    Now, there is a caveat here. The participants in the North Carolina study were recruited from college and university settings, so they’re not representative of the population as a whole.

    I’m 34, born in 1982, technically a millennial.

    Stop lumping everyone in Gen Y together. Create a new differentiation for the snapchat generation.

      I’m 34, born in 1982, technically a millennial.

      I’m a ‘79 and possibly losing my grip on the timespan “millennial” covers. Though we were the tail end of Gen whY? And millelllianialo’s was like 1990 onward?

      Damn all these fucking terms.

      someone get off my lawn.

      Gen Y is Millennial, and at 1979 depending on source you could be a millennial, some say 1976 some say 1982, some say 1980.

    Maybe I’m not that young anymore, but I feel like when I grew up men and women just casually did more things around the house, more yardwork. More housework. Stupid shit like that adds up. I hope I never stop doing chores, fixing cars, minor house repairs...

      You know what casual thing these wimpy millennial kids should be doing around the house?

      Sets of kettlebell snatches, that’s what!

      I recently heard an older couple talk about their marriage and one of the big issues they kept coming back to was all of the things in the house that the husband was supposed to fix—doors, bookshelves, etc. My immediate reaction was “why not just get a Task Rabbit?” and then I struggled to find the strength to grip the pen in my hand long enough to write that question down to ask them later.

    Can confirm. Have you ever shaken an old guy’s hand? Like real old, fought in World War 2 old. It’s like the military replaced their hands with vices so they could get a better grip on German throats.

      Can re-confirm. My husband was a big ol’ thing, an athlete, 6'2", hockey coach, hands like a catcher’s mitt, but he would always look a little timid whenever my 5'4" uncle, a WW2 & Korea vet, would reach up at him with his handshake of IRON. From his wheelchair no less.

      My great uncle had hands like rocks. Not open-this-jar strong, more like unscrew-this-seized-and-rusted-bolt-with-your-bare-fingers kind of strong. He had one leg so he used crutches his entire life, which was part of it, and he was a subsistence farmer, planting and harvesting by hand and chopping a lot of wood. He never had kids and lived in a remote area, so he did everything for himself until the day he keeled over.

      We don’t even let/make out kids exercise anymore, let alone work. I don’t really know anyone my age who works like that or who is as strong as my Uncle was into his seventies. I’m kind of embarrassed to say that, embarrassed for my generation!

    A bunch of goddamn pansies, is what they are! Me and my friends used to do nothing but punch each other in the faces every chance we got! Of course, it was playing old Atari 2600 boxing games, but still, the point stands—men were men back in the day!

      This reminds me of a game I used to play with my friends in high school. We called it “Slap Face” (patent pending) and you played it exactly like what you would expect.

      Good times.

    The thing that amazes me about working with you Americans, straight out of US college, is that they cannot use public toilet.

    Is funny when in steel mill in India, and they find out we have open pit to use because customer will not build toilets until later time. Even better when they learn they will be squat toilets.

    I once had US coworker want me to drive them back to hotel because they cannot use American port-a-toilet.

    This I do not understand.

      Because we come from a country that actually has functioning sewer systems and find most third world type practices like this rightfully appalling.

      US is far from 1st world in terms of sewer systems. It is rare in first world that rain kills people. In US, it does not make news.

      Depending on source... 1976 or 1982 to 2000. Make sure you don’t accidentally fall in there.

    You will find that grip strength and function correlates and connects directly with rotator cuff function.

    When you grip something very hard, your nervous system instinctively fires the RC to prepare for action. Think grabbing a heavy suitcase for example.

    Further, the pinkie side of the grip will correlate with the oft-punked external rotators of the shoulder. So purposefully squeezing the pinkie side will sometimes clear up shoulder “clicking” on pull ups right away.
