    how many of u think bone structure can determine ur max size?

    ive read this in a couple places and get pretty unmotivated by it. one thing i read was ur upper arm size can only reach about 10 inches above ur wrist size. i myself have a rather small bone structure genetically and if thats true im basically almost done growing and im only 20. my wrist is about 7 inches and my upper arms are about 16.5. im about 6' 190 and would hope to get bigger but after these types of things it puts a damper on everything. what do u guys think about the size of peoples bone structures limiting there overall size????????

    i don't believe that crap. there is probably some correlation between wrist size and arm size, but have you seen the pro bodybuilders?

    I believe that bone structure along with genetics can play a key role in muscle size. For example, someone with a wider frame can pack on more muscle than someone with a smaller frame. However, I disagree with the statement that your upper arms can only get to be 10" bigger than the size of your wrist. Even if you cannot get your arms bigger naturallly, it's called JUICE-and it works. You can change the way you look in ALMOST every aspect.

    Just my 2 cents,

    One thing I want to bring up is that I also have a VERY small bone structure, and even though we have small bone structures, we can still be/look huge, when your wrist is tiny and you have huge forearms and biceps etc..you still are "big". dont worry about the "Size" in comparison to big boned guys. IMO

    Don't get caught up with size measurements, since bone structure/size does play a role there. Anybody can make gains tho. I have never heard of anybody's arm being larger than 23'' flexed, so 10'' inches above most ppl's waist size is somewhere between world class and impossible. :-P

    i don't buy into that crap either... and if it was true it wld probably pertain to being without the aid of gear... add gear to the equation and it's a whole new ballgame...

    Wrist size has nothing to do with arm size at all.! I have a 7 inch wrist and 21 inch arms , and have yet to do a whole cycle of juice. It's all about eating and lifting heavy like a savage ape loose from the african jungle.

    Plus GH and (r3)IGF-1 alter your genetics which creates brand new muscle cells via cell division. Now that's some cool stuff.

    No I don't think that they really do.. I think that genetics plays a part, but with gear, working out ect you can change that. n What do you think?? Whith out the gear and working out then the genetics good be right..

    I agree with C, Also this conversation is funny to me as someone with a naturally big frame, I always saw it as a mixed blessing, sad because it was always harder to attain "the look" that everyone likes, but I have always been ahead on strength without much effort. I guess the grass is always greener on the otherside!

    There are 1,000's of factors that play a role into how much mass someone can acheive. We are now finding out just how complicated one single cell in the body is. I'm not sure if natural bone thickness and density can be a gauge to all these factors but I would guess they are not.

    Although its many times not considered your Heart, Lungs, Kidneys, Liver, ect.,ect., also play a very large role and everyone's work different
