One thing you have to keep in mind is that those hand trainers aren't super representative of the actual force being used. I would just reference them as low/medium/high.
To get a real number you'd need a hand grip dynanometer.

Thank you! I was thinking of buying a dynanometer. I'd have to go for an inexpensive one on Amazon. A professional dynanometer would cost me a rib cage.
Humblebrag? 90kg is without a doubt very strong. Just wach some vids of influencers challenging random people to test it. Even people that work with their hands all day rarely go up to 90kg...
90kg is strong, end of story.
Keep in mind grip strength is highly correlated with testosterone : cortisol levels which is a good way to measure recovery rate. So perhaps you’re pushing too hard. Use a hand dynamometer to measure accurately like another poster has said. Reference - https://www.t-nation.com/training/4-ways-to-test-your-recovery-rate/
Also your grip strength is quite strong.

May well be the case. The way I train my grip is by no means professional. I've got them sitting on my desk. That means every time I see them my brain goes: "Oh yeah! Grip training. Let's do a couple reps". Not having them in sight makes me forget about them.
As you may realise, the problem with this approach is that I train them pretty much every day. No rest days. Only once I feel tremendously sore. Definitely a failure on my part. Thinking of putting them out of sight, but having an app on my phone remind me to use them every few days.

Compared to the average it is, I'd say. Still, closing the last gripper (112 kg according to the package) would be a huge confidence boost. Will it improve my life? Probably not, though it was never about that for me. It's more consistency training to me. Stay consistent and see results. That will certainly help me in other areas of life.
