Finger/bone size

[TheWildOne]

I've heard that testosterone can increase bone size. Any of you getting bigger finger/hands? My fingers are thin, I think because I was born prematurely and was a very small baby.

Is this fixable with HRT?

I've not experienced this with Test but with high levels of GH over a period of time I feel as if my fingers have grown in width, Had to buy a new wedding ring.

No test will not increase bone size. You are probably just a small frame guy. Nothing wrong with that.We all have genetic pros and cons. Lifting weights will increase the bone density however.

HGH may increase bone size but it will also increase the size of your internal organs and give you a wierd frankenstein brow at higher doses. Use it only under the supervision of a real MD. I think an endo would be best.

Once your platelets fuse after puberty - you CANNOT increase bone size. GH may make your hands/fingers seem larger - but it really is only water retention.

That's a myth.

I believe it causes cartilage to grow but not the actual bone. Deff increases water retention.

Are you sure about that? Take one look at Barry Bond's head. It is a couple sizes lager then it was in the early 90's.........

[IBdmfkr]

Have any studies? Keep in mind he also weighs a good 50lbs heavier as well.

water retention for sure. once i stoped taking hgh and test my fingers went to normal size. I found my old high school class ring... it wouldnt even fit over my pinky

According to the book "Game of Shadows", Bonds was also (supposedly) taking GH along with the "clear".

Sorry, but you have no clue what you are talking about.
1. First of all, platelets are cell fragments in the bloodstream, which help clot blood if the body loses a lot of blood. What you are referring to are growth plates. Two completely different things, except for the letters "p-l-a-t-e".
2. When growth plates fuse/close no further growth is possible ONLY in bone length (aka height). However, growth is still possible in width and density. So, yes, your hands and fingers will be larger (well, wider, not longer).
Admittedly, in order to grow bone/hands/etc. you would have to be getting into sizable doses, which might grow things other than bones (organs, etc.).

I wonder what kinda of dosages would cause this?

Not much research on this particular subject.. also why would they give AIDS patients such large dosages if this were the case?

There's only one particular bone size that I get an increase in when I take test, and I'd say prop is your best bet for that bad boy....

[juicehoe]

Because they are terminal. I dont think they are to worried about bone growth at this point in their life

I was more interested in studies rather than opinions.. but thanks.
