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!

Did you know that grip strength is correlated with living longer because if you can't grip the hand railing as an old person, you might fall down the stairs and break your hip and then you're really in for living less than a few years.

Love it... But also how to get a broken toe😂
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.
Can’t wait to do this. Thank you Dr. Attia😊
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.

Loving your book and podcast! As a 45 year old amateur competitive Strongwoman, I am intensely interested in longevity and longevity in my sport. Masters athletes in the sport of Strongman might make great study material. Now back to making my Official Strongman Games qualifier video holding 260 lbs per hand for at least 5 seconds. 💪😊
very helpful, thank you
Surely that’s more grip endurance?
There is a podcast where he relate the grip strength with brain function to avoid alzheimer 👍
Really only need to do this if you have a desk job. For those of use who work with our hands we usually have amazing grip strength without even trying.
nice move . . .. going to use that as my farmers carry . . . .
Well, that was fun to watch.
This is great! I also recommend Captains of Crush grippers
GREAT IDEA DOC!!! ❤
Brilliant!

Wow. Nice😎
Wow! Riveting!!
Forearm exercises, similar to arm wrestlers would do, definitely increases grip strength. And hanging from a bar supporting your body weight.
I agree that will help. I have pretty bad arthritis in my hands, particularly my last joint of my fingertips, what can I do about that?
Reeve's deadlift 👌Recently discovered, use it as a row. And I also like to suggest Lee Weiland work which is not static as this exercise
I would do something dynamic while holding those. For example, you could do some lunges, squats, or hold one at a time and do suitcase carries. Get the grip workout while working other things as well
This to me is super interesting, as Okinawan Karate practitioners do an exercise similar to this with weighted vases. They do this with an an eye to increasing/improving grip strength as they move through kata. Okinawa is a known blue zone
Climbing is much more fun! 😙
Easiest instruction ever
Plate pinches smooth side out also fun
Is there a different guide marker of grip strength for people with loose ligaments? For example: what if someone has Ahlers Danlos but good muscle and they literally can't grip without fingers bending backwards? Yet if holding a different way, COULD hold the weights? Thank you
Walk-in’ yer talk, Doc!
Never thought of that 🤘 hair of the dog 🐶
Walking around makes it harder!!
Do biking without a helmet next peter! Then do sprint training while holding scissors.
I’ve done this for a while. I hold them till I can’t no more, and they slip out of my hand. Very effective.
Karateka (And i suspect non-Okinawan martial artists) have many tools and techniques for cultivating grip strength.
Should the size of what I pick up be varied so different muscles are strengthen?
Id say its akso probably good to get capncrush and make up a training program. Progressive overload with excentric and concentric training is better training than static holds.
Just get your deadlift over 400. Everyone wants to make things so difficult.
Wow I need to do this I’m 49 and it’s getting hard to open hard which is alarming 😳

Does Training grip strength accelerate the apparition of arthritis in finger bones?
I'd love to see you do the farmers walk with your own bodyweight. I'm 107kg and there's no chance I'm carrying 50kg dumbells for 1min without shredding my hands to pieces
Would you increase risk of hernia doing this?
can i do it with BBs?
can you also train grip strength by hanging from bar?
I love this guy he’s a beast! Such a brillant mind too
What type of flooring is that?
Does this make the fingers thicker? Handling a lot of soil or cement tends to make the fingers thicker but I don't know if that has any advantages, on grip or anything else. Thick finger bones don't really feel or look very good (the latter is subjective, though).
Question: if grip strength is an integral analog for muscular endurance and I specifically train grip strength, do I loose the integration effect of the grip strength test as a assessment of muscular endurance?

Absolutely. Do not fool yourself into thinking that training grip strength will have any significant impact on life expectancy.
What if you have hypermobile fingers? What is your solution
Impressive, but if he drops any of the weights on his feet, oh boy that would hurt!
I like it, but why not do it one handed while walking? Then you get some counter-rotation and balance in the mix.
Honest question, what is the direct benefit of training grip strength? My understanding is it's more of a way for health professionals to gauge overall strength as a marker for health. So then what is the benefit of training it independently?
