Can i get bigger than someone who has bigger wrists/ankles than me?

[ctchristopher666]

hey im new to bodybuilding, have been making amazing gains, i never thought i could of done it myself.
and i was just wondering is it possible for someone through bodybuilding to get just as big or bigger than someone who has thicker wrists and ankles? like could a person with 7 inch wrists get bigger than a guy with 8 inch wrists?
Seems like ronnie coleman has some pretty average wrists and hes massive but i want to be sure.
Thanks in advance!!

Given that both maximise their potential with drug abuse (if there is one) i would guess that some one with bigger wrist will get bigger, but to maximise the body's potential is not easy, if you theoretical did everything right i would guess that you could get bigger than you feel the need to if you dont focus on a long healthy life, but i would not recommend it.

This whole wrist and ankle thing had been bought up before
I don't think its a good indicator on ones natural abilities
And then to compare your wrists to that of a ifbb pro seems ridiculous

Chances r your wrists and ankles will not grow "thicker" maybe the slighest, u have little muscle connecting each body part its genetics mainly. IMO the only way u may significantly change the thickness of theses joint areas is with massive amounts of HGH, or if u get fat as **** lol.

That isn't what he asked.
Wrist and ankle measurements are a good indicator of natural potential and carrying capacity.

Don't worry bout it just train lol. Plus small wrists make forearms look bigger

What Bonaparte said. I have small wrists/joints as well and to me it's a benefit. Once somewhat developed it gives the illusion of being even larger. More aesthetic and symetrical if development is balanced, IMHO.

As usual, right on the money-short, sweet, and to the point.

Me...I've got thin everything. It's life. Just go with it. If I compare myself with others, I'd quit, sit in the corner, and eat cheetos all day. But, I'm 51 and don't care anymore.

My bad, I never read the whole OP, guess I don't multitask well.
