Bro your amazing, never stop doing this your a massive inspiration, and your not some unrelatable guy whos in a mansion or been on steds for 20 years, everything you do looks possible
I have fine motor problems (genetic disorder) and like it's actually really interesting how grip strength intersects with gross motor skills vs fine motor skills And it's cool that this is a routine that helps both in many directions
If it doesn’t cause you vision or balance issues, you might watch your hands through the full movement of each exercise. This helps with eye tracking and proprioception (your body coordinating movement with vision and knowing where it’s parts are in space) which will help fine and gross motor skills. Curious if you’ve been assessed by a vision therapist or occupational therapist? After a head injury I was shocked to discover how connected vision is to movement
@@nmg6248 it's incredibly ironic you mention balance, I'm currently getting a diagnosis for balance disorder. Which is why im pursuing exercise that excludes equipment (which can be dangerous in the event of an episode).

@@turtle_senorif you weigh 140lbs the planche takes maybe 6months, if you're a cancer patient trying to do it a year. it's not a hard movement its very low level. rings are way harder and show the true potential of a bodyweight athlete

Exercise physiologist here. You should also include an exercise that allows you to open and close the fingers so you can actively and dynamically train the lumbricals (small muscles in the hand, they only flex the digits). Static movements, like what he presents have their place, but should be used as an accessory if you want strength and not endurance
Also the tennis ball grip! You grab it and squeeze it with all your fingers. An advice from an old rock climber, been doing this since I started climbing it is very efficient!
as a power lifter who's currently in physical therapy and can't lift heavy but still loves deadlifts thank you. i can pull 200kg (440lbs) raw and that first exercise destroyed me. will definitely add them into my training even after i'm fully healed.
Holy shit. I tried the gripping your thumb and moving your hand down bit. It hurt and then when i tried to let go, I couldn't. I forced my hand open and my pointer finger remained locked in place. That was a learning experience.
do not do that exercise. when you hold your thumb like that you actually run the risk of literally snapping the tendon that connects your thumb to your hand.
@@bizon1271 yeah tendons cant be exercised like normal muscle, they might get a little stronger, but they wont get noticably stronger. the burning you feel when doing it isnt normal muscle stretch good burn, its your tendon trying to say "im about to break"
I’ve been incorporating these into my workout routine, getting quite a few stares at the gym but they definitely work! My forearms were really sore (the good sore thankfully) after my first day and after doing them ever day for five days, I have noticed an improvement in my grip! My only thing is if you have knobby/bony fingers and/or thumbs, be careful or wear gloves because my thumb joints have been getting pretty close to blistering and it’s cut my sets short. Apart from that, solid advice! Thanks for sharing! (Edit: the blisters are from the pinch grip, I’ve been doing 3 stets of 10 reps spinning (like a car tire) rubber 10lb bar weights and the friction is what causes the blister, should have clarified, my bad lol)
Just gave myself a pretty bad cramp with the thumb and wrist one lol. Gonna try to lower intensity and practice that one often bc it seems it's more tense than I thought
how has that been going? I have high doubt that it trains anything. I’ve seen a very similar video on how to fuck up your thumb which was the same thumb grip but flicking your wrist towards your pinky finger
Did the close hand grip and immediately cramped. Definitely something I'm going to do more of, there's some muscle or tendon there that has not been getting exercise and that's a sure sign I need to do it more. Thanks!
Flexing it isn't gonna do anything. U need some sort of resistance if u want it to actually do anything. It only feels like it's doing something cuz ur flexing and it's getting u a pump. Like flexing ur chest would feel good but wouldn't do anything for muscle/strength building. Other 2 were good though
@@jeffreycinto3219 that's just factually untrue. unweighted isocentric holds are maybe not as effective as dynamic resistance training to build muscle mass but they work pretty dang well at working your slow twitch (endurance) muscle fibres which are less dense but just as if not more important. Physiotherapists often use these exercises as a starting point for building the muscle to correct their patient's biomechanical movements (ie. I'm in physio to correct scapular winging caused by thoracic outlet syndrome and one exercise I've been doing every day is rolling my shoulders back and down and holding it there for as long as I can to build endurance in my serratus and lower traps. Since good posture requires good muscle endurance, training isometric holds are incredibly important.) Only after holding these positions for long duration of time gets too easy should you be introducing weights or resistance.
Wrists extensors and flexors really participate to a great grip because ppl dont know the muscular insertion. Yeah it goes to forarms but also into your fingers. Everything is connected, that s the beauty. The last exercice is Gold.
