- Unless you are a farmer or dock worker, a crushing grip doesn’t just occur – you have to create a crushing power.
- The grip comes from the muscles of the hands, wrists and forearms.
- The grip is multifold and contains supporting power, pinching power, and crushing power. Aim at building up all three areas.
