im only 16 and still have few yrs to grow, but sheesh my wrist are small as hell,there about 5.2 inches in circumference and this is bad cause it makes my forearms look smaller even tho tey are small.
would lots of grip training make my forearms or wrist appear bigger?

time for you to buy some coc grippers

your forearms will get bigger.......thus making your wrists look smaller.

I am going for my coc#3 and i train everyday. the biggest increase in mass is in the forearm.......when you are typing it would be the inside forearm (if that makes sence) this is the only area that has grown using cocs.

there is so much to grip training its not funny.

start with hammer leavering and plate curls...they will build your wrists more than a COC ever will

The muscles that clench your grip are on the inside, as endpoint pointed out. Wrist movement, on the other hand, is caused by the wrist flexor and extensors. Those go around the entire circumference of your wrist. You're likely to gain a lot more size working those than working your grip, although having a crazy grip is important for other reasons.

Demn, I thought that was Paul Anderson aka The mightyest minister... Anyway, Give me 1/4 inch on my wrists and I will be happy! Curls it is, and I'm gonna try to stop using straps for most of my deadlift work.

could someone give me a description of hammer leavering and plate curls?

 

[skaman607]

A hammer lever is when you take a sledge hammer in one hand, ( as far down as you can hold it in a controlled fashion) and sort of move your wrist up and down, or sort of swing the hammer like you were going to hit something, if that makes sense.

hmmm, i have dumbells where u can add or take off plates,would it work if i put maybe 5-10 lbs on one side and kept the other side empty so i can hold onto it,and then perform this wrist movment.
wat do u guys think of this?

By the way, how long does it typically take for and ironmind order to come in?
