A New Study Finds That Men Are Weaker Today Than They Were 30 Years Ago

Think you’d beat your dad in an arm wrestling competition when he was your age? Bad news: he’d probably kick your ass.

Men today are weaker than they were 30 years ago, research in the Journal of Hand Therapy found.

In the study, men aged 20-34 have lower grip and pinch strength – which measures how strong your hand and upper extremities are – than the same aged guys did three decades ago.

In fact, the average grip strength for men ages 25-29 is nearly 12 kilograms lower today than it was before.

  2. That was supposed to say "Playing on a computer or fiddling with a cell phone is NOT much of a workout".

    I guess I should wear my glasses when I am typing.

  3. Remember too, there was a time when boys were expected to go outside to play and in high school they took shop classes when they worked with their hands. But being a beta male makes you easier to control and dominate, by a system that wants you to be weak and docile.
