small wrists

[sikboy]

I recently hurt my wrist, but i cant remember how.

Must be from wanking 10x a day or something.

Forearms are a chaser muscle, they grow as you grow.

[LatinoMusculito]

Working out forearms is soo pointless. You're just spinning your wheels man. They develope naturally as your dead lift and other grip excercises increase in strength. Working forearms to me is like doing fingers curls. Time could be better spent picking up other areas.

Not true.

I bust out a few sets of wrist curls and my forearms get pumped... they become twice as big and feeling like they are bleeding. It is a great feeling and my forearms NEVER get this pumped, no matter from what exercises. The pain is almost unbearable but doing wrist curls with a BB is def not spinning your wheels. It is a helluva pump!

[LatinoMusculito]

so does the small boned people loose muscle easily?

i don't know about that.

but if you lose muslce fast, you will find that you put it back on just as fast. It's all a perfect balance. If you work your ass off to achieve a certain size, and lose is quickly, you musnt worry. That work will have paid off forever man, so thanks to muscle memory the muscle flies back on, because you have paid your dues.

I'm talking like in one or two workouts and your back to the same size. That is ofcourse you take a lengthy hiatus then it might take you a good 4-12 weeks to get it all back.

I think this whole wrist discussion is a kind of pointless since the best bodybuilder ever has very big wrists, so that shows us that wrist size doesn't matter that much regarding a muscular look...

Knowing your post history you must be refering to Ronnie, while I wouldn't say his wrists are small, they aren't large either for a top bber. Ronnie prolly had average or even slightly small joints for a pro bber, before the hgh at least...

Hey people, I would like to know something. I have been very skinny during growth spurt (173cm at 42-47kg) (and I grew a lot, lot more than my peers). I read one study on rats that less protein decreases width of bone growth plate while length of bones is not stunted in growth. Is this a reason for small wrists? We didn't eat enough protein during growth spurt?

How much of you have been skinny and ate little protein during fast growth spurts? Did we stunt our wrist growth? I mean, I should be meso by the look of my body, just there is that bigger bones missing, like 7.5inch to 8 inch wrists. Basically I don't have shape of ecto, my body is narrow because of small bones, but I have somewhat wide hips.

And by the way, another friend who has been eating very high protein diet has very thick wrists now, especially during growth spurt he drank a lot of milk. We are similar because we both have deep voice and very hairy body.

Thats fine.. i mean if you want big forarms go for it. I think its more pleasing to see the arms taper down into a point. Big forarms look like tumors or somethig. It's just distracting for me so i never train them.

LOL...this guy probably has no calves either...

Bumping a 6 year old thread huh? Gjdm.

All you need to worry about is now and what you can do for the future, not what may or may not have been.

Read this thread and get some info.

I have small joints, especially wrists, when I was skinny (150ish) skinny wrists and forearms looked crap... Now that I'm bigger, it looks awesome and it's one thing I get complimented on and especially from the ladies too

Train hard and eat well and get your sleep in, feel blessed that you have small joints son

[Huss!]

i don't know about that.

Good shout, that should expell some soft comments in this 6 year old thread

[NVious]

Small joints suck when you're starting out (especially for me cuz I had really long limbs as well), but once you start to fill out you look extremely aesthetic.

complete bullshiit, the forearm is just like any other muscle, isolation exercises if done correctly will make them grow.

The whole small wrist=small forearm thing is actually true. People with bigger wrists have their forearm muscles connect to the bone way closer the hand.

[KingSanom]

7 inch wrists here. FEELSBADMAN :*(

Grab two heavy ass dumbbells and walk 30 feet and back while holding them shrugged. great for grip and traps.

No.

Mine measure 6 and 3/4 inches. My forearm muscle (digitorum?) attaches and starts to pop out anout half way down. And my forearms look in side chest pose.

[handyman89]

know that feel! but it actually makes my Forearms look burly and ive never had strength problems ever

Seriously...forearms and calves used to mean A LOT in the golden era...I guess people like JuicyCop2 must have taken over the judging...it's half the damn limb for christ's sake!

Exactly

[tonyt82]

I agree ! Having a healthy size calf with tiiiiny ankles makes the calf look alot bigger/better.
