Here is another one of my favorite grip-training exercises. Try to keep some air in your armpits (to avoid using compression on your leg for assistance).
I will do 3 sets of 45 seconds, and then one to failure. Once I can get to 60 seconds, I advance weight.
Hand size has a lot to do with it, so don’t get hung up on someone else’s weight. I have medium size hands and range from 25-30 pounds per hand.
Chalk is essential!

    Just learned about you after watching Huberman and then watched you on Peterson & Kelly. Amazing! Revamping my exercise routine based on your suggestions. Consider adding follow along videos on some good exercise routines, with links to videos with in depth explanations. Nice thing about routine visits is people watch them over and over. Having someone guide me through the routine makes it easier for me to exercise regularly to I watch exercise videos all the time.

    Huge fan of Peter's work. I would recommend not hyperextending your thumb MCP joints and instead trying to abduct your 1st CMC joints more for better "thumb posture" to hold the dumbbell. You want to use your thenar muscles to hold your thumb MCP joint in neutral instead of just relying on your FPL. The posture leads to early thumb DJD with your volar plate attenuating on your MCP and contracture of your thumb adductor, which leads to early DJD. Super common condition that can be avoided with better pinch posture.
