How the thumb war will help you
Get jacked hands
Every gym-bro already has big biceps,
but who out there can flex some meaty hands?
'Bulletproof' your hands
Your hands are almost always the first point of contact, so it makes sense to make them very strong and resilient. The stronger you make the base of the hands, the more protected you will be against injuries.
Get better at your sport
Having strong hands can be of huge advantage in many sports, including armwrestling, strongman, MMA, wrestling, etc.
Your new competitive edge
Having really strong and developed hand muscles is of enormous value for many different sports. However, most people assume that all grip strength is the same. This is not the case.
The most common forms of grip strength are the ‘supporting grip’ (if you hold onto something, like a barbell during a deadlift) and ‘crushing grip’ (if you use your hand to try and crush something, like a hand gripper). In both of these types most power will come from the fingers and forearm flexors.
However, that your hand can't fully wrap, for example an opponents arm, the thumb muscles become much more important. This is know as a ‘pinch grip’, which depends on the strength you have between your thumb and fingers. In MMA this way of gripping is known as a ‘C Grip’.
Most people NEVER train this part of the grip and are usually quite weak in this aspect. If you're pinch grip is much stronger than your competition, you have a great competitive edge here. The Thumb War is the ultimate tool to train your pinch grip through a full range of motion.
the secret to ´bulletproof´ hands
The hands are almost always the first point of contact, so it makes sense to make them very strong and resilient. If you do any contact sport where you’ll be falling on the floor a lot of the time, like grappling, BJJ, rugby, football, etc., it's especially important to be able to protect your falls with your hands.
If your hands and wrists are fragile and weak, you'll greatly increase the chance of injuries like spains, breaks, tendon issues, etc. Conversely, by creating a strong base you'll protect yourself
against this. In the same way that a storng neck protects you from
concussions, a strong thumb base will protect you greatly during falls.
Developing the 'pinky pad'
If we look at the musculature of the hands, there are two main regions of muscle. The balloony thumb muscle and the ‘pinky pad’. So far we mostly talked about the thumb part, which is the biggest muscle.
However, the so-called ‘pinky pad’ is also worth addressing. It's the part of muscle on the side of your hand, from your wrist to your pinky. If this part gets well developed, it adds a lot of thickness to your hand.
It's generally quite a hard muscle to target, but the Thumb War is the ideal tool to do this and allows it to be worked through a full range of motion.
The secret to a dominant handshake
It is well-known that one of the key ingredients to a good first impression is have a firm handshake. We all know that one person who gives the ‘dead-fish’ handshake, and it's not a good look.
The misconception about a good handshake however is that you have to squeeze very hard. This is not true, and if you're trying to hard to squeeze the other person's hand this may actually be a bad thing and you'll come accross as a show-off.
The real key to a firm handshake is to have very well developed, thick hands. Instantly, when someone shakes your hand they will feel the firmness of your hands due to its musculature, and you will barely even need to squeeze to give a great handshake.
