AdriaanRobert96 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) So quick and to the point, how big are your hands? By how big I am referring mostly to how long/tall or whatever you want to call it. Measured mine today and came in at exactly 22cm/8.66 inches. Let’s add span aswell since a lot of you brings it up, mine’s 26cm/10 inches and some.. Let me know yours Edited April 3, 2023 by AdriaanRobert96 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Ruby Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I think one measurement doesn't really tell the full story of your hand size. I think length in particular is the least useful where I feel span might be a better indicator of thickbar advantage or longer fingers in particular. All the measurements are in my signature. I don't hold to much weight on hand size as I have seen plenty of top grip guys with sub 8 inch hands.(Lucas Raymond/Adam glass/Ivan Beritashvili/Richard Sorin etc) I think where it really limits people though is certain feats with extra wide pinch or TNS closes. That said I do still think it's interesting and many top grip guys have had large hands and no doubt it probably helps with certain feats. Your hands are quite large longer then Carl Myerscough who is 6'10. Have you tested yourself on any thickbar? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Mine are about 7.5, and I am 5'6, 178 pounds. But I am not sure if my measurement is accurate. It can't be too much off, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C8Myotome Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Mine are 7.25", my height starts with a 6 (68"), I'm on average 185 lbs. I'm above average with grippers which is what I have always focused on most, and average at all the other static lifts that I don't really regularly train (I will probably never upload a saxon bar video here lol). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your hands are quite large longer then Carl Myerscough who is 6'10. Have you tested yourself on any thickbar? I totally agree on this one! Span is very important and a decent indicator as you stated. This was just a fun post to make, very interesting to see what kind of beasts we got here on the board I’ve done some thick bar before, more like a fat gripz extreme but never really gave it too much time and importance since I am so focused on grippers. With that said, my goal is to get that #4 and then move on to fat bar work and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like me, above average at grippers but mediocre at everything else.. pinch maybe is aight.. but pretty much like you Will get into fat bar after grippers.

Anemptybox Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Not sure I measure 100% correctly but around 21.5 cm/8.4" length and 25.4 cm/10" span, probably slightly less on both. Just over 6 feet tall. EDIT: I'd say the palm is the "big" part of my hands, my fingers are not that long, at least not optimal for doing CCS for example.

I’d say you should do pretty good with CCS with that size.. CCS is harders anyways in general I’d say. You good fam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about my pinky but it’s really long compared to other people.. It measures in at: 7cm/2.8 inches and some measured from the top to the first line on the palm side..

Yeah, I'm pretty good at all aspects of grip. I just need another year of consistent training to be at the top/pro levels. My max on RT is around 205lbs right now. There is still a lot of work to do. I'm closing in on a 400lb DOH axle. I can probably do it, but I haven't been recovered enough or able to try due to training for other specific comps. It is an event at some comps I am doing later this year, so I will get to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
