Episode notes
Grip And Waist Beat BMI For Longevity
- Grip strength predicts longevity because it proxies overall body strength, not because hand muscles are uniquely special.
- Waist circumference is a better mortality predictor than BMI because it reflects visceral fat and health risk.
Squeeze To Decide Workout Intensity
- Use a hand dynamometer before workouts to gauge CNS readiness and decide whether to train hard or easy.
- Average your grip scores over time and push when above average; back off when below.
Favor Full-Body Training For Consistency
- Prefer full-body workouts for most people because distributed frequency limits fatigue-driven volume spikes.
- Reserve body-part splits only after months of consistent training to avoid wasted overreach.
