Assess Grip Strength With Dynamometer or Dead Hang

Use either a hand-grip dynamometer or a dead hang from a bar thin enough to wrap the whole hand around. For men, minimum grip strength target is about 40 kg and ideally above 60 kg; for women, about 35 kg minimum and above 50 kg is strong. Left-right difference should not exceed about 10%. For dead hang, minimum target is 30 seconds, 30–50 seconds is decent but improvable, and above 60 seconds is generally good.
