Research indicates that a strong and powerful grip = a longer, healthier life! ?♂️
The strength of your grip can be used to determine your overall strength, and is one of the best predictors of lifespan. Cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and cancer risk are all correlated to grip strength.
Hanging is a great way to improve grip strength. When you hang from a bar, the muscle groups related to your grip are used to hold the entirety of your body weight. This grip strength can then carry over into other movements, like deadlifting.
Quick fitness test: hang from a bar and see where you’re at! Women should be able to hang for at least 1.5 minutes, men at least 2. ??
