Your grip isnāt just one thing.
Thereās many different types of grip training and most people train exactly zero of them intentionally. š
Different grips recruit different muscles, tendons, and motor patterns. Training only one means leaving gaps - and those gaps show up as the weakest link when it matters.
An important part of why we built Hand + Wrist Foundations. Grip is one of the strongest predictors of longevity we haveā¦
ā¦. a 5 kg decrease in handgrip strength is linked to a 16ā17% increased risk of all-cause mortality. And yet itās almost never trained directly.
The good news? You donāt need a fancy gym full of grip toys to get started. If you have dumbbells, a bar to hang from, and some bands - youāre in. Thatās genuinely enough to build strong, resilient hands and wrists.
If you want to get more advanced, weāve got you covered too. The program includes progressions with some of the fun specialized tools you see in videos like this. But theyāre add-ons, not requirements.
Everything your hands need to keep up with you - mobility, tendon capacity, progressive loading, and yes, all the grip types - is in Hand + Wrist Foundations.
