OldGuy Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Mr Sorin is looking trim and in the best shape he has been in for some time. I have no excuse now as I am the same age as Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octogen Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Thanks for the info Monte Cristo I've just had a look at that and i'd never even get close to getting my fingers over the edges to lift anything bigger than the 35! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte Cristo2 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Same Here, my hand couldn't span it lying flat. Not that I could lift it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianders1 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Richard is the hero of little handed people everywhere Is 7.75" little? My hands are the same size - I thought 7.5" was roughly average. Richard certainly is the man, though - unbelievable and pioneering grip feats and a successful and innovative equipment company as well. And it seems like he just keeps getting stronger and stronger. I have to ask, when is his book coming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekx Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Are we sure that he doesn't have electromagnets in his hands? So Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relevant to the wide pinch that is, which means span from thumb point to fingertip. Nils I'm sure our hands aren't exactly the same 'size' ....but my hands are 7 3/4" long and so are Mr.Sorins. Most wide pinchers are 8"PLUS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odin Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Mr. Sorin, your feats continue to astonish. I agree with Ian, a book would be very timely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most wide pinchers are 8"PLUS. Thumb to fingertip of 7 3/4 ? Hhmm, I thought that my hands were small at only a little over 7 long. But they are 8 1/2 wide at the widest which is what I use for extreme wide pinch (which by the way is from thumb to ringfinger, thanks to my pathetic pinky ) In any case. My hands could be 10" wide and I still wouldn't be able to pinch a blob by the face like Sorin! Nils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
