Back in 1985, men ages 20-24 averaged a right-hand grip of 121 pounds and a left-hand grip of 105 pounds. Today? That's down to 101 and 99 pounds.
As a society, we're no longer built on agriculture or manufacturing. We're all about tech now, especially for millennials, which impacts physical strength.
Grip strength norms aren't just numbers - they're critical for evaluating injury recovery and overall health. A weak grip indicates a weak body overall.
The study shows that today's grip strength is a shadow of what it used to be, suggesting a significant shift in physical demands on modern humans.