According to the Los Angelos Public Library, the book “The Fault in our Stars” is described like this. “The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is a young adult fiction novel that narrates the story of a 16-year-old girl who is diagnosed with cancer. She joins a support group where she meets Augustus, and there is a rollercoaster of emotions throughout this novel as the relationship between Hazel and Augustus develops. Hazel and Augustus are able to find comfort in each other through the tough times and learn to lean into each other which makes them both realize that they are not alone. They find love in each other and feel hopeful for each other, also while allowing the readers to learn about their inner struggles.”
Yo the one with the thumb gripped with other fingers is really dangerous if you do it in a wrong direction or fast coz u can snap the thumb tendon or whatever. So be careful with this one.
@@justyouraveragehumanbeing7411 Bro theres no pain if you do it wrong and fast, it just insta snaps. He says stop at pain because it means that your stretching already (which yes, also prevents injury), like in all vids. Doing it in the wrong way will also give you lesser results (thats if you dont injure yourself first).
I see you've picked a proper girlfriend/wife. Be careful, and don't destroy her by getting into bodybuilding. It would be awful if you became a huge dude and crushed her. ;) Personally, I use towel curls and hangs.
Don't do the thing with the wrist for the forearm because you have a high chance of breaking the tendon between your thumb and your wrist. Trust me, one of the top 3 worst feelings you could ever experience
@@AlexiaHausmannLexi he did not say "stay away from it", he said "you will be fine" which you won't be. It pulls the tendon and hurts for a reason lol...
yooo i was stressed out about how to make my fore arm big, but then this is comes up, thank god you show me the best method that no one ever told, you earn a follow
One thing that seriously helped me was taking a long towel, draping it over a pull up bar, bunching it up and trying to hold onto that to support my weight. At first you're lucky to hold it for more than a second but I was able to hang for 60 seconds after only a month.
My years of refusing to take two trips when bringing in groceries have made me a lobster.

I'm in physio to correct scapular winging caused by thoracic outlet syndrome and one exercise I've been doing every day is rolling my shoulders back and down and holding it there for as long as I can to build endurance in my serratus and lower traps. Since good posture requires good muscle endurance, training isometric holds are incredibly important.) Only after holding these positions for long duration of time gets too easy should you be introducing weights or resistance.
Wrists extensors and flexors really participate to a great grip because ppl dont know the muscular insertion. Yeah it goes to forarms but also into your fingers. Everything is connected, that s the beauty.
The last exercice is Gold.
I also gained alot of grip by simply doing deadhangs daily, not only do you gain a stronger forearm but you also get the best spine stretch
Now I can save my friend when he's hanging off of a cliff in weird dilemmas 😶
Ayo that sounds kinda sus....
That moment when you fuck up the second exercise and break your tendon
Thank you so much for this! I hate grip training gadgets.
Dead hangs improved my grip and overall forearm strength and size insanely. Using towels to dead hang hits the gripping strength really well
Thaaanks I'mma need that for my RDL in the gym. I cant progress in weight because my wrists/grip cant handle the weight. So thanks
i like how he's not showing you how to get ripped but rather to just incrase your strenght
incrase
stenght
Being ripped is a byproduct of increasing your strength.
I love your kitchen.
According to the Los Angelos Public Library, the book “The Fault in our Stars” is described like this. “The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is a young adult fiction novel that narrates the story of a 16-year-old girl who is diagnosed with cancer. She joins a support group where she meets Augustus, and there is a rollercoaster of emotions throughout this novel as the relationship between Hazel and Augustus develops. Hazel and Augustus are able to find comfort in each other through the tough times and learn to lean into each other which makes them both realize that they are not alone. They find love in each other and feel hopeful for each other, also while allowing the readers to learn about their inner struggles.”
Yo the one with the thumb gripped with other fingers is really dangerous if you do it in a wrong direction or fast coz u can snap the thumb tendon or whatever. So be careful with this one.
Ouch
Thats... literally why he tells you to stop at pain
@@justyouraveragehumanbeing7411 Bro theres no pain if you do it wrong and fast, it just insta snaps. He says stop at pain because it means that your stretching already (which yes, also prevents injury), like in all vids. Doing it in the wrong way will also give you lesser results (thats if you dont injure yourself first).
do you have a source? i tried finding it but cant find anything
pretty sure that's just a meme
"man, that second one doesnt look too tough"
_does it once_
"ow, ouch, okay, maybe i need to do more of these."
