superfeemiman Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Something to note from the addition: The top gripster on the list has bar-none the lowest Waist/forearm ratio. Does this hint that a good grip (at least for grippers) may more likely come from someone with a good body composition (low body fat%, muscle, etc.)? Probably not surprising, but interesting to note. Me, you (Bonzi), and five others have a 3+ ratio. Seems we are spread out at the bottom half of the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this hint that a good grip (at least for grippers) may more likely come from someone with a good body composition (low body fat%, muscle, etc.)? Probably not surprising, but interesting to note. Yep, pretty good correlation. Better body composition leads to better results. BTW, this thread was originally about BMI ratios. Seems to have come full circle to my first statistical grouping. Me, you (Bonzi), and five others have a 3+ ratio. Seems we are spread out at the bottom half of the list Exactly, superfeemiman, never let personal interests override the common good. I probably should update mine, but I still can't get that rusted #2 of mine shut. Also, I have been busting my forearms and have maybe added a 1/4 inch to 'em. If I could find room, I would like to add hand span from end of pinkie finger to thumb. Mark Felix has a 12 inch span and supposedly has the biggest hands on the WSM tour.

Seems to have come full circle to my first statistical grouping. Indeed, I didn't notice that. I just have an inherent interest in stats though (aka a statswhore), I like every addition. Exactly, superfeemiman, never let personal interests override the common good. I probably should update mine, but I still can't get that rusted #2 of mine shut. Also, I have been busting my forearms and have maybe added a 1/4 inch to 'em. If I could find room, I would like to add hand span from end of pinkie finger to thumb. Mark Felix has a 12 inch span and supposedly has the biggest hands on the WSM tour. lol. And by all means I would love to see hand-span added, it's as important as hand length if you think about it. I'm also hoping to update mine soon too. I've been consistently || closing my HG300, which I haven't done in a long time, and I've been getting to less than 1/4'' on the #3 with the same set, so I think I'm getting close to the big close. Yeah, I know 1/4'' is not really that close, but compared to my previous efforts I have increased quite a bit. Going from pretty much always closing no set or near that most workouts and then changing it back up to harder, intense heavy-single workouts tends to give me great gains. I just tried to confirm my beliefs and I can nearly hold my #3 shut except for the tiniest fraction, and I'm not at full strength right now.

MalachiMcMullen Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I suppose I'll add in span then just in case to get the ball rolling. From the tip of my thumb to the tip of my pinky, if I stretch quite abit I get 8 13/16 or 8.8125". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumpster Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Got curious on the span and measured both hands. I'm left-handed and my left seems a little more flexible since I get an extra 0.25" on it. Span = 10.0" My hands actually ache a little after doing that.

MalachiMcMullen Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Hmm, I just rechecked with a straight ruler(I used taylor's tape before, I know though that a straight ruler is more accurate) and got a good solid 9.0" Righty and 9.0" Lefty. Just trying to be as accurate as possible I really want to see how this list looks in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bonzi Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 (edited) These hand span measurements are interesting as they seem to be all over the map. It looks like very little correlation exists between hand size and hand span. Albeit, from a very small data set thus far. --------------------------F/W---Wrist--FArm--Waist--Gripper Closed--------Span-Hand(H)--P----F----F/H---Gr-W/FArm Coc#3--------------1.939--8.25--16.00--38.0--RB 330(Approx 3.8)-----------8.00--4.50--3.50--0.438--54--2.38 Wes----------------1.781--8.00--14.25--35.0--BBSE(Set) & BBE(No Set)------7.75--????--????--?????--52--2.46 StalwartSentinel---1.879--8.25--15.50--????--BBSE-------------------------8.25--4.75--3.50--0.424--52--????
