FREE SOLO CLIMBER ALEX HONNOLD TESTS HIS GRIP STRENGTH 🤯

Alex Honnold explains that climbing builds highly specific strength. Years of crack climbing have even changed the shape of his hands from forcing his fingers into rock crevices. On a standard grip strength test he scores lower than a larger non climber, because the test measures a bar grip rather than the small edge holds climbers actually use. His point is that climbing develops precise, task specific strength, not just raw force. How high do you think you would score? #podcast #shorts #gripstrength
