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

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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.

"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.

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.
“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

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.

"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.
