Wrist size may be mostly genetic?

[Hightwolf]

So i hear a lot of people say that physical labour makes your wrists bigger, but my dad did a lot (A LOT) of physical labour throughout his life and his wrists seem to be 7 inch ish (visual estimate).

He's 5'4 with 7 inch wrists and I'm 5'8 with 6 inch wrists. I could still grow though so I wouldn't be surprised if I reached 7 inches soon.
My brothers all seem to have equal sized wrists but slightly bigger than mine, even though they had varying levels of physical activity.

Thoughts?

A few of my friends started powerlifting at 15, all of them got bigger wrists imo, one guys became huge, like 99th+ percentile.

A lot of it depends on how long your forearms are. Africans have thinner wrists because they have longer forearms on average.


7 inch wrists aren't small for modern men.

My dad is 5'7 with 8 inch wrists, while I have 6'8 wrists with 5'8.

7" is above average

Wrist size is almost entirely genetic, just like height or penis size or the size of your skull. There are some muscles that go through the wrist but they can only grow so much. Just take a look at bodybuilders, or olympic weightlifting, their wrists do not grow because there is just not much muscle there. Its like getting a bigger foot, I suppose technically the muscles in your foot can get bigger but it doesn't add much mass and your foot size doesn't change. Your bones do not change structure because of physical labor, as a growing kid or as an adult. They may be more dense and the individual bones may grow slightly, but thats it

We have long forearms in general.
But the point was that he did a lot of physical labour, like all throughout the day basically since childhood (8 to 12) until his late twenties. So surely he should've had bigger wrists.

head size is related to genetic and environmental HGH levels, penis size is androgens/HGH in youth, height and wrist size is both

they both change structure and become more dense

The response of genital and gonadal growth during the first year of treatment with human growth hormone (hGH) was studied in 20 boys with isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) (11 of hereditary origin and 9 sporadic cases). Prior to hGH treatment, 13 of the 15 prepubertal boys had a penis...

Nutrition (specially whether u were malnourished or not) as a huge impact on wrist size.
