I'm a tall and skinny guy about 5'10'' 130lbs and I have these really thin wrists and lower arms. Any advice on how I could bulk these up?
Thanks.
Thanks.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Actually my wrists are still fairly thin too, even though my arms are bulked up. There isn't too much you can do for bone density other than lifting, which loads the bone and increases bone density.
Bone is an interesting material. It has the ability to adapt to the stresses applied to it. Even so, I only get secondary loading to the bone when I do curls, so don't expect miracle gains!

I would worry about building up your entire body first. 130lbs is pretty light for your height. Follow Sergent Diesel's guide to bulking. Agree with Ricky, it's hard to thicken the wrist.

Yeah, bulking up should be the first of your worries. Then, when you want to bulk up your forearms and (try to bulk your) wrists, you should try this two things:
Hammer Curls:
Either with a specialized barbell or dumbells, curl your arms like you would with a normal curl, except keep your palms facing each other throughout the movement.
Wrist Curls:
Sit down, and rest your forearms on your legs. Your hands and wrists should be hanging down just in front of your knees. Now, with weight in hand, curl your wrists towards the ceiling. Try this with both your palm facing upward and with your palm facing downward.
The wrist, though there are many muscles there, doesn't bulk up easily (or at all in most cases). So don't stress if you can't make them bigger.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

So you want to bulk up your wrists?
Sorry, but you'll have to change your bone structure to get bigger wrists!

I used to hate my tiny wrists too, but now i realise that they will actually work in my favour, and so will you if you put on some muscle (which i recomend at 130 lbs btw). You see, the smaller your bones and joints, the bigger your muslces look.
I hadn't seen one of my friends for the better part of a year when he was in his final year of uni (super busy). After he graduated we got together to hang out (in the mean time i'd gone from 120 to 150 lbs), one of the main things he noticed was different was the size of my forearms (from those delightful deadlifts) compared to my (still tiny) wrists.
So start eating and start lifting and you will stop worrying about them i assure you.

if you want bigger FOREARMS try:
rock/wall climbing
squeezing tennis balls till your hands are blue (just kidding)
