Yes they absolutely cap you. Don't bother if your only motivation is girls. I have 6.5 inches, I lifted naturally for around 3 years with so much dedication that sometimes, my hands would quiver to the point where couldn't even hold onto dinner plates without dropping them onto the floor, just to look like someone who does push-ups and takes leisurely jogs along the sidewalk three times a week. If your genes are even worse than mine, you have absolutely no hope of looking like someone who lifts.

My own saving graces are decent muscle insertions and high drug tolerance. If you don't even have those, not even injecting will save you, sorry.

When is it worth it? 7 inches? 8?

I'd say if your wrists are 7+ inches, you don't have awful insertions, and your test levels are above 600 ng/dL, you stand a decent chance as a natural with enough time (2+ years) dedicated to good training and diet. Or you can inject and achieve the same thing in 6 months after spending the bare minimum of time learning the basics so you don't just waste money on drugs and needles.

I dont think your wrist are the problem.Its probably your bad diet or your low testosterone.How long have you been lifting for?

 

[KingOfRome]

6 inch wrists are sub 1st percentile poverty tier wrists. They are absolutely the main obstacle between him and the kind of body people spend time in the gym to attain. Low testosterone can't even compare, even if it's clinically low.

wrist measruing is cringe cope. no wrists for ur face tc

 

[Corperal]

It's just an excuse, stop being a lazy ass and hit the gym.

Even if you had the world worst genetics possible, hitting the gym and looking a bit better and becoming healthier is better than doing nothing.

''Muh wrists'' smaller wrists also gives an illusion that your arms are bigger then they really are.

what if average wrist size but 99.99th percentile ankle size?
i always had really narrow arm and wrist compared to the rest of my body.
It's 17,8cm-18cm maximum with some measurements done now

Only if you're on boatloads of gear and have decent insertions.

Well, almost all natty people that are low body fat look small in a shirt. That's just how it is.

Small wrist + muscle mass + tight shirt will give you the illusion of bigger arms.

But yeah if you really wanna look like you lift and be lean anabolic chicken is the solution.

You’re the most retarded poster on this forum. Wrists mean fuck all. You can’t gain muscle because you’re low t probably on fin/Accutane/ some other tranny drug.

Bro I have top tier frame but my wrists are skinny, why is that?

You won't get that illusion without roids because you cannot build muscle disproportionate to your frame naturally. Small muscles are attached to small bones.

If you want to argue with Dr. Casey Butt and basically anyone with a brain about how the size of your literal frame to which your muscles are attached has nothing to do with the size of those muscles, be my guest.

You can have wide frame and thin wrists dumbass

 

[Loubar]

I have skinny ass wrists, I don't know the measurements, but I have nice physique. Just lift hard and heavy and you will grow. Being naturally skinny as a lifter is an advantage, you can stay lean with a 6 pack year round.

I don’t lift and I get asked if I do every time I meet someone; my shoulders are really wide

But my wrists are skinny in comparison to my shoulders.

oh my god suifuel

 

[KingOfRome]

Frame thickness matters a lot more than frame width for muscle size because muscles are attached to individual bones by tendons.

I don’t lift and I get asked if I do every time I meet someone; my shoulders are really wide

But my wrists are skinny in comparison to my shoulders.

I didn't say it was horrible, just not top tier. A top tier frame is both wide and thick.

it just feels like a contradiction because i build muscle super easy and an naturally strong but my wrists are like average mans wrists.

Do you think I could have stunted it somehow or something

How long have you been lifting?

i don’t lift at the moment mate, but i did when i was 15 and my bench went from 55 kg( starting) to 70 kg in like 2 months lol (natural ofc, and my diet wasn’t the best).

i have 6.7 inches and naturally lifted for 4 years, one of the first things that a newly met person would notice on me is that im lifting

they make my upper arm look even bigger. maybe your bideltold and ribcage are too narrow or you didnt eat properly

All rank novices gain strength and muscle quickly when they start lifting. It's completely normal and doesn't last forever.

Bideltoid and ribcage don't affect arm size. Your wrist size is also barely below average, and it doesn't make your upper arm look proportionately bigger, you're just being compared to non-lifters of roughly similar genetic quality, that is, about average, I'd guess.

Extremely loose tape measure, properly measured they're probably 7.25" max.

This is ridiculously important if you have bitch wrists or just a wimpy frame in general. I also have fairly slender wrists(17cm) But I can barely fit a finger between my bicep and forearm when flexed like this:

I also have fairly long muscle bellies in my forearms and triceps and I'm pretty sure that's why my arms are my strongest point. If you have insertions like the one on the left though, you're gonna have to roid, and even then it will look kinda weird compared to a "naturally" big arm.

It may have been somewhat lose but not extremely loose.

18.6 cm, still good.

Muscle belly length is absolutely important and one of the big three factors that decide how muscular you could possibly be, along with frame thickness and hormonal profile (hormones being a distant third that obviously can be fixed by injecting -- and only injecting, despite what the egg-chugging HFLC zealots say). I have a 2-finger or average bicep tendon, and also naturally low testosterone (around 400 ng/dL), so my arms could only look even remotely big with a pump, and that's after about three years of serious lifting. The "Brad Pitt Fight Club" body was pretty much my natural limit. (Brad Pitt is another ectomorph.)
