I totally clicked on this thread to say "play drums". Thanks, guys!

my forearms and wrists are very skinny, i've never felt sensitive about it in my life. how big is your penis?
― cutty, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:39 (sixteen years ago) link
my wrists are larger than my forearms at their narrowest point. i am perfectly fine with my penis.
― deeznuts, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:42 (sixteen years ago) link
im also tall so that might compound it
― deeznuts, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:43 (sixteen years ago) link
Your penis?

cutty disproves the drummer/forearm hypothesis.
― Jordan, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:52 (sixteen years ago) link

i do have a cam but no usb cord at the moment. theyre not superfreakish looking but the wristbone does visibly jut out from the forearm, surely someone else here has this or has seen this
― deeznuts, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:57 (sixteen years ago) link
^ I have this.
Also, I do play drums and furiously masturbate with both hands, so there goes that theory. The difference is, I don't care about my skinny forearms!

Forearm implants.

deeznuts has indie forearms.
― Jordan, Thursday, 20 March 2008 16:26 (sixteen years ago) link
type madly in internet forums for long enough, and your forearms will be huge
― dan m, Thursday, 20 March 2008 16:27 (sixteen years ago) link
Maybe he should get fat injections in his forearms, like they give to guys who want more penile girth.
― libcrypt, Thursday, 20 March 2008 16:28 (sixteen years ago) link
yuuuuuuuuuck.
i also have skinny arms and wrists. i also care but have never had the disclpine to stick to an exercise regimen for its own sake. i like the rock climbing recommendation though. i am quite scrambly.

Even when I was at my most chair-breakingly fat my wrists stayed bizarrely boney.
― nickalicious, Thursday, 20 March 2008 17:15 (sixteen years ago) link
You could do like I do and wear clothes with sleeves that are long enough to cover up your freakish wristbones.
This only really works in cold weather though. Good luck!

get a job landscaping/gardening. getting paid to dig and plant is way better than buying some lame gimmicky ball and squeezing a lot.
― Kerm, Thursday, 20 March 2008 17:30 (sixteen years ago) link
These are the most horrifying videos I've ever seen on youtube! Even more than the naked dancing mushroom guy!
― nickalicious, Thursday, 20 March 2008 17:33 (sixteen years ago) link
a couple of homemade rubber band balls have more resistance than any of the devices you can buy. Go to staples and buy a bag of rubber bands and make yourself a couple that are just a little smaller than a baseball. Crush them every day for hours while you listen to an old korean lady dodder on about her native language. I think a few other ilxors have seen my forearms.
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 20 March 2008 17:36 (sixteen years ago) link
Yep.
― Laurel, Thursday, 20 March 2008 17:41 (sixteen years ago) link
i had a jazz professor who swore by picking up a few newspaper pages and crumpling them up into a small ball using only one hand. it's harder than it sounds!

has anyone here ever broken an egg in the palm of their hand?
― deeznuts, Thursday, 20 March 2008 17:47 (sixteen years ago) link
I'd be afraid of cutting myself on eggshell, you have to squeeze pretty hard if yr applying pressure over the whole surface.
― Laurel, Thursday, 20 March 2008 17:49 (sixteen years ago) link
omg the powerball lollololwtf amzing !!!!
― jhøshea, Thursday, 20 March 2008 18:13 (sixteen years ago) link
ok I got to try out one of those powerball things today, a coworker brought it in. I think I'm going to get one. They aren't kidding about the torque, I don't even think I got it going very fast and I was getting some BURN in my extensors
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 01:48 (sixteen years ago) link
tennis is good too
― felicity, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 01:52 (sixteen years ago) link
If you break your forearm it swells up something fierce. That's one way to do it.

outdoor exercise is so 1999
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 01:56 (sixteen years ago) link
Maybe THAT'S why I hated 1999 so bad.

i think chaki needs to answer this question
carrying heavy packages, tensing below the elbow, over more than minor distances doesn't hurt, but that's 'bigger', not 'big'
― gabbneb, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 02:28 (sixteen years ago) link
Does chaks have forearms larger than the average ILXer?
― libcrypt, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 02:31 (sixteen years ago) link
dude, check WDYLL
― gabbneb, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 02:38 (sixteen years ago) link
Shit man dude LIFTS.
― libcrypt, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 02:44 (sixteen years ago) link
of course chaki has massive forearms, thats how hes capable of pushing away those who love him most
BYE

powerball update, after using it on both arms for about 20-30 minutes a day last week, I got those weird pins and needles/numbness in my hands during the past couple of days from new muscle growth pinching the nerves. I know the feeling because I've had it before when I had a full calisthenics regimen I did every other day
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 22:04 (sixteen years ago) link
o shit i still need to get one of those
― deeznuts, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 22:06 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm still borrowing the one my coworker brought in

i've never done it, but I see dudes in the gym using a weight plate attached to short wooden dowel with a couple of feet of rope. hold your arms out and rotate the dowel (parallel to ground) to raise and lower the weight.
― will, Thursday, 17 April 2008 13:32 (sixteen years ago) link
as suggested, I have made a rubber band ball and squeeze it while at work. not sure it's making any difference but it's either that or my coworkers neck.
breeeeeeathe
― Upt0eleven, Thursday, 17 April 2008 13:53 (sixteen years ago) link
Working in a commercial laundry for only two weeks actually made an impression on my forearms! Very tough work.
