Reverse causation for sure. No grip strength does not increase longevity, but if you're old and still have a muscle mass to have good grip strength, that's probably a good sign that you are healthy and have a good chance of living longer.

[@custardtart1312]

The only sensible comment.

[@taylorhillard4868]

Definitely, also disorders like muscular degenerative conditions as well as hormone disregulation that leads to muscular atrophy are associated with higher mortality. It's not that old people with more grip strength are better off than older people of normal grip strength, it's that older people with conditions that lead to weaker grip strength that are already associated with lower lifespan.

[@acerimmer8338]

PT here, just gonna share this here on the off chance it helps even one soul: this is the BEST exercise(s) I have found to help maintain and improve my (nerve damage) and patient's grip strength. Get either a 2# (much more practical) or 5# (better resistance- perfect for athletes) bucket and fill it 3/4 full w/ cheap rice (yes, I know it sounds like a hassle). Then do these 3 exercises in 1-2 minute increments: 1) hands in fists, flex your wrists forward/backward trying to dig to the bottom 2) using fingers ONLY, wiggle them forward/back again trying to dig to bottom 3) hands in grabbing a door knob position and rotate wrists left/right (pronation/supination) just like turning the knob, digging to the bottom Avoid cheating by using upper arm/shoulders or leaning to much upper body weight leaning into the bucket. It's hands/wrists only. You're wrists and hands will get that wonderful muscle burn in no time and you'll notice improvements quickly. Keep the bucket in an unused space and do it 3x/week. I know a bucket full of rice is impractical but it's more effective and cheaper than weights/grips, and targets ALL the intrinsic muscles, not just 1 or 2 major ones. Good luck!

[@cinnamongirl3070]

Great explanation!

[@spinnerboyz]

It was easier for me to get sand from the nearby beach than rice. I never tried with rice, but sand definitely offers a tough resistance. It feels almost impossible to fully dig the hands into it and rotate inside. Do you guys think rice is technically more effective for these exercises? It would cost me around 60 bucks to fill up a 40Kg bucket with the cheapest rice I can find.

[@ImaCullen]

You only need a 20L bucket, you can also use buck wheat. Sand is too dense.

Dead hangs are incredible for health. I can do up to one minute and thirty seconds now, and I remember when I first started, I felt the most satisfying pop and subsequent relaxation of my spine. It was a really good feeling, as if my spine was finally able to be in a proper, fully stretched position. I also do farmer's carries, which if done properly, force you to walk in the correct posture. As someone who spends a lot of time on a computer and loves it (natural programmer here), I knew it was not good for my body to sit all day. Adding a few hours of workouts in the morning with a lot of exercises that tested my grip and worked my traps has done wonders for my standing posture and overall strength!

@Josef-EU so you really believe that a random fish was able to breathe on Sand and was also able to feed itself while on the sand so that it had enough energy to potentially reproduce with itself so that someday it could become a monkey that would become a human that never grew a forehead but somehow has a forehead? All of those genetic traces are gone so where did they go if we are supposed to be progressing and evolving forward? Trust me the body couldn't survive without all of its pre-designed features, if we were to follow Evolution everything would have died before it had the chance or the ability to reproduce. Natural selection is just how the bloodline moves forward what are the strongest typically survive although nowadays everybody's pretty weak

Data shows that elderly people use to die few years after they start falling or after a hip break. Grip strength can prevent falls and that’s the main reason why it is related to longevity. Also, good feet health and strength can prevent falls and that’s exactly what respectful shoes help on (in contrast with shoes that prevent your feet from feeling the floor).

Possibly true but many many things contribute to fall avoidance. Go spend some time either a geriatric occupational therapist and they will explain this very complex area

[@simonmcglary]

Last August during a hemicolectomy I picked up a blood clot in my left subclavian vein. It left me with some nerve damage in my left arm, limited flexibility in my wrist and no grip strength. Earlier this year my grip strength had crept up to 4kg, it is currently at 18kg and am able to use the brakes on my ebike! Still extreme carpal tunnel like symptoms but the neurologist has said it will take time, another year to 18 months. There is very slow progress, but following the exercises given to me by physiotherapy and occupational therapy there is very slow progress. It is eye opening as to where grip strength plays an important role when you don’t have it!

[@mbarlev]

Great Video. There are numerous academically accredited influencers here on YT who advocate grip strength training to promote longevity as if the causality goes both ways. This goes to show that even if someone is a "Professor" the minute he becomes an influencer who supposedly knows anything about everything and spend too much of his time "making content" or interviews instead of research or academical work - you should take their content with a pinch of salt. Not all MD Doctors or Phds are the same on social media.

My favorite grip strength exercise is Weck's "Dragon Roll": lateral movement with a jump rope without jumping over the rope. The Flow Rope teachers and rope-makers use larger diameter jump ropes and tie them with large grip handles. The Dragon Roll movement challenges grip strength and rewards a bit of pronation/supination in the DFAL/DBAL in every helical cycle. It's the only exercise I've found that develops the abductor digiti minimi muscle of each hand -- the "live long and prosper" muscle.