It’s also a great way to tear a tendon
actually the opposite, don't do them
Nice, exactly what I need... thanks David
Broo I'm currently in the midst of reading that book hahaha. 😮😮😮 It's been really good soo far
Yoooo Are you reading the book "the fault in our stars"?? Me too! Its a really cool book, I almost cried at chapter 2.
Fr
I was bawling
@@emmawoodruff8042 I lied, that book is fucking awful.
I honestly thought he was about to do a fake video on how to shatter your thumb when he said put your thumb in your grip.
I did each exercise for each hand and did each one for the length of this yt short. I’ll be doing this everyday while at the gym. Ty for this.
Damn, man. Your stuff - chefs kiss!
I see you've picked a proper girlfriend/wife. Be careful, and don't destroy her by getting into bodybuilding. It would be awful if you became a huge dude and crushed her. ;)
Personally, I use towel curls and hangs.
I will keep that in mind! 😂😂 also towel curls and hangs are YES.
😂😂😂
Creepy...
?
@@jmassagetherapist6773 he's just joking
I needed this so bad,. I've always had weak fingers. Thank you!!!!
Any updates on how your grip is now?
@@nerfmarioluigi5589 forgot to do it
Good timing in my algorithm, totally relaxed my joint pain too ✌🏼
The fridge door exercise is my favorite
Don't do the thing with the wrist for the forearm because you have a high chance of breaking the tendon between your thumb and your wrist. Trust me, one of the top 3 worst feelings you could ever experience
Oof, now I'm scared
Notice how he said stay away from pain if your care duo you'll be fine 😒
@@AlexiaHausmannLexi he did not say "stay away from it", he said "you will be fine" which you won't be. It pulls the tendon and hurts for a reason lol...
@@nikchas he did not say that youll be fine but you probably will be because tendons can be strechted and thats his whole idea to stay flexy
@@nikchas and clearly he is an expert so like let him do his job
The close hand thing gives me so much anxiety knowing that you can break your thumb ligament by doing something very similar
Exactly what I thought. Going to skip that one...
For real like there’s no way that can actually train something right??
yooo i was stressed out about how to make my fore arm big, but then this is comes up, thank god you show me the best method that no one ever told, you earn a follow
Stay flexy. Stay sexy. New motto, love it! 😆
Grab smthn you can COMFORTABLY hold in a pinch: grabs a piano
Dude the book- YES see I have done that exercise 8888888888 times! And I’m so glad that’s the book u picked up! It’s amazing!!!
One thing that seriously helped me was taking a long towel, draping it over a pull up bar, bunching it up and trying to hold onto that to support my weight. At first you're lucky to hold it for more than a second but I was able to hang for 60 seconds after only a month.
"one exercise to do over and over again"
*opens and closes fridge*
Do you have a camera in my house
Yeah, I really need that second one in case the steering wheel decide to fly away like an UFO
I love seeing your wife in your videos. Wholesome
I like the opening the fridge door exercise, because that's where the foods at. 😂😂
I can not be the only person here with a dirty mind while watching this. 😭😭
Ur not
Lol
pov: you’re doing the second one rn cuz yeh
Wifey was so helpful!❤😊
Why is no one talking about "stay sexy"
It got me rolling on the floor.
His gf loves that he trains his finger strength. ✋️🐈
bro-
Got em
Thanks, now my hand is cramped in that bent wrist position and won't go back 😭😂😭😂 it hurts
I felt the cramps on my wrist
After I’ve seen this guy for 7th time. I decided to sub. Keep making these Well done clips❤
My grip strength is 12 (minimum for my age and sex should be 25) no physical therapist has ever given me something so useful
I got a lotta practice in that closed grip 😂😂😂
"ok so for this grip you wanna barely avoid snapping your thumb ligament"
Loving the John Green reference!
I did the second one, and my index finger locked up (cramped?) There wasn’t any pain until I tried to relax my hand. Is there any way to avoid this?
Make sure the bottom of your hand is facing the floor, completely parallel. Stretch until you feel pain, then stop, take a break, then repeat.
I was wondering what was that cute panda 🐼 doing in the background ♥️
Awsome, I just joined a rock climbing gym because my grip strength is my one weakness excuse because of an injury but now I get a nice challenge.
whenever David does the crab hands, I lose it lol
Bro wanted his GF to increase her grip strength.
Tutorial on how to give yourself cramps:
I know another one. Lay in bed and flex your calves. Or reach around yourself with your opposite arm.
