How much do wrists grow from weight lifting?

[.*my*.]

Yes I know that they are just bones, but there are many tendons and muscles surrounding the wrist:

So let’s say a twig starts lifting at 140 pounds. 10-15 years later, with some roids he got up to 240 pounds. Now I don’t believe that his wrists are going to stay the same exact size. They certainly grow.

How much is the question. An inch? Half an inch? Two inches?

Heaviest squat I ever did was 1.5 my BW for 3 reps
Heaviest deadlift around 1.75 times my BW for 3 reps

Not a millimeter of difference in my wrists, but maybe if you go heavier it could improve idk

Have you measured your wrists before you started lifting? And were you fat before? Was your body fat percentage the same?

Have not measured, but with the eye no diff whatsoever

I was 15%bf back then, I am prolly 25% now

You can’t measure with your eyes.

Went from 140 to 170 lbs. Wrists stayed the same.
I recently incorporated dedicated forearm training.
You can hide small wrists with a watch or accesories, but it's important to grow your forearms, can't hide those.

Brutal wrist pill

If you cant see it with your eyes what do you care?

So you can go to your autist friends and say your wrists grew 2mm?

2 mm is good too. Some growth is better than no growth.

I am pretty sure it goes up with bodyfat, I lost sone weight and I think my wrists became smaller. Not sure about weight lifting, I would expect atleast some gains there tbh

I ask you again

If you don't see it with bare eye what is the point??

To say on dot me that your wrists grew?

If you add 1 mm of bones to your face is that going to make you more attractive or less attractive?

If you add 2 mm to your wrists is that going to make you look better or worse?

Yes the difference may not be visible, but subconsciously we all notice those small differences.

Wrist.

Of all the things to looksmax, you're looking at your wrist.

What is this, so you can masturbate better?

Well you can hit harder with thicker wrists, that’s why boxers have them. You also generally look stronger and more powerful.

Wrists matter in boxing and how much muscle mass you can actually gain. They are not a meme.

If you have big arms the female's instinct is not gonna be like; 'oh wait, his wrists are skinny'

Yes that’s true but subconsciously and biologically, instinctively, if you will, these things don’t go unnoticed.

Do you have a face? That's the Q.

I have big hands and wrists tbf and my forearms are sick. Probably my best body trait, alone with my chest and shoulders. So may be I'm not understanding the concern all of you guys have.

What I do know is enough muscle pressure applied to bone, encourages that bone to move and/or grow. Hence people can increase their frame when training delts ACCORDINGLY and CONSISTENTLY.

 

[Deleted member 6908]

Lmao.

So you're 6'3 and Chad-lite and being a beta fucking cuck about your wrist.

Wear a watch on both sides ffs.

Yes but these are quite large wrists. I would say 7.5-8”

Any special gym tips you wanna share for shoulders?
Im mostly focusing on getting a stronger OHP and then isolating with some lateral raises and facepulls. That should be fine right?

Inject HGH for wrist growth.

How long have you been lifting? And have you measured your wrists before and after?

 

[6’1cel]

I went from 125 to 190. Wrist grew half an inch. I was 18 when I started lifting weights. 20 now.

your bones probably just got bigger since you were only 18

 

[Mouthbreath]

been lifting for 2 years

first measured my wrists half a year after the beginning

since then zero wrist circumference growth, not even a millimeter

I have gained close to 30kg and quadrupled my strength in that time

 

[TITUS]

Lol no thanks.

Too high inhib. Do you want bigger wrists or not? There are 12 year old kids with more balls than you it seems.

Strange. Mine grew a little.

Yes it’d be preferable, but it’s not like HGH doesn’t have side effects.

maybe they did in the first 6 months when I didnt measure

absolutely agree. Forearms are so overlooked

 

[Deleted member 6573]

You can't grow bone you dumb fuck

 

[Schizoidcel]

I think mine didn't grow visibly tbh, actually my bigger forearms make my wrists look even tinier.

 

[.*my*.]

You can't grow bone you dumb fuck

You can grow whatever is attached to the bones. Thanks for being polite by the way.

 

[Deleted member 6908]

You can. Muscle presses against bone and encourages growth. Read into it. That's how I improved my frame in my teens and early 20s.

Shoulder raises. Front and lat raises. They're underestimated by the average/casual gym goer. Keep tension throughout. Remember to always squeeze. Breathe in and out through nose only. If it's harder that just means you're not strong and/or fit enough. Reduce the weight. Don't neglect form to look tough. Stretch out your shoulders on days you're not working them. Do high reps. 30 max, 25 minimum. When you are just training for strength gains and not muscle, while doing over-head press using barbell, don't focus on the squeeze and rather exploding and pressing the weight. Form is less important, though still important when training strength. Just explode instead. Make sure you build good strength, before trying to squeeze and sculpt muscle.

Got it! However i heard strength and muscle size cant be seperated on the compound movements like the OHP, do you think thats true?
