That means a majority of men on average have a weak grip. -- If it's the 'average' to be under that number than I don't know what 'weak' means. -- According to Livestrong, which is referring to a 1985 publication from a physical medicine journal. "97.8-143.8" lbs is the average for men between 25-30. That would put men between Sport and No. 1 CoC. 60 kg is roughly 132 lbs. Which is between the No.5 to No 1. -- So, you're talking about the high end of average male grip strength. This is specifically referring to normalized data based off 350+ males in the Milwaukee area.
@@followtheleader1114 I grip a CoC2 (around 195lbs/88.5kg) at my desk. But I wouldn't expect everyone to do that. It's useful for other workouts like rows and dead lifts (or BJJ)..

I can already feel relief in my left wrist! 3 years ago it has never been the same after breaking the scaphoid. I have broken many bones but the scaphoid break has got to be the most frustrating thanks so much guys. Hopefully the stiffness and weakness goes away! I have high goals and do not want to be setback by a weak wrist
Thank you! I was looking for grip strength exercises, because I practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I came across this and it's awesome. Just what I was looking for.
I had hand surgery that made things worse, and I finally found something that helped build my hand muscles. My fingers don't know how to hang on to a glass of water... I was rolling a lemon to soften it to make lemonade and it was really difficult! So I started using a tennis ball, rolling it back and forth, side to side. It has helped with basic coordination because my hand often doesn't hear what my brain is saying.
Went out and bought one after seeing your recommendation. Have been getting wrist pain and need to build up grip strength for an upcoming canoeing trip. ❤
I got the green one and black one and have been cranking them daily for about a week or two and at the beginning I would shake the black one and it wouldn’t wiggle and now I can get it to shake pretty well, awesome investment because I am a wrestler and I need to get better grip strength, also for baseball it will help a lot because grip is one of the most important things for hitting nukes
Love your channel! You've saved me from many aches and pains! BTW, could you two do a vid on pronator teres syndrome PT? I recently developed that and don't see anything on it in your channel. If you have already covered it I apologize!
@@glennhonestly6600 "In an antagonistic muscle pair as one muscle contracts the other muscle relaxes or lengthens. The muscle that is contracting is called the agonist and the muscle that is relaxing or lengthening is called the antagonist."
Also just in case you don't have any of the equipment home one of the easiest ways to improve your grip strength is any exercise that involves a bar or hanging this could just be as simple as hanging as long as you can
Wym?? So curious just started pole and can't get a grip on life let alone a dang pole lol I bought a home pillow and I am just a slippery frozen turkey on wet noodles
Actually he is right. Powerlifters know that slow steady lifts are more effective that rapid jerking lifts. You will be stronger and have better muscle control
Y’all have helped me so much with my back and sciatic pain in the past…. I have ran an excavator on my farm for two months and now have severe pain in my extensor digitorum muscle, I can hardly pick up anything or use my arms from the elbow down. Please help
what to do, if someone not able to reverse his grip e.g. some brain stroke patient unable to open his grip, then what to do, which quipments is important ?
Anthony Santiago I was just thinking the same thing definitely it would help I could tell you that your strength come from the forearm. Being a female I don't want to build up my forearms but being intermediate on the guitar I guess I think playing the guitar could probably strengthen everything also
Me as a bass player it really does help I recommend getting your self a gyro ball (just look up gyro ball on amazon) they really do work out the wrist and forearm they are a lot harder than it looks that or just get one of those hand grip Strengthener
I am not sure about this particular technique, but grip strength training drastically increased my finger dexterity. I've never done finger exercises, just captains of crush training. Going back to guitar after taking a few years off I noticed more stamina and stronger fretting due to grip trainjng and deadlifting.
Do you have suggestions to help stroke recoverers who don't have access to physical therapy? I've yet to figure out how to get my fingers to open. Sure I can make fists... but as a musician I really need both....
Have never subscribed to you guys but it seems every google search I enter for one ailment or injury leads to one of your videos and appreciate all of them. Thanks so much. I probably owe you guys 1000 likes, sorry, am I wrong we’re you guys on CNN this week? Last week Nov. 2021?
I tried to find the flex bars on your Amazon page but there’s a grip strength kit instead. I’d only like to buy one or the other. If I want to buy something to increase my grip strength for weight training, which one should I buy?
I just viewed your video using the Can Do tubes for grip wrist strengthening. This is also great for people that play musical instruments. A long held secret is that strength is in our fingers..... which is false. The greatest secret is that our performance will improve as we carry the movement into gestures extending all the way up to our shoulders. This is also taught in Alexander Technical and the Taubman school of musicians. The two basic gestures require complete follow through in drop and rock (rotation). May I please have the link to the Can Do sticks?
hello, i've found your fvideos very helpful during the downtime i have while we fight my insurance company to get back into my preferred rehab facility .do you have any exercises that help treat a shoulder subluxation after a stroke? thanks in advance
I have partial tear of TFCc, can I strengthen that with these flex bars. Any way I am working with resistance bands as Dr suggested. But this seems more effective.
Could this potentially help in climbing, I'm looking for something to be able to effectively train my grip strength. From what I know you need static strength so I'm wondering if this would still work?
You can buy table clamps at Home Depot for 99 cents. Grab a table clamp and just squeeze it. Hold for about eight second slowly release it. Do about ten reps and rest a couple of minutes then repeat. You will develop a very strong grip.
Position your hand so that your fingers and thumb touch each other at the edges; put a rubber band around them (near the ends), and try to open them against the resistance of the rubber band. Repeat this a few times every day until your muscles on outer hand and arm get strong enough to keep your hands open.
Their intro is so bad that I love it
lol. for sure!

