Here's why grip matters, Attia's standards, how to do each test safely, and how to train your grip.
Why grip strength matters
In the PURE study, Leong and colleagues measured the grip of 139,691 people in 17 countries. A weaker grip went with a higher risk of death, from any cause and from heart disease.
Attia uses grip as a sign of the strength that keeps you independent: carrying bags, opening jars, and catching yourself when you slip.
Attia's standards
- Men at 40
- 2 minutes
- Women at 40
- 90 seconds
- Men at 40
- Body weight for 1 minute

Both come from Outlive. He says some patients train for a year before they try the carry.
