It looks like he's way more interested in this than the actual Oscars.
As am I. Just have Alex on screen all 3 hours talking about climbing.
Who wouldnt be..
ANYTHING is more interesting to a down to earth man
I mean who cares about some douchebags rewarding other douchebags
I am!
Guy at the oscars is more concerned with his asymmetrical hand strength than the fact that he’s being interviewed at the oscars!
Authenticity is a peculiar thing
@@Plathismo I watched the movie. Very familiar with the guy. Probably couldn’t care less about his celebrity beyond it continuing to support what he’d rather be doing. It’s refreshing to see someone genuine like that interacting with a Hollywood type; it’s like watching Star Trek or The Twilight Zone
@@honkytonkinson9787 Yeah, he is unique. Brain not wired like the rest of us.
Dude climbed El Capitan without ropes and a harness, I think he does not give one shit about the oscars and is just there because a documentary was made about him.
"Without a harness" is somewhat redundant when mentioning the lack of rope.
I really like the guy.. He's shy and awkward in the right way and confident at the same time
The device is not testing his hand. His hand is testing the accuracy of the device
Meanwhile during the award ceremony, a real human stands outside and doesn’t give a ducks fart about the oscars lol..
conservat1vepatr1ot DL funny how you think Alex Honnold is anything but an alien
Josh Fuerbringer
touché. you raise an extremely valid point..
@Fast Internet
If you are saying that Weezy is a GZ for sheezy, I absolutely agreezie. (The interview he did with ABC made me really respect him. He handled Linsey Davis’ stupid questions spectacularly).
@@scot909
Appeasing sponsors, others that make parts of your world go round. Plenty valid.
My left hand has a better grip as well. Even though I'm right handed.
bruhh i thought i was the only one.
My left hand has better form when I play the piano, even though I'm right handed too. It literally looks like my dominant hand.
Bro I'm right handed and jack off with my left hand too. It makes it feel like someone else is doing it
often you do the fine work with your right, like opening a door with your keys while holding all the groceries with your left
And I'm a leftie and basically my whole right side of torso (pectoral muscle) and right arm and hand is stronger!
That left hand is so much bigger than his right holy shit
Someone needs to show him how to use the device correctly. His grip should be double that
really like this dude alot
He needs to take blood pressure in each arm. If they are different, he has a blockage decreasing blood flow, diminishing his strength. He can also do the stick-up test. Reach for the sky, like someone is pointing a gun at him, for about 10 to 15 sec. If that right palm is drained of color that fast, likely blockage.
Never change honnald
What's a normal grip strength for reference?
Could someone please tell me the name of the device? I need it ASAP lol
I think the fact that he’s alive is the biggest testament to his grip strength
Didn't he end up dying?
NM he's alive thankfully!
Free solo dosent really rely on grip strength. It's slab so most of the weight is on his feet
@@jacobbabcock8943 please dont undermine the level of strength and skill it took to free solo el capitan xD
True, clearly he has the right amount.
It’s really nice of him to get dressed up just for a grip strength test.

