Work out grip strength norm instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Grip strength is a strong general marker of muscle function and even mortality risk. It peaks around age 30-35 at roughly 51 kg for men and 31 kg for women, then declines about 0.3 and 0.18 kg a year. The EWGSOP2 weakness cut-offs of 27 kg and 16 kg are used clinically to screen for sarcopenia.
Age expectation
expected = peak - decline rate x (age - 35)
EWGSOP2 cut-offs
27 kg for men, 16 kg for women
This is an estimate from population-average equations, not a medical or diagnostic assessment. Individual results vary with genetics, training history and technique. Seek advice from a qualified coach or clinician before making significant changes to training.
Because it proxies total muscle mass and neuromuscular function, both of which track overall physiological reserve.
Take the best of three squeezes on the dominant hand, or the average of both if following a clinical protocol.
