hand is one of the first things that people notice about you. When you meet an individual for the first time, you’re most likely going to shake hands with them. The grip that you use might convey confidence, or lack of it, or nervousness, even if you aren’t any of these things.
Exercising your hands regularly gives you that firm handshake that we all associate with warm and trustworthy people.
Here are other benefits of hand grip exercises:
Increased Hand Strength
Hand grip exercises do a good job at strengthening your wrist, arms and corresponding muscles with time. If you do this in the gym, you get to see faster results since you’re able to train with heavy weights.
Additionally, if you play tennis, dodge ball or any sport that requires you to use your wrist extensively, you’ll be able to react much faster to shots fired your way, making you a formidable competitor where fast reflexes make the difference between winning and losing.
Lastly, if you’re into gymnastics or mountain climbing, a good hand grip enables you to support your own body weight and engage a select group of muscles without burdening the whole body.
Improved Forearm Muscularity
Gripping involves opening and closing your wrists which in essence means that you engage your forearm flexors, as well as forearm extensors. Working on your hand strength strengthens and bulks up these muscles, giving your arms a powerful appearance.
Endurance
When you work your hand muscles during hand grip exercises, it becomes easy for you to carry out activities that require you to apply a certain amount of grip for extended periods of time.
