Bryan Johnson says grip strength is one of the simplest predictors of longevity and can be trained at home. He demonstrates his own measurements: 10 reps with his weaker left hand and 20 with his right, at about 100 pounds of resistance. He's turned grip training into a family competition called rejuvenation Olympics.
I spent millions of dollars creating an anti aging protocol. This is one of the easiest things you can do at home. Grip strength, it's one of the most powerful Predictors of longevity. 10 on the left hand, which is weaker because I have this severed tendon, and 20 with my right hand. This, I believe, is 100 pounds. So I try to do 10 full reps. You can see it's hard for me to get it entirely down my right hand, which is my dominant hand, I'm much better. I can get the full squeeze on this one. We also do this as a fun family activity. We did a rejuvenation Olympics, and grip strength was one of the competition sports that our family competed on. So my boys and I had a lot of fun doing this, so my entire family had a good time doing this. Building traditions around health and wellness has been a great thing for my family.
