I don't think he was trying or he's trolling. I scored double that on the grip strength test last week at the Doctors. 154 on my broken hand alone -I don't think he was trying very hard -I expect his grip strength would be off the charts in the 180s or 190s.
I kind of am surprised. I just used the same machine and got 61kg (134 lbs) on the right and 45kg (99 lbs) on the left. My grip strength is technically better than Alex's. Wasn't expecting that lol.
So why all the fuss? Assuming the machine is actually functioning properly, he is either not trying that hard or his grip strength is very specific only to climbing maneuvers.
Not trying to be mean, I love Honnold, but that's low for a professional. World class professionals have 158 pounds (72kg), you can see Mitdbo and Megos take a grip strength test on youtube, that's what they get without a warmup. That's why all of Honnold's friends joke about him that he grips like a kitten. He himself admitted he doesn't have strong fingers, he can't do bouldering well because of that. I can do around that (40kg) and I'm a very lowly noob at climbing. He's very good with stamina, though, which helped on El Cap I'm guessing.
Common misconception that climbers have an abnormal tight handshake: You are training your fingers and hands to hold on a wall and not to break a broomstick by just squishing it. Just different motions.
Sure the fame is fun now. Just wait until the fake moon landing crowd decides free solo was fake and he ends up having to KO some asshole screaming in his face lolol
lol, when a random stunt instantly turns into a deep analytical investigation.
who know the difference between GRIPX and CAMRY, its $5 cheaper than that https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RZWB57J

He said himself that his weakness is his weak fingers
The rather large weakness differential is most likely coming from an issue in the cervical spine

Wait a second. Based on these grip strength norms, he is just average for his age and gender.

his grip strength is about twice that of a normal man
He looks like the reaper from Fortnite in that suit
I think those readings are off by a whole decimal point….
Strong average for 20+ year old males is about 50 lbs guys for reference. Hes ridiculously strong (obviously).

oof
I like how he’s like “oh only 93 pounds that’s bad”
My palms started sweating from reading the comments
He was legitimately concerned lol.
So that's what happens to hands if you feed them after midnight. . .
Those things are so stupidly inaccurate it's not even funny.
I am so sick of seeing this guy everywhere. He’s too nice and lovable
For anyone that wants to compare his grip strength to other top level athletes. https://youtu.be/IwSaYtXe2Ro
Idk what event he’s dressed for but I 100% expected him to show up for it barefoot in shorts lmao

I got 6000 pounds, fuck this pussy
I like how he’s legitimately concerned about it
Most people can only get 25 pounds.
Them mitts
normal people pop veins doing this shit and alex is just chillin
we know which hand he uses
So how does his hand strength compare to humans?
He just gave that device a touch, I am absolutely sure he would do way above 100 lb if he would go crazy and try to crush it.
I find him so attractive idk what it is about him
This is the kind of guy that never jacks off and transfers his testosterone to bolster finger strength.
I hate feeling weird shoulders, it's very unsettling when you're doing sports
i got 170 lbs
Great now you made him worried about muscle imbalances 😂
Left hand gang💪🏻💪🏻
Sure the fame is fun now. Just wait until the fake moon landing crowd decides free solo was fake and he ends up having to KO some asshole screaming in his face lolol
Without any context, what's the point? You give no info as to what an average grip is or any other context. For shame!
I guess that solves which hand he prefers to use… For climbing yourself fucking pervs
Everyone knows which one is his wanking hand now. Lot of lonely nights in that van it seems
have the cameraman test it for reference next time, I have no clue if those are impressive results, I'll just assume they are
This would have been interesting if they showed a bunch of stars doing it.
this dude doesn’t have hands he has mitts
