I tried the hammering exercise and accidentally hammered directly on my hand. It swollen markedly and immediately became super thick

My age 71yr old having working on building sites for 50yr years as a joiner and going to the gym and doing bare knuckles planks on a wooden floor I never thought about my hands

why the negative comments. dude's just giving valuable info for free

Hard physical labor for long hours, over many years. My grandfather was born in the mid 1880’s, on a small farm. He started milking cows by hand twice a day, at the age of five. He milked 5-10 cows per day for the next seventy years. That man had hands and arms like Popeye. At that time in history, everything on a farm at that time required strong hands, arms, abs, and backs.

Good excuse to skip leg day... "...my thumbs are sore"

10:35 those microfractures heal by cells called "osteoblasts" are recruited to the site of the fracture. Osteoblasts are responsible for synthesizing new bone tissue,then they lay down new bone material, which eventually bridges the gap in the fracture and restores the structural integrity of the bone.

honestly this is the best tutorial teaching how to grow hand's muscle

9:00 Devon approves

Ever heard of turkish Ottoman-slap? :) Ottomans had a special unit that only trained to kill or disable a person with just one single slap! These guys were chosen and started slapping marble etc from very early age. They had massive hands. Recommend you to take a look at this interesting history, it relates to this topic :)

I have never thought of what you are showing and can already feel what you are doing. Great work!!

I like your video I am site carpenter Running roofing and building business First time I went to arm wrestling club all the lads said my fingers and wrist are mega strong for only75 kg fella Nothing gets your fingers and wrist better then carrying roof tiles in each hand 😂😂😂😂💪

Genius Stuff. Just subscribed. Male grip strength has been dropping generation after generation and is correlated strongly with mortality. This is important

I very much appreciate the explanation of wolf’s theory. I’m just a fan/observer of arm wrestling since the start of 2020, but the sport as a whole is fascinating. It’s very different from other combat/strongman sports and requires some simplicity yet nuance. Thanks! Isaac

Im a blacksmith by training and fabricator by work. I also have competed in grip strength and still training it now.. for sure all of those build hands, But nothing compares to direct gripwork. Heavy grippers, fat bars, vertical bars, bending nails and pinch. What i would add is a small rubber ball, size of a golf ball and squeeze it between your thumb and index finger. Great video bro! Keep it up

3 years doing mechanics and 6 years roofing construction plus 9 years in the gym and my hands are twice the size of my brothers

This video is incredible brother. Super informative and makes a ton of sense. Going to start implementing these strategies.

Chopping wood with an axe gave me a great hands workout.

some studies have already proven that high frequency vibration can lead to bone growth. so whenever your hand absorb vibration after a hammer strike for exemple, this will lead to a slow bone growth. time and consistency.

Great video. Very interesting. Very thorough. Better for having seen it. Appreciate you bro

Very informative, thank you very much! I broke my pinky knuckle last year and the hand muscles still haven't regained their strength 100%. Those movements will really help.

this video is really the best tutorial on youtube, thanks man!

Strength of grip is key to health and long life. Many people judge a persons health by their handshake strength. Strong grip leads to a l9ng l8fe.

Amazing job dude

Great video! Those different gripper techniques are gems. I can sleep happy tonight knowing that I learned something new. Thank you!

This is the most bro video I have ever seen. I love it!

I dreamt of armwrestling last night, and now I wake up to this in my feed 😁 Nice informative video. Thank you for the info 🤙

A very well made video. I really enjoyed the knowledgeable insights here and how they come out with real results. Thanks for this info

Great video 🙏🏼

Exercicio nº 1 - 2:47 Exercicio nº 2 - 3:24 Exercicio nº 3 - 4:29

I've was an electrician and now a mechanic and im a pretty big guy who lifts alot and stronger than average guy but on every job site or in every garage theres always a guy whos never lifted who makes me feel like a little girl when it comes to strength. Crazy how different everyone's gentics are

I have been doing farmers' walks for over a year, and I noticed my hands got thicker. I stumbled on your video, and I am excited to continue improving my hands thicken. 💥💪 Thank you for sharing 💯

The iron palm training will make your hands bigger, but using a cinder block is a pretty advanced place to start. A rice filled canvas bag is generally regarded as the starting point by most folks who are coming at it from a Kung fu or karate background. Anyway, great video, and cheers for being one of the only guys I’ve seen introduce folks to Wolff’s Law in a video like this. Disregard the bizarre number of negative comments here, they’re from people who enjoy having unconditioned hands. lol

Hi Kevin. First time watching your content and I've subbed straight away. Bone structure is super important in the sport as much as musculature so it's really handy to have knowledge such as this shared for people like myself who are only average in size all around! Cheers from the UK :)

My opinion (as a 20 year grip enthusiast) is it really comes down to genetics with respect to the size of your hand. I’ve smoked huge hand guys (mine are 2xl range) and have been smoked by smaller hands, as well. You can certainly get stronger, but making your hands huge by using cheap grippers is reaching. If you’re arm wrestler or a grip guy, focus on your sport and worry less about the size of your hand as getting stronger in lifts will do more for you than this will.