I dress up to use the toilet.
Sadly that was the only way I learned how to poop.
Its been 20 years
That’s what I was thinking.
Weird
He’s dressed up because he’s at the Oscars...
For those commenting on his average grip strength, you need to remember the kind of climbing Alex does. He doesn't just just have a grip strength of 93lbs, he can maintain that strength for hours
93kg* (204lb) its actually pretty impressive
@@JDPrimeShots Nah mate. Check the tapes. It's pounds. But I think it may be a prank
yea i can do 144 pounds on that thing and i cant hold myself onto a wall nearly as long as him i struggle doing 5.10s and im only 180 pounds its a different strength
@@CalebBohanon i dont think so, hes not a strong guy he just doesn't tire. Its like being surprised that a long distance runner has skinny legs
@@bjork5178 wrong, climbers have insane grip strenght. He's trolling for sure
I like how he’s legitimately concerned about it
like a "wake up call" for someone that seems to already be very awake
He does freeclimbing, his gripstrength is what let's him grip a hold or slip off of it and fall to his death.
fausti00 freesoloing not free climbing
Cosdoc30 I’m pretty sure you don’t need to correct him. Especially if freesoloing doesn’t hit to climbing at all.
@@Cosdoc30 I mean he does free climbing as well, it's just not what he's best known for
He looks waaaaaaaay more concerned than he ever was on El Cap lol
Lmao
Certainly more intrigued by these findings than a human unicorn on the side of a mountain
Well it is weird. I'm assuming he's right handed
TheMacallan86 i mean the last thing you want to be climbing up a fucking huge ass rock is to be nervous😭 it’s probably his most calm state in fact
He was all smiles on el cap. Breezed right through it.
I heard this guy comes from a great family his mom being a teacher and his dad a mountain goat.
Literally laughed out loud as an image of his actual mom came to mind. She lives pretty close to me. 😂
😂😂😂
His Mom climbed El Cap at 70 years old :D That Family is maad :D
@@DanielReiboldso it's momma who's a mountain goat¡
His dad is a mountain goat?😂 Oh... What are you on about?
He looks 18 and 40 at the same time.
It's the hairstyle 100%. Everyone with this hairstyle take note!
Well, being the same age as AH, I'd say as you get older you give less of a shit about hair, style, etc
He will climb your house and find you.
He is.
How does he look 18 you’re blind lmfao
Is it just me or does this guy look like a combination of 10 people you know
All of em'....
😂
Looks like ryron gracie
Just don't look at his face on shrooms
How do you know which people I know
Great now you made him worried about muscle imbalances 😂
I don't know if anything worries him???
@@nstratford9073 pretty sure that will make him train his right arm more 😂
Once heard from a grip test wirh magnus midtbo, that climbers left hands are often stronger cause the arm cannot compensate that much (normaly right arm stronger)... so it equals moreless out, which is nice for climbing
Julian Beck you’re saying the fingers or other fine motor / grip strength can often compensate for the other large motor muscles like the bicep, tri’s and lats? Interesting... makes sense to me...
Noah Goldman you should let Alex know that
Top athlete and gentleman with nothing to prove in a world of show offs. Just does incredible feats of intelligent endurance and doesn’t boast.
Goes out and does it alone w just nature to see

@@Kingdingaling503 lol .... pocket pool 😂
All jokes aside, I do understand why he is concerned since his life literally depends on his grip strength
I think what’s more important is the duration of how long he can hold that grip strength which he’s proven to be HOURS long which is just incredible
The finess of his strength and endurance
Nah he knows EXACTLY why he’s left hand has more grip 😂
I think all men have one hand stronger than the other. It is normally the one you only use for that one thing. If you do it correctly it is your off hand.

What movie?
When you realise the surgeons lied and that only one arm is bionic.
When you realize his grip in both hands is extremely weak. He wouldn’t even be able to close a captains of crush #1. Great rock climber, but not a big grip on him.

@@johnd9357 yeah mate im a fairly average climber and my grip strength is enough to close the CoC1 butit hasn't really helped with my climbing. Strangely, using a hangboard, I get more sore, and i see better results than CoC. I guess it's a "different" kind of grip...

Why tf is someone walking around with a grip strength meter at the oscars anyway?
They probably knew he was gonna be there and planned to ask him
I'd ask every celebrity to test it when I pass around disgustingly cute baby chickens, as I am fearful the chicks might be harmed by celebrities

That's literally what his brain is screaming... repeatedly. Armchair Psychiatrist here: Two separate special ed teacher friends agree they think Alex is likely on the autism spectrum and/or a straight sociopath. *I'm saying this purely matter of factly, not an attack on Alex I'm a huuuge fan, his honesty & bluntness is amazing* But when you see his behavior, with his girlfriend in particular (ex now?), he genuinely fits definition for a number of developmental/behavioral issues. Amazing for him that he's been able to channel it...
What are you talking about
@@pcd1377 he just got married to his girlfriend I don't know we're you got that he's not with her anymore
@@skillzQC12 sorry I put that invisible question mark after ex now because I wasn't sure
@@pcd1377 I think they confirmed that he was on the spectrum in the documentary. They did scans on his brains simulating instances when a human would feel fear. Except when the average persons brain would light up on the scan indicating that they are perceiving fear and consequences, Alex’s brain on the other hand doesn’t work that way. His brain never let up or was stimulated by fear. He just can’t really perceive it. All he wants to do is climb.
prolly the most interesting thing he found at oscars
it's definitely far better than any propaganda
I like this video. Shows the type of person he is. Obsessed with his craft and not with the fruits that come (oscars) in a suit but acts like it’s any day climbing. This guy is a champ
Special meaning inspirational, great and impressive.
Thank you for a mature comment. My mind went to exactly that- this man is an ELITE. Something as small as a grip strength test at the Oscars is giving him data that he’s trying to use and be better.
@@ckokomo808 it doesn’t matter to him if someone else does it or will do it it’s about the journey. Seeing your own self improvement is a reward in itself and we often forget that. In the end nothing matters there is no win in lifw
Agreed. He seems like a pretty chill dude

lol, when a random stunt instantly turns into a deep analytical investigation.
Now he's gonna be subconsciously thinking about how weak he is while he's climbing. Just perfect.

