Noticed that my girlfriend's dad's arm looks it belongs to her

Darn. It's either an optical illusion or she's an absolute monster arm wrestler!

She just understands the whole-body nature of fitness. Far too many of us neglect the grip.

Never skip forearm day!

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

[u/SirStrontium → u/CanAlwaysBeBetter]

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 dont believe you. Let's do the research. Lets get those forarm trainers in the hospitals asap.

Oh trust me, I never do

[u/HTD-Vintage → u/fez-of-the-world]

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

This lady apparently never skips forearm day since childhood
