Optimum Range

What's the optimum range between grip when we perform side lever?

In my case I can hold side lever if range is about 6 palm( from pinky to thumb)

Thank you

That sounds a little narrow. In this video the athlete looks somewhere closer to 10-12 palm widths:

It feels like there wouldn't be an optimum range in general.  Maybe for each individual but optimum for me might not be optimum for you.  although for me at least wider is easier.  the more narrow my grip becomes, the harder the lever becomes.

That's because the narrower your grip, the less leverage you have, making it harder. Side levers are a bit complicated, though, because it gets really hard if your grip is too wide, too.

So it seems like individual preference then

Thanks guys