Excellent advice..

Good stuff! Love this topic, keep US updated! Can you make a video showing your progress and actual measures? We could have an idea of what Is achievable with dedication and specific training.

I know, as a truck mechanic, when I smash my hand with my 4lb hammer it gets bigger. Also works on fingers and thumbs.

My dad has massive hands of steel from his job doing shoe repair all his life and hammering stuff and basically doing a lot of these exercises shown here through using his tools on the shoes. He has some lf the strongest hands I've ever seen.

Thank you, Kevin..your video really helped a lot!

You could fix the red fence in your backyard, that would probably help too!!! 🙂

Take that hammer and wood and fix that fence.

great video, thanks kevin. great insight and simple recommendations. much appreciated

Great video! Saving this!

Here's my experience with doing this with the hand gripper, I've trained around 1.5 months doing this 3-5 times a week depending on how my wrists feel. (I'm injured now, I have to put a pause on training lol). When washing dishes, I used to stick my hand at the bottom of the cup to clean the bottom, nowadays my hand can barely fit in the cup hahaha. My hand has gotten noticeably thicker, and stronger. Good luck with your journey and pay close attention to how your wrist and fingers feel.

Great video ! Mechanic and martial artis here and i approve of everything. And If you want really significant gains then you gotta do what the guys with the thickest hands on the planet do, which are rock-climbers and to a lesser extend farmers in 3rd world countries with no machines ... I've seen skinny rock climbers with bear paws and i've been to india and saw farmer grandmothers with hands like gorillas ... it's easy to make a workout protocol like rockclimbers without actually going rockclimbing, same goes for farming, be creative :)

Great Tips! The irony is that the process or work to make these two machines is actually the kind of workout you need for thicker hands and is the best. Once I asked my good friend to make me something for grip training and then I realised wait, the work he has to do to make that grip tool is actually the best type of working out for grip, thicker hands, bigger fingers....

Buen video. Entrenar los dedos específicamente es la mejor manera de fortalecer toda la mano en general, incluso antebrazo. El único inconveniente con golpear concreto o la pared es que crea cayo en los nudillos que estéticamente se ve muy desagradable con el tiempo, sería más interesante forrar una madera con goma dura o algo así. Saludos!

I have a pair of those cheap grippers that I can easily do 50 reps with, but the exercises you showed are difficult!!! I can't even do ten. I almost threw them away.

awesome man thank you for sharing that really works!!!! it specifically targets those hand muscles!...

Impressive some ways and forms i havent though about before

Really nice video

My uncal and dad are carpenters, and bolth of their hands and fingers are massive

I do hundreds of palm strikes outer edge strikes finger tip and grasping strikes on all different sized trees at home. I noticed that both the palm muscles fattened up and got more pronounced musculature. This also improved the overall flexibility of my fingers and hands in general. This is part of my martial arts training. Good clip love all of the machines your using it’s interesting how arm wrestlers work on way different muscle groups to everyone else. 👍🤜💪

My dude was still replaying evry comments and is really work really straight forward thank you love your video

Really nice bro, I care for forearms and hand's because it is the greatest tool that made human history without it humans would have been not here where they are now. And also subscribed bro keep on the great work

Thanks a lot for sharing such valuable info! I was always wondering why new days boxers use the tire when Old School boxers used chopping trees with axe. Now I get the idea behind it. ;) ☼

Thanks, I'm glad I found such good exercises in this video

Thanks Kevin great info gonna try these exercises

I like those light weight ribbed grippers yo use. Who makes them? Where can I get them please and thank you

I can confirm construction is a really good method for thicker hands, even using a driller and impact gun makes your thumbs thicker

This really is the best tutorial

Grippers are fun. Thankyou.

I'm gonna build some beastly thick hands with this

I work for a living. I move 20-30,000 pounds a day. Have for 25 years. Get paid to do it too. No need for a gym or exercise equipment.