😂😂😅
everyone had the same joke, but this one’s executed right
immediately after, Alex was seen climbing the theatre.
Physical therapist here. The thing to consider when testing grip strength is placement of fingers while testing. There are four muscles that flex 3 joints of each finger, each one doing a specific job. The most important one for climbers being the flexor digitorum profundus which is only muscle to flex all three finger joints (DIP, PIP, MP). DIP being distal or joint furthest away from body. When hes climbing he’s promoting that joint and muscle the most. However, the grip test has him measuring PIP and MPs only bc his finger pads are not being test. This means the muscle he uses the most is not being tested. It is possible that he might not need handshake grip strength muscles to be as active bc theyre not used as much when climbing.
Cool story bruh.
@hbdinwid1 that is pretty interesting, so hand shake strength and climbers strength would technically be opposite in muscle groups??
probably a pull vs push thing. They hold on to their body pulling on their fingers/hands vs fully grasping. not sure tho@@babymusic3775

@@orlandopockets6372 Its almost like Sanni is the villain of the story.
@@orlandopockets6372 Thats just what I was thinking while watching Free Solo. Not to hate on Sanni, she seems like a nice girl, but how the documentary portrays her makes her seem like she is holding back Alex's potential, she represents normality, the very opposite of Alex. Maybe Sanni bringing some balance to his life would be a positive thing, but personally I think her idea of life is the polar opposite of his. To get off-topic, i do wish there was more footage of the actual free solo at the end. I would love a special edition feature where you can watch the entire climb.
Hmm, that's a catch 22 bud, the only reason you even know who he is or care about him is because he puts his life in danger
@@germfood7235 If it means anything to you, I can tell you that they did not make the doc in that way, so, if you see it that way, then, that's just the way you understand it/want to see it. They did not portray her like that -- you saw her like that. More than likely, they wanted to portray her as the emotional element to the story and to create a sense of, 'hey kids, it's better to get a wife than die on rocks'. They cared a lot about safety in the film, hence all the anti-free soloing they put across to stop people trying it. The filmmakers talk a bit about this.
My dad was a truck driver for 35 years. I remember going to a doctors appointment with him cause we was developing arthritis in his hands. The doctor had him do this and he had 200lbs in each hand. That’s as crazy to me
Your poor mother.
While i am surprised to see that Alex' gripstrength is not above 100lbs, i have to say that its a different kind of strength than what is used for climbing. I can close the CoC#2 (195lbs) but cannot climb steep overhangs unless the holds are jugs. I used the 40° moonboard for the first time recently and literally cannot do any move on it.
He wasn't even shaking lol.
hed be dead if he was shaking
Why would he be
@@diabl2master known for free soloing imagine shaking from a grip tester when you regularly put your life on the line and your grip is the only thing stopping you from splatting
No that's bollocks from both of the replies, this tests maximum closing force, not how much he uses when he climbs. Provided the testee exerts fully into the device, everyone's hands would shake. Doesn't mean his hands would shake whilst climbing.
He was chilling for sure, i guess he could get some more pounds if he tried
In case anyone was wondering, what is considered a strong grip for a person his age (33) is 55-56
Not disagreeing with you but I found these numbers to be interesting. I read that 40.5 kg is an average grip strength for a 30 year old, and that's just over 88 pounds. Then I saw the web page below appearing to show the same measuring device and it's numbers are way higher than that. But it also says source and population group unknown. And they list examples like the average NHL hockey player having 127 lb grip strength. I'm surprised he didn't register higher, but I'm guessing that his endurance, and the number of times he could squeeze and grip is over the top. Or if they had a device just showing the fingers clinching he'd be at the top scale.
\www.topendsports.com/testing/tests/handgrip.htm
@@makersmike2959 yeah yours is more correct that the original comment. We have a dynamometer at my work where we test grip strength and I've gotten around 100 lbs of force and I'm kinda average strength. I think they should be measuring his pinch grip not his grasp. I would think that would be more important for rock climbing.
Makers Mike I was thinking the same shit. Avg 33 year old is probably sedentary and not an elite athlete. And honnold is a marathon climber. I’m sure his grip strength is great for his build and for his climbing. I wanna see what a powerlifters grip strength would register on that
Rock climbers have incredible endurance, so I'm not taking anything away from them, but if you see this guy without his shirt on he realized that he doesn't have a ton of muscle. His frame is incredibly light so that he doesn't need to have a bunch of muscle to lift himself, he mostly uses his tendons to hold him up.
The average grip strength is based off of an average size male as well. Alex is only 155 lbs at 5' 11"
@@makersmike2959 Exactly. This device isn't suited to testing Alex's capabilities, or many rock climbers for that. As it tests grip strength. rather then finger strength.
His grip is not crazy strong he just has crazy high endurance on his hands.
Precisely - if you want to get great burst strength, then research the Captains of Crush grippers - these go up to 365 lbs, or around 200 RGC. Much higher than what we see in this video, which if accurate, is less than half. Its just different types of strength.
Fair point, but I would still assume climbers/calisthenic athletes have better hand strength than most athletes

