Guest Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I would be USELESS the next day after grippers. Would have to wait at least a day before doing thick bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Climber028 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 10 minutes ago, Joseph Sullivan said: You mean 2.5 is 80% of the 2 inch no? 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%.

Lucasraymond Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 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#. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kluv#0 Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Enough of the percentages,etc maybe just appreciate a 51 year pulling more than 99.5% of gripsport athletes:) Good day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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”.

wobbler Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 % 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
