You are probably close to 200 on the 2.5 inch no?

Heck no, my hands are 7 1/4" so I always tell people that when I get to 180lb and above the Mayor should give me a ticker tape parade. 50lb difference between my 2.5" and 2" is probably the biggest disparity in gripsport

I would be USELESS the next day after grippers. Would have to wait at least a day before doing thick bar

I soak mine in Epsom salt for 15 minutes x3 the last 18 hours. Felt ok but motivated:)

You're around 80%, that's the typical difference. 2" is 80% of 2.5" so it makes sense.

I finished 30th on the 2.5"crusher at KK you find 29 guys that can lift 225plus  on the 2" crusher- best of luck and your percentages

Well, 2 is 80% of 2.5 and the weight lifted you could theorize as being 80% but it's an inverse relation. Obviously as handle size goes up then weight lifted goes down. Same thing was discussed in an axle thread where the average difference between 2" and 2 3/8" was 86% when they're actual difference is 84.2%.

Could that be because the 2.5" is more popular?

I think with smaller hands you are going to see a bigger drop off due to 2.5" crusher being more of a pinch versus a true support grip position with your fingers under the handle like the 2". My current PR on 2.5" is 174# and 2" 212#.

225 vs 212 is a HUGE difference

Definitely didn't intend to criticize, I'm a math nerd just having fun. Strong no matter what, I'm just looking for patterns. I've never even touched a 2" crusher but now I'm really curious to see how it goes, I also have small hands.

Right.... you can lift 84% on a 2 3/8 axle of what you can on a 2 inch. Ideally. That’s what I said. Same thing for the 2.5 crusher compared to the 2 inch “ideally”.

Yea I think it would only average out if you had like 100 guys submit their lifts. Any single person is going to have huge variations

% everyone is talking about is a typical person's 2" vs 2.5", they're not saying your lift is like in the top 80% or anything like that

I agree with that 100%,  just stating my thoughts and personal experience with the same events; not sure why you have to be a jerk to everyone posting on here that is saying absolutely nothing negative about your lift. Didn't realize you needed everyone else's approval to justify yourself; so I'll refrain from conversing in the future.

It's ~ 5.6% difference in case you were wondering and if you hadn't seen enough percentages

Yes! I hope Mike doesn’t think anyone was downplaying his AWESOME LIFT! Not by a long shot!

I was not thinking that at all- I just think it is human nature to want people to say nice lift or whatever when anyone posts on here- I guess I wasn't prepared for percentages but it is all good.

Not my intention to be a jerk to you- I was just stating that 12 lbs is significant on a rolling handle lift.

I think my difference may be similar too. Awesome lift!
