Blackdog Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Remember though that Josh and Tommy have closed a #4. I know that Josh has a smaller wrist than I do. I assume Tommy does too. Not sure about Joe Kinney, but judging by the picture of his thumb in the book...it's probably not very small from all the manual labor he did. Ben, You mentioned Joe Kinney wrist may not be small do the manual labor he did. My understanding, and guys correct me if I wrong, is that you can change your wrist size. No muscles there. Wrist size is connected to bone size. Anyone want to weigh in here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darnit, I did it again.... I meant you can't change your wrist size. I will spell check my reply in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Darnit, I did it again.... I meant you can't change your wrist size. I will spell check my reply in the future. My wrist size has changed over the years. Adding significant amounts of weight in general will definitely increase the wrist size a little. In my case I was 150lbs in 2000. Wrist was 7" TOPS at that time. I got differing measurements on both wrists. The left wrist was 6 and 13/16". My right was about 6 and 7/8". Since it's very hard to get fat wrists, I attribute it to weight gain and grip training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancake Sprawl Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 can't you also increase the size by doing a lot of work that works your tendons? like extensor work and stuff, wouldn't that thicken the tendons which would in turn thicken your wrist a little?

big nasty Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I know for sure my wrist has grow in the last 5 year's I don't have a before measurement but between the gripper's, armwrestling, bending and powerlifting there larger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timiacobucci Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 7 1/4" I know it doesn't really affect strength but I can't help but wonder about durability. Load distribution and all that for levering and bending. I have been hitting the hammer levers allot lately and my wrists will get really unhappy sometimes, having huge 8" + wrists could only help with this I would imagine. I wonder where Slim falls here?
