Darco Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I'm sure this already appeared but the search function is rather limited so I'll ask it here : Who among those who has certed on the #3 with a credit card has the smallest hands and what do they measure.

Vice Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I have no idea, but I'll guess 7 1/4". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griparrayxp Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I have no idea, but I'll guess 7 1/4". If that's the case then I just barley make the mark.......I believe from measuring I am somewhere inbetween 7 1/4 and 7 3/8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grippster Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Wow, so with 7 inch hands if I decide to certify I'll break the record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I really have no idea, I just thought it'd be fun to guess. Don't let hand size get in the way of your dreams guys. If you want something then make it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotGrip Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Satohisa Nakada had 7" hands and was one of the first COCs, I believe he used much less than a parallel set, but I'm not sure if it was quite at credit card level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griparrayxp Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 On a more serious note....Teemu has stated that his hands are just of 7inches...guessing about 7 1/4, and he is right around the corner from certing on the 3.5..........He could probably cert right now if he wanted to, but what I've read from him, he likes to MAKE SURE he will succeed. On his coc3 cert he completely dominated it. Second note........Helsep is only 5'10'' and guessing his hands are of gigantic porportions either, and he has vids. of him repping a #3 for 10 with full range reps. It's more the heart than the hand size that matters here, though I am sure anyone under 7inch hands is going to have a heck of a struggle.....I still think it can be done.

SilentDude Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 My hands are 7-7 1/8th inches... I always measure after a workout for some reason so I'm a little shakey hence the inaccuracies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZFJango Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I have 7" hands, and it is an impediment to CCS and TNS, but small hand size is not an insurmountable obstacle. Will, work, and determination will get a person just as far as they are willing to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Matney Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 If you can CCS a #1 but not a #3, hand size isn't the issue. Strength is the issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentDude Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 If you can CCS a #1 but not a #3, hand size isn't the issue. Strength is the issue. True. It seems strength is the issue for a majority of strength feats. I think it's more fun and adds even more merit to someone if they can close a strong gripper with a CCS while also having smaller hands. To deny that it's slightly more of an obstacle is a bit silly. The fact is everyone's hands are a little different and we have to work with what we've got and make the best of it. I've honestly wanted to see how my hands fit on a blob or an inch dumbell just to assess the challenge. I've never had the chance though. I should show you my cousins hands... Very similar to Slims in how they look. They are 9 inches from middle finger to the first crease in his wrist. I gave him a #3 and he smashed the initial sweep and hit a wall slightly past parallel. Isn't the last bit of the crush supposedly more difficult for bigger handed gents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Matney Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I don't see how the last bit would be any harder for someone with big hands. I mean yeah andre the giant might have had some technical issues, but barring gigantism and dwarfism, there are no excuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentDude Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 hah! Just imagined Andre with a gripper. It would be worse than when Magnus certified. It would just disappear completely. Anyone know how big his hands were? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this post is really old, but the misinformation here is pretty flagrant. I believe Teemu posted in at least one of the hand size threads. He was sub-8" but not by much. It has always stuck with me that our hands were similar and I'm 7-5/8". He was in the sub-8 crowd but not really the " small hand" crowd.