90s intro I think ..

Thanks!
Thanks guys had no clue. Just got back in to riding motorcycles and found I need more grip strength so thanks again this is just what I needed.
There are so many sport applications for a strong grip... thanks!
Are these exercises safe if you have tendonitis in the lateral wrist? My grip has weakened but my wrists are sore from too much knitting.
Thank you for the video! Didn't know about existence of such Twist & Bend Bars
多謝！
Thank you for your support. Stay well!

Also going to order your book on treating back pain.
Which of these is best for wrist tendonitis?
What about finger extension? I've been told that weak antagonists could limit your grip strength quite a bit.
Who's the antagonist
@@glennhonestly6600 "In an antagonistic muscle pair as one muscle contracts the other muscle relaxes or lengthens. The muscle that is contracting is called the agonist and the muscle that is relaxing or lengthening is called the antagonist."
@@HeikkiHallamaa thanks, i learn new things
You mostly need extensor strength according to studies
Its the flexaility of the antagonists that can limit you, not their strength
Excellent!
But when wrist n fingers muscle power is zero how we improve grip?
Also just in case you don't have any of the equipment home one of the easiest ways to improve your grip strength is any exercise that involves a bar or hanging this could just be as simple as hanging as long as you can

No, you go fast on the muscle flexion and slow on the extension. That’s best results for strength.

No idea if they are the most famous, but they definetly are my favourite!!
something about these dudes just hits different, they got real good charisma
Watched this for Climbing and wanting better grip, stayed for these absolute legends!! Genuinely laughed so hard at the no friends joke 😂😂
from minnesota here near Anoka, mn was raised there
I bought one for tennis elbow, now I gotta find it
Are these not available anymore? I went to your website to purchase but don't see them ☹️
Amazon?
How about driving screws into/out of wood( manual screwdriver- and sawing with handsaw
Does this help with the grip for guitar playing too? Because for playing you are using more of a clamp-grip.
This is an exercise to do while I am on boring conference calls at work!
just pretend you're gripping your boss by the neck... :)
No longer available on their website, but search for TheraBand Flexbar and you'll find the same thing.
