is there any exercise to increase your wrist size ?
"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.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Your wrists aren't a muscle, so no I don't think you can make them bigger without some kind of surgery.
I see guys doing forearm exercises at the gym all the time, but I've heard simple compact exercises work out the forearm enough to where you don't even need to.
Some of the dudes with the biggest forearms don't work them out individually, but get size off other exercises that hit the forearms.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

You can do isolated forearm exercises or just do a lot of heavy reps of deadlifts or big sets of a clean and jerk. I'm not sure what else would help you bulk your forearms really.
More importantly - a question that actually makes sense - are there any knwon techniques for increasing wrist STRENGTH?? My wrists are quite weak and this affects my benchpress negatively, altering my grip and causing all sorts of difficulties. Anyone have a similar problem?

I've run into trouble when doing the things I mentioned above, but never with bench press. Do you use straps for deadlifts or anything else?dispatch said:

I used to use this http://www.wristbuilder.com/howto.htm picard, back in the day. I purchased and broke two of them, because I used it will watching TV etc. It did develop strength and circumference there, I think.
"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.

Picard,
I've done much research on this subject. I was born with puny forearms/wrists so I made it my mission to bring them and my calves up to speed. That's where you can tell a natural athlete just from looking at them, in the wrist size, calf muscles and shoulder width. They will still appear strong even if they've never lifted a day in their life.
My advice is, if you don't have that natural build, then go for the natural look. Cut down so there's not much bodyfat, you look bigger and stronger that way even if physically it's not there. Fingertip pushups are a way to quote on quote "gain" some natural hand strength. If you can do 50 fingertip pushups then your forearms are strong. I try to work my hands as much as possible in many different angles/ways. Shovel work, twisting newspapers, hanging by your fingers, etc. do this.
Deadlifts, wrist curls and other heavy bodybuilding exercises will give you some beef in the upper forearm if you really push it and it will definitely give you some added hand strength. However I failed to get the desired "natural look" from this path plus, due to a back injury, I abandoned spine compressing movements altogether, so I've experimented with a number of workouts.
Grippers never did anything for me, although I do wish I had some variable weight ones. They may do the trick.

When I do martial arts every Sunday, the guys make everyone aware of my "flexibility" and that it will take longer for me to tap out of a lock. I think it's due to all the wristbuilding I did in my late teens early 20s.

Hey,
I was just curious, with the exclusion of wrist rollers (my gym doesin't have them,) what are some good exercises for increasing wrist size? I'm not that big of a guy, I just got over my inital "do everything wrong" phase, so I want to make some informed choices. That, and lifting 40lbs dumbbells with 12" arms and 5" wrists looks ridiculous.
