small wrists?

[smackshosh]

my arms and forearms are decently proportioned but my wrists are so damn small. anything i can do for that?

[VolcomX311]

No, that's a bone thing. The only bones that can be perpetuated to grow by weight lifting is primarily within your axial skeleton. Heavy squats, heavy deads, heavy shrugs, anything that creates an enormous amount of stress down the center of your body, but it has to be enormous. The threshold of your bones to be stressed to the point of growth excitation is pretty high once you're an adult.

Under that principle, I imagined if you did Db wrists curls with 100lbs db you might be able to excite that process, but you would thrash your joints, so I don't recommend that.

Just work hard on your forearms and create the illusion of thickness.

P.S. I don't know your age, but if you're still young enough, then you might still have some extra bone coming in during the upcoming years. Otherwise, hit those forearms, both flexors and extensors (and I'll throw in brachioradialus)

I agree with VOLCOM,it is the bone thing,there is litlle you can do about it.And bones,tendons and ligaments develop much slower then muscles,thats why we hit somethimes in wall,not been able to progress in strength.Only reason why is this happening is that muscles must wait bones,ligaments and tendons,their process of development which is very slow.

That is one of the reasons of using steroids in strength sports,they can speed up this process.But how much i know there is one suplement which can infuence the same,it is cissus and super cissus,try with them.

There is also one way how you can build up muscles around wrist,and that way your's wrists will look bigger and be.Have you heard about fascial stretching?You must hit your wrist with one exercisse,like plate wrist curls,pump them with blood strong as you can,and after that you must stretch them,this is painfull but it works.First you stretch them easy 10sec,rest 5sec and stretch them 30sec so hard that you can't stand it.Stretching should be after every set.Fascial stretching is one of the important things in bodybuilding,but i dont know is it good for strength sports.

Serge Nubret had 7" wrists.

[Mulletsoldier]

Yeah, don't worry about it, it's not a big thing.

John is right, though. Huge arms + small wrists looks better.

[smackshosh]

I have small wrist, 6.75 at 5'8"(are those marks right?i always get confused which is which)I used to hate it but then learned it creates a better illusion.I read flex wheeler has small wrist and he was known for being able to stand next to someone 50lbs heavier,but look the same size.

[thesinner]

If it makes you feel better. My wrists are 6 1/4".

[smackshosh]

haha ok i feel much better. thanks am and ax guys

[ono]

Mine are 6 and a half inches.

Just gives me more motivation to build the rest of my arms to their potential really.

I am 6'4" and have 7" wrists, and have really small bones all over. Do any of you guys have joint pain bc your bones are small? Seems to me if I had larger knees, elbows and wrists, I could with stand more frequent heavy training...

I have pencil wrists as well. Arnold's wrists look really small to but it makes the forarms look that much bigger!

[jmh80]

People have complemented my arms saying my wrists really make them look bigger (both in real life and here on the interwebz).

I wouldn't worry about it.

[TheLittleGuy]
