Question for guys with thin wrists?

Hey man! Don't worry about it! And I'll tell you why you shouldn't.

First, I have thin wrists. So I know where you're coming from.

When I first started lifting, I remember looking at my wrists thinking "Jeez, small, ugh."

About a month ago, I realized I haven't had to adjust my wristwatch since I started lifting back when. It just never even crossed my mind. So my wrists haven't grown. At first I was a little disappointed, but then i realized something: It doesn't matter. In fact, it's actually a good thing.

Your biceps are going to grow, also your forearms are going to grow as well. The fact that your wrists aren't getting muscular works in your favor, because it exaggerates the size of your forearms. The large to small ratio definitely makes you look more "ripped."

So, don't worry about it. It works in your favor.

What? Who cares. My wrists are pretty small (same size as my LTR's lmao) and it literally does not matter at all. There are at least 10 physical characteristics girls look at before wrists. This is may 1/100th of your SMV

I don't think wrists can ever get bigger, it's part of your bone structure and there's no muscle around.

I have thin wrists and dont care. You shouldnt either because nobody else cares.

Technically though you could thicken your wrist bones. Bones, like muscle, respond to stimuli. Bones have the ability to widen at high stress points. Make your wrists undergo high stress by intense double handed hypertrophic masturbation. You'll thank me later

Not much you can do. Search up athlean X, the dude is jacked af can bench 300 lbs but has tiny wrists. It's all about the total body size rather than one part tbh

Having thin wrists and forearms is more about genetics, muscle insertion points. As others have said wrist size won't change and that doesn't matter. Lift anyway

if your over like 21, your wrists are always gonna stay the same size. lifting wont change that, but it will help tho with making you look better overall.

Yeah I have small wrists too. I call them woman wrists and was pretty self conscious about them. But - what am I going to do? My genes are my genes. Some guys are big boned monsters. I am not and can never be that guy. Just the way it is.

Plus like another commenter said, it will exaggerate your arm muscles. Especially the forearms. I’m not even big and it exaggerates my forearms

Oof, if your wrists are thin I wouldn’t even step into the gym at all. Someone might laugh and you and that might hurt your feelings, which isn’t worth it.

You can still train your grip and forearm which will make the muscle on the bottom a little bit bigger.

The answer doesn't matter. Are you going to do anything differently if the answer is 2 weeks or 6 months?
