Thread: Correlation between wrist size and muscle potential?

It works with dogs and paw size If you have weak wrists then it will limit your ability to lift heavy unless you can work around it.

No, it doesn't mean you can't get big. My wrists are fairly skinny but I have gained mass/strength and continue to. I don't think wrist size has much to do with wrist strength; it is skeletal structure. I don't know how much skeletal structure has to do with your genetic's anabolic potential. I am not an expert an either of those though. I think people may confuse wrist strength with grip/forearm strength(maybe). You say you haven't gained much mass. You also say you have been training "on and off". Have you tried a consistant training regimen(a good one at that) and diet? I think you if dedicate yourself you will be able to gain the mass you want over a period of time.

If you have 6.5 inch wrists then dont compair your arm with a guy who has a 7.5-8 inch wrist....dosent mean you cand get big, it just means you have a smaller bone structure

I think the length of your muscle bellies and other genetic factors have more to do with it than wrist size, but it might mean something.

Sergio "The Myth" Oliva had small wrists and I think he did OK.
The advantage to having a smalll wrist is that it gives you the illusion of making your muscles look bigger....no?
