Fitness tip: Importance of improving grip strength. Grip strength is a good proxy for overall strength and muscle mass. Everything in your upper body is mediated through your hands. If your grip is weak, everything downstream is likely weak including your lower half. For example, someone with a weak grip will have a difficult time deadlifting from creating tension in the torso compromising their lift and leading to injury. Dead-hangs and generally doing exercises involving carrying dumbbells around the gym will help with grip strength.

The magnitude of the value that exercise brings to a persons health-span and lifespan by having (1) higher cardio respiratory fitness and (2) more strength can’t be overstated. The drop in all-cause mortality by increasing these two factors would make these a miracle drug in pill form dwarfing the benefits of any other drug on the market. Increase your VO2 max and strength and increase the time you have left to stack and zap.

Pull up tip: grip the bar with thumbs on top to take pressure off of the elbows. Don’t bend your legs behind you but keep them straight and engaged. Keep your body tight as you pull up to the bar and back down.

Workout tip: It’s ok to arch your back when bench pressing. It’s NOT ok to flare your elbows out. Keep your elbows tucked and get after it 💪

Whether something that happens in your life is “good” or “bad” is a decision entirely up to you. Focus on the things you can control and see the events that follow as “good”. For things most would consider “bad” find a way it will benefit you in the long run. Happen to the world. Don’t let the world happen to you.
