Men’s grip strength has declined 31% in 29 years — that’s over 1% each year.

Strength scores were statistically lower that older normative data in all millennial grip strengths.

Specifically, this statistically significant trend was observed in all male grip strengths.

When we think about strength in the modern world it almost sounds absurd.

Because strength may not seem very necessary in today’s world where most men sit behind desks at work all day.

But what if we looked at it from a different perspective?

We all know men who are sickly thin or extremely overweight.

These mealy men profess to be nice guys, perfect gentlemen, but we don’t respect them as men, or gentlemen either.

They’re good men, but not good at being men.

The reason we may like a nice but soft man, but not think of him as manly, is because his claim to virtue is weak if he doesn’t have strength to back it up when challenged.

What good are intellectual achievements and moral principles, if those who hold and cultivate them are subdued by those who care nothing for these higher values?

It’s important to have principles, but are you prepared to fight for your principles?

Likewise, can you truly say you’re a “good family man” if you could easily be outmuscled by a bad guy who grabs your wife’s butt?

Strength forms the backbone of the code of manhood.

Before the modern world a man had to be physically strong to survive and reproduce.

The ones who did not have enough strength, didn’t get the ability to pass on their genes to future generations.

So if you truly think deep about this, it means that all of us are some sort of a byproduct of the strongest and bravest men in history – the alpha’s.

It’s no stretch to conclude that the blood of greatness runs through yours and my veins.

So, what are you doing with that genetic inheritance?

Maybe you’re already working out and taking care of your nutrition.

But are those workouts optimized for strength?

Are you getting stronger?

Is your grip stronger?

Are you eating minerals and trace elements that help your grip strength?

Strength is power.

Your wife will feel safer around you.

Not just physically but emotionally.

She’ll be able to step more into her feminine.

Getting back into shape is much more than vanity.

Your physical transformation combined with extra strength puts a whole new man into your household.

And as the old saying goes “Change the man, change the household. Change the household, change the community.”
