Default Small hands / wrists? Myths/Facts?

I know it's genetics but is there anything I can do to re-inforce?

I was doing curls and it seemed to help, I'm not particularily looking to get BEEFY because I do play guitar and my hands are pretty good the way they are now, however I wouldn't mind some thicker wrists.

I'm still 17 so I've got 3-4 years of development? How can I make the most out of it? Thanks.

You can develop your forearm muscles but as far as developing your bone structure it's pretty much genetics.

Yeah do you think that developping forearm muscles would help with that at all?

I don't think it would make a noticeable difference, probaly just bigger forearms (nothing wrong with that, still great)

It will help slightly as both of the major muscles in the forearm extend down to the wrist as they help with wrist flexion and extention. Building these muscles, will primarily build bigger forearms, as that is where those muscles are most prominent, but you should see some improvement in wrist size, i certainly have.
Measure your wrists, workout very hard, eat even harder and measure them every 8 weeks or so. you wont see much of an increase, i think in 6 months mine are only 0.2" bigger, but something is better than nothing.

thats because at your wrist, most of sour 'muscles' have actually ended and it's just the tendons at that point crossing over the RC joint. your pretty much stuck with the forearms you have which means that's one less thing to worry about. lol
