Well, you've got a problem - there's not a damn thing you can do about your wrists. Live with 'em.

I lift 65 lb on either hand (130 total), yet my forearms are quite slender. There are guys who lift much less with bulkier forearms.

Maybe I can give you a transplant. My wrists bones are huge. Too big for women's watches or bracelets, which is extra weird since my hands are relatively small and my fingers are short. My theory is I don't have wrists, I just have hands directly attached to my arms. We're all different. Try not to be so self-conscious. We're both lucky our wrists work.

You can have a jeweler remove links from a watch or bracelet so that it fits you.

Personally, I like my husband's skinny wrists, it makes his hands and forearms look bigger by contrast.
I've seen fat people where being fat did make their wrists larger; however, I've also seen fat people where their wrists remained small. It all depends on each individual body.

Good grief.

As the owner of some seriously chunky wrists I spent my school life glancing at those with slim ones and being jelus.

Especially those wrists with the bone poking up. I don't even HAVE a bone!



At the age of 40 I found out about "ankles of beauty" - don't even start - fortunately my daughter has them but mine look like turnips from behind.

I don't have cankles but I don't have that visible tendon at the rear either.

I blame genetics. My ancestors were grubbing around in mines. Stocky was probably better.

Wear long-sleeved shirts. With today's technology, you can still stay cool with shirts like Columbia, etc.

I disagree, OP could probably get implants for this.

curls and curls,,, fore-arm curls, wrist curls,,



tie a string around small round pipe/dowel, and tie the other end to a 10-20lb weight - put your arms straight out and twist til you bring the weight up to your hands..


ive always had big arms/fore-arms-genetics, was maine armwrestling champ yrs ago in my weight class,,,had 19 inch biceps and 17 inch fore-arms

i had one of them tension bars/spring resistance bars.... i use to use that driving on the way to work and on the way home- it does help (if you cant find the time)

also the hand squeezers, they work great, -even take a tennis ball, and start squeezing that a couple hundred times on the way to work

and eat a lot of lean meat- you want muscle-eat muscle!

I've broken both my wrists in horse jumping accidents and the little bit of scar tissue has made them a bit larger. Not sure if breaking your wrists is a good solution though!

If you look at the autonomy of your wrist, there isn't really any muscle there, so I wouldn't know if muscle implant/augmentation would even be feasible. Unless, you want to implant fat? forearms is a diff story, but quite silly imo. Youre better off eating more and lifting harder in the area.

Ive got some small wrists (6") but they're strong and can handle some serious weight; that's all that matters to me.
