From the Introduction
Of all the numbers that predict how long a life will run, few are stranger than the squeeze of a hand — and once the writers in this book learned what grip strength correlates with, they could not un-know it.

A note before you read
This book is a collection of personal, first-person testimonials offered as companion reading. It is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical condition or decision.
About this volume
Inside this volume
Fifty first-person accounts start with a dynamometer reading — at a health screening, a physical, a longevity clinic — and follow what people did with it: dead hangs and farmer's carries entering middle-aged routines, climbing gyms discovered at fifty-five, rehab after arthritis and carpal tunnel, and retests that moved. Writers are careful about the correlation-versus-cause question and honest about it: grip is the messenger of whole-body strength, and training answered the message.
Who it's for
For anyone whose handshake was measured and found wanting, building strength from the hands inward, or curious what the squeeze really says.
