John Robichaud I think grip is the one strength that never goes. Mark Felix’s grip is stronger now at age 53 than it was 10 years ago. He’s still breaking grip world records and doing personal bests
I've actually seen studies on this, modern generations on average have significantly worse grip strength on average then earier generations, i assume it's because of job market transitioning from a heavily labour dominated market to services and machine operated jobs etc as well as less exercise, here's one of the studies: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26869476 Some more info and context: www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/08/15/todays-men-are-nowhere-near-as-strong-as-their-dads-were-researchers-say/
Manual labor. I sat on my ass for 6 years in the Navy, doing computer shit, got out & did some jobs with guys who had pretty much been knuckle draggers their whole lives, realized I had a bitch grip. My dad is in his 60’s & could probably crush my hand right now.
I feel like the ultimate goal of every lifter should be to try to be like Odd Haugen, to think about longevity and to be strong enough ( especially mentality-wise) to lift forever and to think in the long run

I lift once a week with a 74 year old beast named John Smoker. Holds a couple WR for his age and weight class. He’s going for a bench WR in about 6 months. Old dudes are bionic.
Lukas Marten www.google.com/amp/s/www.southbendtribune.com/sports/uplifting-experience/article_fb9afe9d-8fd1-579a-963e-b8fbaf6084ba.amp.html first article i found there’s many more on him
Mr Odd Haugen has just given me a golden advice. Have to move when you are recovering from an injury. I have a shoulder tear since 3 months. Pain is still killing me but I took only one week off. Been training legs , abs and claves for a long time now.
@@ssdsdsdsdsds684 actually tendons become more brittle when on steroids. that's why juicing pro bodybuilders reduce the weight they lift and go for more repetitions, to avoid injury.
He's a tremendous athlete for any age. Can't help but wonder why he needed both hips replaced ? Was it from an accident falling or something or wear and tear from training ? I had always thought that the strongman, power, Olympic type training strengthens the hip preventing injury and the need for replacement.
Just so you understand the monumental task of the world record Odd holds, gaze upon the majesty that is. legendarystrength.com/odd-haugen-lifts-inch-dumbbell-65-times/ Yeah read the title of that one. Imagine picking up 336lbs 33 times and you get the feel for just how stupidly impressive this is. He's also know as The Iron Grip Viking and for good reason.
Every time you do regular deadlifts, the last rep of the last set hold the bar as long as possible. Farmer walks also help tremendously and will make your upper back huge. Use mixed grip instead of straps for deadlifts. Use fat grips when you do dumbbell work.
@@bighermstick7994 I would add double overhand deadlifts, axle holds, hanging from thick bars/ropes/climbing implements. Also training pinch grip, trying to hold 2 plates togheter only with fingers. There is no one way to get a strong grip. You can get very creative with your training. Most people have a weak grip mostly because they're treating it as an afterthought.
continuously working out will give you denser bone mass and muscle composition to prevent that at a higher age. lot's of athletes stay healthy at old age, because they continue their workout routine to some degree, even after retiring from competition. look at guys like walter röhrl, he's 71 years old now and still cycles 60km almost every day.
@@TheWolvesCurse yes, but we all got to accept the fact that our body breaks down and becomes useless after a while. Yes it's important to keep exercising to keep up our health standards, but beyond a certain age rest and recuperation is what's most impt. The average life span of a human is about 80 years old. This dude is almost 70. He already has more than half of his body in the grave already. No point trying to push yourself and ending up in the hospital for all kinds of injuries. At that kind of age you'd want to cherish every single moment that you have left on this earth, cause you know that at any moment death would come knocking on your door.
@@seanlim222 mybe he cherishes these moments by working out, because to him it's fun, and not a chore. ever thought about that? why not fill the last years you have in this life with what's most fun to you, instead of laying in bed, bored and just waiting for the reaper to get you?
JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK PEOPLE REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR TODAY NOT TOMORROW PEOPLE WHICH IS PROMISED TO NOONE ON THIS EARTH AT ALL
