Strong and powerful grip not only helps sports or doing housework, but is now proven to be closely related to long-term poverty and healthier life; partly because people with strong hands tend to be more aggressive in life, and the most vigorous life itself is related to long-term poverty.
Whether it is to open the jar or grab the handle to prevent yourself from falling, grip strength becomes very important in some daily life matters that will become difficult with age; however, grip strength is not the main purpose of everyone's movement, and most of the time it is never thought about it.
Kinesiologist. "The hands are an important part of the body, but we have never paid attention to it when we exercise." Erin Nance, a New York City hand surgeon, also pointed out that our hands are becoming increasingly weak, which is likely due to the way we use smart phones and touch screens. To solve this problem, we need not only to wear the tiny muscles in the hands, but also to wear the forearm, upper arm, shoulders and core muscles.
To evaluate your current hand strength or grip, Nance recommends holding a heavy object like an iron bulb, imagine turning the weight out of the bulb; then, see if you can maintain a stance of standing up and support the weight with both hands and wrists. If these two things are a little difficult to do, you may need to strengthen your grip and benefit a lot from training.
Experts point out that training grip strength is the most effective while also practicing other muscles, because it mimics the movements of daily life; for example, farmer's carrying heavy objects in both hands can help to strengthen grip strength and core muscle groups, arms, shoulders and back.
EOS Fitness Gym Education Director Pete McCall recommends dead hang, which is the starting position of the hang; "This requires grip strength to control the weight of the body, which also benefits the back and core of the shoulders," McCall said, and suggests that beginners can start with a 10-second hang and then slowly increase to 1 minute.
Jarlo Ilano, a physical therapist and co-founder of GMB Fitness, recommends "bear crawling" walking on the ground with all its limbs. This is a great way to help strengthen other muscles while exercising grip strength. He suggested that each "bear climb" for 2 minutes, and a total of four wheels were performed, each wheel would take two minutes to rest.