Jonathan is truly the most AMAZING anatomy instructor! I was blessed to him teach my anatomy class at the Utah College of Massage Therapy in 2012! Unfortunately my class didn’t get the opportunity to attend the cadaver lab at the U😢 I’ve noticed that tendinitis (inflammation of the tendons) will negatively affect your grip strength and end up leaving you in excruciating pain. This is caused my repetitive motions, over use, and it leads to a build up of scar tissue. So give it rest, release the tension in the muscles and other tissues around the area. And get the inflammation under control. Inflammation is like a virus and can spread throughout other section of the body. So treat your body like the machine it is, keep up the maintenance, just like you would do with your car! Sleep well Eat well And live well!

In Nov of 2022 a a coworker manipulated equipment and a piece of that equipment hit me on the inside of the right elbow/ forearm., in February of 2023 I tripped at work and fell on the outside of the right elbow. X-rays show an old chip but otherwise all doctors (3 Ortho's) all say my arm is fine, yet it isn't, i started with 60 lbs. of grip strength and my last measurement was 35lbs. The pain isn't where I fell but where the equipment hit me. Work comp says they aren't responsible even though both injuries happened at work, and both were reported. The pain is the worst when I wake up, probably a 2-3. but the hand falls asleep, but the most important thing is that loss of grip strength.....do you have any ideas how i can build it back up my over strength has declined also in that arm. It's really annoying at this point because I used to kayak, hit the heavy bag and shot archery. The physical therapist said I can do none of those until I'm healed.

Aside from the correlation from healthy lifestyles, I also think there's something uniquely mental about really testing your grip strength that is different from other kinds of strength training. I did karate for 15 years, and a way I would often be told to practice making a fist was to just focus on holding it and making it tighter and tighter over the course of several minutes. It's kind of crazy how hard we can clench our fists if we really focus. You can get it so tight and hold it long enough that it takes its own mental effort to unclench the fist when you're done. I'm sure some of that is just the muscles being "stuck", but the only way to get to that point is to push past what you believe is possible.

The largest parts of both sensory and motor cortex of the brain are dedicated to hand and fingers. So training grip regularly would also keep a large portion of the cerebral cortex healthier.

This is excellent. I use monkee grip rope grips on my pull up bar and they have made grip training convenient.

100% point missed 😅

Many thanks to the donor who allowed this video to be possible. I was hoping to hear more about tennis elbow and its connection to grip.

[@jeannesamples9936]

Extremely interesting, love this.

I’m a licensed professional massage therapist specializing in corrective techniques like myofascial release, myoskeletal realignment, deep tissue, and neuromuscular therapy. Imma live forEVER ‘cause my grip strength is insane.

Fat grips are also a good way to passively increase grip strength when resistance training, like adding fat grips to dumbbells during the farmers carry exercise. Wrist rollers don't increase grip strength as much as forearm strength but it doesn't hurt and they're easy to make. I have an adjustable grip strength trainer that goes from 55lbs to 198lbs, I keep it in my work bag and use it almost daily but I am not a rock climber. That said I hit a plateau with my deadlifting in that I can't go too much heavier or do more reps because my grip strength is lagging behind. I also do Parkour and Striking Martial Arts, and am starting grappling soon, so great grip is needed for those as well.

This was extremely interesting given a horrifying crushing of the wrist not so long ago.. cheers

10:57 No way! You barely look a few years over 18! Thank you for all the amazing knowledge!

A note about manual labor. As a mechanic, we use our hands a lot and while your grip strength can be strong, there's a great risk of developing arthritis, especially in the thumb joint which can cripple grip strength as you become unable to use you hands over time. Manual labor is deadly for joints over long-term.

[@MarquitoRH]

Brilliant comment!

[@robdixson196]

A general marker of overall strength. A lot of things down stream have to work correctly to be physically strong.

[@tylerrozie]

very interesting! i have a condition know as hEDS. basically an invisible disability. it causes my connective tissue to be very loose over my whole body. unfortunately it led to my joint dislocating and has impacted my life highly including my grip strength. i'm curious how someone like me with their muscles and connective tissues issues, how my tendons and stuff would look? its so amazing how complex the human body is.

[@myowngalnow777]

Really interesting content, thank you! Could you please link anything you’ve done on trigger finger and tennis elbow. Seems like these are all connected.

[@joseville]

Great video!!! I recently got into rock climbing (indoor bouldering) and really loving it. Any tips for avoiding finger injuries? Supplements? Glucosamine

[@cristhianalonsobatistacast1114]

Thanks a lot, I have a presentation due next week and this video helps a lot. Also, thanks a lot for all your work, but, sleeping good is necessary, you look very tired

Could you do video on scapula and glenohumeral joint showing effect of severe osteoarthritis please?

One month and I am the first one giving thumbs up? This is hilarious.

Good Lord, finally an intelligent video on the topic.

[@alastairhewitt380]

I paralysed my left hand when I was twenty and it has never fully recovered (although I can use it now). It has limited me in so many ways and sucks to think that it may lead to an early death now as well (although I had my suspicions). Take care of your hands, feet, neck, and back.

Hey Jonathan, what do I need to do in order to donate my body to your organization?

[@susanmercurio1060]

In my 70s, I've noticed that my grip strength isn't what it was in my 50s or 60s. However, it's nice to know that carrying heavy grocery bags back from the bus stop is helping. Moreover, I used to be a professional baker so kneading dough again should help.