Framers use Wood handles if you hammer a lot the metal and plastic reverberates and can create tendinitis in the elbow. Great content and Blessings to You and Yours!

Thank you for your help❤

you do legit have the thickest small hands ive ever gripped up with felt like mini denis

I somewhere read that using lighter grippers and more repetition is going to increase the size of the tendons and ligaments. As the fingers are made of bones and tendons this kind of training should make your fingers thicker. Whats your opinion on that and or do you have other advices for making also your fingers thicker?

Thank you bro it help a lot

Love your videos Kevin, very precise on how you explain everything, also the medals, plaques and trophies(especially the gorillas) all motivate me!! 💪🏽 With the gripper work, is this something I can do as much as possible? Whenever I’m sitting and what not, is it possible to over train the hand? Thank you.

This basically hits my hands in the weakest areas!

Is there a rep and set range for the grip trainer? Or is it until failure?

Awesome video

it really really helps a lot

I would like to point out that hitting objects does not make your bones stronger. Wolff law mentiones that you remodel throught stress wich is correct but the only thing proven to increase bone density is actually strenght training, this is because the muscles contract to generate force and when they contract it pulls the tendons wich conect muscles and tendons and this causes bone growth and can only continue to grow stronger muscles through progressive overload wich doesn't translate into hitting things, even if you try to hit harder, your muscles will only contract as hard as your grip strength allows. Microfractures also don't heal stronger, to summarize there are cells in your body that breakdown bone tissue and build it back called osteoclast and osteoblast, if you give yourself microfractures the osteoblast have to fix that on top of the normal damage produced by osteoclast and won't be able to keep up. The great news here is that literally everything else you are doing does increase bone density, so regardless if you do the brick slapping or not you will end with very strong bones. Last note in the clip you used the chinese guy had a very big hand and some might point out that thais do a lot of shin conditioning. When you hit hard things you can create internal injuries wich as they heal can develop scar tissue wich makes the area feel bigger and stronger but is only a small layer of protection on the iniured area and wil, dissapear once it heals, but if you keep it up for long enough you can sustain the internal scar tissue wich results in the big deformed hand and the hand will be hard but you basically crippled your hand for a portion of the benefits of normal strenght training. As for thais, strenght training, running and plyometrics are proven to increase bone density and combat sport athletes tend to do a lot of that. Btw a plyometric exercise from traditional kung fu that is genuinely great for grip strength is grabbing a bag of sand, toss it and catch it, they also do gripping jars wich is genuinely great for finger strength.

Brother let's arm wrestle!! ❤🇬🇧

Great information bro, also incorporate pushups on your fingertips, knuckles, wrists and forearms only if you know how 👍

Thank you for sharing with us your know-how. You are professional Armwrestler👏🏆✌️Great respect from Poland Wroclove.

The ultimate grip str/hand conditioning content 👊🏻

Can you post a link to a gripper brand or product you like, please?

have a friend in his 80s who used to be a sailor, his muscles on the top is insanely huge

Awesome content, just invested in a loadable pinch grip machine!

Very interesting video. I’ve never considered how many different ways you can work your hands out

If you do heavy manual labour from a very young age , you will end up with shovels . HONESTLY 🖐 😂😂

You can gain some size, and obviously get stronger grip. But the size of the hand is similar to the wrist.. the size and thickness depends on genetics.

Very good bro !👍💯💪🙏🤩

Good training for Iron palm my dear friend .

Im on it! People have some strange comments. But what fell on your hand at 3:50?? Lol

i dont have any thing of these except the handgrip is it gonna make my fingers thicker or not and if not do you have any suggestions for making them thicker with dumbbells?

Extensor work like rubberband around your finger tips definitely hits the tendons, which also thicken, but also especially the pinky finger muscle, as it’s so short it’s already mostly straight and extended, where the other fingers are opening to straighten, so it’s working almost entirely the abductor.

Having thick hard hands do some chainlink cutting with regular pliers! Also nail bending the last thing for thickness would be grippers

Fist of fury, chocking the chicken technique 🐔🤛.

what level of resistance is the gripper you are using?

Awesome Video..

Yes Captain!

What a masterpiece contant brother thanku for giving this video

Dude. You just leveled me up. I can’t wait to piss my neighbors off. For real, though…. I love it. Thank you so much for your insight!

The guy that broke the rock looks like his hand is completely fucked up

I really need this because I want a big hand

You changed my life