Google tells me that the average male grip strength is 70 pounds, would've expected much better from the goat himself🤔
That's a crushing grip strength test, it's not that relevant to rock climbing. I bet if you had a rock climbing implement with weight hanging off it he'd do much better than the average person
I cant tell for sure, but I think the measurement is in kg. Would make a lot more sense that way
lol he immediately starts getting in his head about it
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.
zgsoad yes but when you hold onto something u use the strength of your forearm and down to your fingers and so do u when u handshake
@@alexdimitrov6299 By that logic any sprinter would be easily competing in high jump competitions because he uses the same muscles.
he's probably good at carrying multiple grocery bags.
@@pants1359 Abnormally tight is the keypoint. Of course you will have a firm handshake, but every Bodybuilder will squish you to bits because he actually trains to fully close his hand around a bar.
zgsoad Climbers will destroy bodybuilders in grip strength. Don’t be dumb. How many bodybuilders do you think specifically train their grip? Pretty obvious you’ve never climbed pal.
Legend says he's testing his hand strength to this day.
hahahahah, bravo
Down to earth guy, if some celebratie does something they would just do it once and leave, but Alex actually repeats it a few times.
I wish they had an ordinary person to compare against.
He basically doubled the average person, lol. By what’s considered ‘strong’ anyway...
About double
When I was in high school I had very similar numbers. Also I’m left handed and my right hand squeezed harder.
It's very avarage numbers.
@@orlandopockets6372 the average person has less than two arms and less than two legs :D
It doesn’t matter if his grip strength is 95 lbs or. 395 lbs - the man completed a free solo climb of El Capitan. No other measurements are necessary. You cannot beat that accomplishment. He wins.
Didn't even have a spock as back up.

Knowing Alex Honnold, I feel like the next day he began to work on increasing the grip strength of his right hand.
When he says he is a weak climber it's not humility. He has great endurance and technique(elite level). People think he has some kind of superhuman grip strength, but you could find a random gym bro with more grip strength than this.

Every time I see Alex, all of a sudden I feel very insecure about my hands
Lmao, like uncle Jack from its always sunny
I remember at the Oscars and “Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi” one of the directors got up and thanked Soni and everyone else but Alex Honnold who climbed the freakin wall. That’s pretty low.
Alex was the only non-actor on stage. All the others were pretending to be something that they are not.
Looks like Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder with those meaty hams he calls hands emerging from his relatively small suit
Everyone: making jokes about the relationship between him and his left hand
Me: his black tie ensemble is BAD
Weird how this pops up after i just watched free solo fo the first time ever
It's not surprising that Honold does not have an impressive amount of grip strength. He's an excellent climber not because he has extreme strength but because he has extreme strength to weight ratio. And of course he has the skills and cojones to back it up.
Thank you for brinning up a common misconception. Grip strength just like all strength is sports releated. You never use this kind of crush grip when you are climbing so you don't have to be strong here. This dynamometer (that I have gotten more then 200 pounds btw lol it's on my channel) only messures one kind of grip. So if you would have some other device that would messure climbing releaded strength he would most likey do pretty well.
Those numbers are kilograms and very impressive
@@Jon3tsy I happen to own the same type of dynamometer and it only goes up to 90 kg or 200 pounds, I even have a video about it. You can also pause the video at 0:07 it's says LB.
@@Jon3tsy Also you can adjust it but that type of grip is not used in climbing
@@Jon3tsy The device hes using clearly says pounds. Personally I don't know what is an impressive number, I'm just going off his reaction as well as the person who is testing him. But yeah definitely LBs.
Funny thing is, I climbed the same climb but with my back to the wall and upside down. Just didnt film it.
He's a rock climber. He does free hand climbing. He has reason for being curious
I woulda been shaking like a crackhead off his meths how tf..
He should play Spock in the next Star Trek movie
His total grip strength is actually kind of low. But I'm sure he's able to produce near that maximum force for a stupid amount of time. This was interesting
This is the greatest athlete of all time. He is an individual testament of human strength and will.
