Grip strength is unironically actually a really important indicator of overall health

People really get the cause and effect backward here though. When looking at large datasets, those who have good health have average healthy forearm strength, and people in declining health have significantly reduced forearm strength. An unhealthy person training their forearms won't magically make them more healthy.

I never miss a day! Most days, one arm gets more of a workout than the other, though.
