Thin Wrists.

RasPlasch · 12-27-2008, 05:34 PM

Are thin skinny wrists determined by genetics? Cause I am bigger and stronger than 95% of my friends I woulds say, yet they all have bigger wrists then me. People have often told me that my wrists and hands are like a girls.

I have small wrists, too. I think they're a good way to gauge your 'frame' size. I've found that wrist size correlates rather well with overall size. I think there are websites out there that calculate your 'ideal' body measurements based on wrist size as one of the input factors.

Sucks though, because they look weak and there's really no beefing them up, haha.

Genetics, nothing you can do.

RasPlasch · 12-27-2008, 09:32 PM

Ultra lame.

Lol. You are funny.

I have skinny wrists too. However, they can make your fore/upper arms look bigger because of the proportions.

Skib · 12-28-2008, 06:49 AM

i also have fairly skinny wrists and ankles but i don't mind... my arms still look good and are probably one of my best features...

are your joints small too, i.e. elbows & knees? if so, that is a blessing for a bodybuilder, it creates the illusion of bigger muscles.

danzik17 · 12-28-2008, 12:17 PM

I've heard that if you can fit your thumb and forefinger around your wrist, it's a sign of being gay. Sorry to break it to you

You are right actually. Cause I do have smalls elbows and knees. My friends nickname for me is godzilla arms, lol. It must be because of my small elbows.

Nate K · 12-28-2008, 09:14 PM

Your pointer finger. I can, barely... if I squeeze.

I think you mean your forearms aren't strong.

Beat me to it.
I think it was Sergio Olivia who had small wrists helping him look even bigger than he already was.

Quote:

Sergio Olivia

Sergio was a bodybuilder who was 20 years ahead of his time in terms of sheer muscularity and dominance in many poses. Even today, few bodybuilders can execute the perfect hands over head forearms pose which was his pose of victory. His arms, back and legs could all hold up well to bodybuilders who competed far after he had retired from the bodybuilding scene. Sergio had small joints, a trim waist and large muscles, all of which put him ahead of the competition and in a league of his own for many of his victories.

so what is your concern with your wrists being small then? it should not really affect anything.

Stewart14 · 12-29-2008, 10:58 AM

wow, you guys can touch your pointer finger to your thumb around your wrist? I thought I had small wrists and I have over and inch and a half at least between those fingers. Maybe I just have stubby fingers

No concern really. Like I said in my first post, it just looks girly, and I have gotten comments from a lot of people that they look girly.
