does hand size affects your performance in lifting?

probably not as much as grip strength

my hands are a little less than 5 inches long from wrist to tip of middle finger
holding the bar was a lot more difficult at first than it is now and i think that's due to an increase in strength rather than hand size

that being said, perhaps someone with larger hands could hold the bar better than i could just based on that variable. i dunno

>big palms short fingers
>wristlet
>tall
So far deadlifting is hard because shit grip strength
Squatting is easy as fuck and a joke
OHP is kinda easy - normal
Bench is hard with heavyweights but i have no trouble with volume bench days at all

If it translates directly into big wrist size, then quite a bit. If your wrists are still small, then you're still fucked.

At some point? Yes.

At the level of anyone on this board? No.

Look at the WRs in the lowest weight classes of oly weightlifting, done by guys at 125-140lbs and 5'4-5'6 - chances are those guys have smaller hands than you but they can lift way more.

Don't think of it as a limiting factor. If you have normal hands, then they shouldn't be a limiting factor in your lifting. Sure there might be a point at which bigger hands will have the advantage, but so what? Making excuses doesn't help so don't worry about it

Are you a woman

probable the reason why i can't bench more than 50kg, pencil wrist too

I start to have issues with my grip at 275 when deadlifting. How bad is that? Only been lifting since March

What grip do you use?

>>41919919

if you use double overhand that is normal.

>photoshopped hands

anon come now

I have thin wrists and the first thing to fail when I dl 4+ plates for reps is my grip. My forearms are tiny too and I'm a lanklet. Heavy rows and pullups don't really help, as they don't really fatigue my forearms too much.

How new are you?

Rack pulls with holds.

Rack pulls are easy as fuck to do and allow for a lot more weight than deadlift.

Definitely not the reason, quit being a fag. Women can bench more than 50kg and im sure your hands are larger than theirs. My bench is also 50kg but i dont train it, i dont blame it on

>>muh small hands
