Why it matters
A simple squeeze. A strong signal.
Grip strength is a simple measure that estimates your overall strength and muscle quality. It is also one of the markers researchers use to study muscle loss and frailty with age.
It shows up everywhere, from carrying groceries to holding a heavy deadlift. That is why grip is worth knowing and worth tracking, whatever your training looks like.

Why the number matters
Every kilogram counts.
Lower strength earlier in life has been linked with poorer health later on. Grip is an easy way to keep an eye on yours.
Leong et al., Lancet 2015
The good news: strength responds to training. U.S. physical activity guidelines recommend regular muscle-strengthening work for all major muscle groups.

Questions, answered.
What is a handgrip strength test?
It is a simple, non-invasive test that measures the maximum isometric strength of your hand and forearm muscles with a hand dynamometer. It also works as a quick estimate of your overall strength and muscle quality.
Why does grip strength matter?
Grip strength reflects more than hand power. It plays a part in everyday tasks like carrying groceries and lifting weights, and it tends to decline with age as muscle is lost. Every 5 kg drop in grip strength was linked to a 16% higher risk of death (Leong et al., Lancet 2015).
What is a good grip strength score?
It depends on your age, sex, and overall health. Men tend to grip harder than women, and grip strength tends to decline with age. Your result is compared with reference values for your age group, like the charts on this page.
How is my result measured and compared?
You squeeze a hand dynamometer with full effort, and it records your maximum grip in kilograms. Your result is then compared with normative data based on age, sex, and body size, so the number has context.
How often should I test my grip strength?
Many people retest every 6 to 12 months to track progress and adjust their training. If you play a sport or are coming back from a break in training, you may want to check more often.
Can grip strength be improved?
Yes. Targeted strength training and good nutrition can improve grip strength over time. Our team can share recommendations based on your result, and regular retesting shows whether your work is paying off.
