Can you grow your wrist size?

The skinny wrists are very frustrating and, the curious thing is people with decent and above average muscle gains after years of training get utterly upset by having those skinny wrists which is believed to be purely genetic and cannot be developed with training. My take on the subject is a bit different from popular perception. I have had the privilege of a skinny frame and have embarked on the journey of increasing my wrist size from 5.9 inches to 6.3 inches within a span of two years. I have diligently and regularly followed the following things- * Include a heavy compound movement in each day of your training. * Get in the habit of re racking heavy weights by lifting, not rolling. * Train forearms 3x a week, not more. * Use free weights instead of machines. * Do not use straps or gym gloves. * Hang daily for about 30 seconds. * Improve your pull-ups.

So, if you are someone who is not into professional bodybuilding and just have an goal of maintaining good health and fitness, then, surely you can have anything after a workout, anything doesn't mean junk foods like chips, et cetera. But, however if you have a fast metabolism, you can have these things as well, though not strictly recommended. For, best results pertaining to your muscle growth you should have glucose and any source of protein. If consuming whey powder, make sure to have it in water instead of milk for faster absorption. Fructose from fruits is a good source of glucose, so you can have any fruit juice like oranges as per your desired preference and taste. Chocolate is also ...
