Get the most muscular hands in the gym
Most people don´t give a second thought to the musculature in the hand. However, the hand has actually quite a good potential for muscle size, especially around the thumb area.
Not only does this give your hands, which can be admired year-round, a unique look, but it can also give you a serious advantage in your sports’ performance and protect you against injuries.
Most dudes in the gym have big biceps, but who out there can flex his thumb muscle? ;)
*WARNING: SIDE EFFECTS MAY INCLUDE EXTRA FEMALE ATTENTION
Hands and forearms consistenly make it to the top 5 most attractive male body parts, according to surveys on women. Thick, muscular hands and strong, veiny forearms are key indicators for masculinity, and women will of course pick up on this. Do with this information what you want ;).
how the thumb war will help you
Get jacked hands
Every gym-bro already has big biceps,
but who out there can flex some meaty
hands?
‘Bulletproof’ your hands
Your hands are almost always the first
point of contact, so it makes sense to
make them very strong and resilient. The
stronger you make the base of the
hands, the more protected you will be
against injuries
Get better at your sport
Having strong hands can be of huge
advantage in many sports, including
armwrestling, strongman, MMA,
wrestling, etc.
the missing link in getting 'bulletproof’ hands
The hands are almost always the first point of contact, so it makes sense to make them very strong and resilient. If you do any contact sport where you’ll be falling on the floor a lot of the time, like grappling, BJJ, rugby, football, etc., it's especially important to be able to protect your falls with your hands.
If your hands and wrists are fragile and weak, you'll greatly increase the chance of injuries like spains, breaks, tendon issues, etc. Conversely, by creating a strong base you'll protect yourself
against this. In the same way that a storng neck protects you from
concussions, a strong thumb base will protect you greatly during falls.
your new competitive edge
Having really strong and developed hand muscles is of enormous value for many different sports. However, most people assume that all grip strength is the same. This is not the case.
The most common forms of grip strength are the ‘supporting grip’ (if you hold onto something, like a barbell during a deadlift) and ‘crushing grip’ (if you use your hand to try and crush something, like a hand gripper). In both of these types most power will come from the fingers and forearm flexors.
However, that your hand can't fully wrap, for example an opponents arm, the thumb muscles become much more important. This is know as a ‘pinch grip’, which depends on the strength you have between your thumb and fingers. In MMA this way of gripping is known as a ‘C Grip’.
Most people NEVER train this part of the grip and are usually quite weak in this aspect. If you're pinch grip is much stronger than your competition, you have a great competitive edge here. The Thumb War is the ultimate tool to train your pinch grip through a full range of motion.
Developing the ‘Pinky pad’
If we look at the musculature of the hands, there are two main regions of muscle. The balloony thumb muscle and the ‘pinky pad’. So far we mostly talked about the thumb part, which is the biggest muscle.
However, the so-called ‘pinky pad’ is also worth addressing. It's the part of muscle on the side of your hand, from your wrist to your pinky. If this part gets well developed, it adds a lot of thickness to your hand.
It's generally quite a hard muscle to target, but the Thumb War is the ideal tool to do this and allows it to be worked through a full range of motion
The secret to a dominant handshake
It is well-known that one of the key ingredients to a good first impression is have a firm handshake. We all know that one person who gives the ‘dead-fish’ handshake, and it's not a good look.
The misconception about a good handshake however is that you have to squeeze very hard. This is not true, and if you're trying to hard to squeeze the other person's hand this may actually be a bad thing and you'll come accross as a show-off.
The real key to a firm handshake is to have very well developed, thick hands. Instantly, when someone shakes your hand they will feel the firmness of your hands due to its musculature, and you will barely even need to squeeze to give a great handshake.
FAQ
It's true that the deadlift does tax your grip, but as with all exerises like these, you're not maximizing your grip strength potential. At best you're simply making your grip strength sufficient to be able to handle your deadlift. At worst, you can still not get your grip strength up to this level (like most people) and it actually becomes your limiting factor.
Hands are made to strong, and there's so much more strength potential if you just include some specific grip strength exercises. Never drop a barbell again and grow some godly forearms at the same time!
