Why is grip strength such a good indicator of health?

Does training grip therefore make you healthier?
>>
>>76580864
Probably just correlates with a bunch of health factors. I guess its also a good general marker of how much nervous output you can muster. Inactive weak people can't even train with intensity.
>>
Because it can be easily measured without much or any skill required, which would confound the stats
It's supposed to represent strength by proxy
>this study correlated grip strength with health
does not imply that good health is caused by grip strength, learn critical thinking
>>
>>76580864
It relates back to the ancient Mesopotamian days, when gilgamesh and enkidu would crush normalfag skulls with their bare hands. We have this ancestral blood memory and thus correlate grip strength with mogging, which is the vital essence of all beings and increases life span
>>
>>76580864
if you have amazing grip strength then you have a whole lot going on that's working right. no you can't do autistic jerk-off exercises to magically be healthy
>>
>>76580864
people really think this guy grew tumors on his arms in like a year of forearm curls and grippers
>>
>>76580864
idk, but do grip trainers work? I feel like several aspects of my life would improve if I were to have a stronger and more enduring grip
>>
It’s because when you start dying your grip strength drops
>>
>>76580864
It's simpler than people are saying.
It's really the same picking any other random stat (like running some distance) and then plotting that across a ton of different people
The ones that do better there are likely more healthy

Grip strength just means you use your hands and arms
You don't build grip strength just hanging around
So people with higher grip strengths are on average less on the little bitch scale and are more healthy
Improving your grip on purpose doesn't automatically make you healthy
>>
>>76580890
did he not?
>>
train forearms and calves. literally all you need
>>
>>76580930
Why calves?
>>
>>76580864
Where tf are you getting this from that grip strength is a good indicator of health?? Last time I checked Denis Cyplenkov wasn't in good health at all.
>>
>>76581010
bc wearing short is nice

It’s an indicator of good health as people are aging. Old people with strong grips are healthier than old people without.
>>
>>76581133
Yea if you're a little kid. Men wear pants in public
>>
>>76581170
It just means they're maintaining muscular strength as they age
>>
>>76581010
calves are the heart of the legs
>>
Grip strength is also a health indicator for stuff like nervous system issues.
>>
kind of like how high you can jump shows your athletic potential
>>
It's genetic, any scrawny fag incel can bulk up and bench 3 plates but only chads have string grips
>>
>>76580875
Yeah, its like with testosterone, people think high testosterone is healthy because people with high testosterone tend to be healthier, and unhealthy people tend to have lower testosterone.
But it's actually being healthy increases testosterone, testosterone is just a marker of health, it's not the testosterone causing the better health.

The average Twink Rock climber has better grip strength than a roid tranny.
>>
>>76581767
yea
i used to have sub 300ng/dl test in my 20's when i was video gamer, depressed etc. and i wasnt overweight gamer btw, i was very much into fitness but i guess my diet was pretty lackluster in terms of vitamins and so on. probably lack of sleep or a bad rhythm.

now im 31 and i got my test checked and it was 814 ng/dl. so this level of natural variance is possible by just being healthier and happier
>>
>>76580864
a 300lbs fat fuck who sits on the couch eating garbage and squeezing a Captains of Crush isnt going to be healther than some cardio dyel who cant open a jar of pickles
>>
>>76580864
I got fucking shin splints in my forearm from training them, can't do bicep curls anymore, my life is ruined by this meme shit bullshit
>>
>>76580887
>mfw the soomer ancestral memory gene activates
>>
>>76580864
Grip strength is also a good indicator of overall strength but you have it the wrong way around. If you are healthy and strong you probably have good grip strength.

you can tell he's not healthy by looking at his deformed face
>>
>>76582162
He just has a bad haircut like all incels on roids.
>>
>>76581289
skip more leg days fgt
>>
>>76582397
Never do
>>
>>76580876
This. Nailed it.

Clearly demonstrates the retardation of Science. The studies only look at grip strnegth, so technically, "scientifcally" the only conclusion we can scientifically draw is about grip strength. But logically, we can understand that its a proxy for overall strength levels. This is why people who scream "Science!" are retarded.
>>
>>76581010
Calves are the forearms of the leg. Forelegs if you will.
>>
20% of my nerve conduction is lost in transit due to a disease, how fucked am i for grip strength
>>
>>76580864
>strong grip means you likely have active lifestyle
>maybe physical labor
>physical labor means you are likely not fat
>not being fat is healthy
>>
>>76583245
>this
all of these indicators are just metrics to measure health and fitness
>>
>>76580887
Fascinating!
>>
>>76581634

>>76583238
strength starts with neural adaptation. 20% is a decent minority so your days as a tradie wagie are over. Otherwise it doesn't really make a difference

My calves have a brain as well as two more hearts that really be crunching those numbers.
