Our hands are specialized for _grasping_, not for swinging. We grasp things all the time, but we swing very rarely.

Not strong enough. My hands certainly aren't strong enough to grip something and bear my own weight. I'm sure that can be trained, but it doesn't come as naturally for us as it does for brachiating apes.

Grip strength definitely requires training. Most of us leave a lot of performance on the table, as it were.
