Title: hand size related to GH usage
Post by: Alex23 on August 05, 2005, 04:53:20 PM
Has anybody noticed how huge some pros hands are ? I've met many pros over the years and every time it just blow me away how dispropotionally large their hands are, not all but most of the time. Jay Cutler comes in mind. He's 5'9" and his hands are like a banana grapes !!!

I hate to do that, but who thinks this is related to GH ?

Unless someone has 'shopped that Gunther photo, the height of his hand plus thumb is roughly the height of his head; compare that with your own hand and head. His hands are disproportionally large, Jay has the same 'defect'.

Not so sure I am; would any Pro's care to share their wrist sizes with us, then we can compare with normal.

The average wrist size for a male is right at 7"; my theory is that most Pro's are going to be larger than 7" and that hardly any will be smaller.  (possible exceptions for those of very short stature, under 5'6")

Thats not really true. Robby Robinson had small bones. Arnold was not big boned. Its the guys who can pack muscle onto the smaller bone structure who are impressive. Too big of bones and you start looking like a powerlifter.

Its true hands and feet grow while on GH. Most people complain of swollen feeling in there hands and growing out of their shoes. Also teeth grow on a lot of users. There have been some people who have even had wisdom teeth start to regrow after they had them removed years ago.

Its a very strange hormone, and can be dangerous.

As for pulumbo's big feet, i don't think that could possibly be from fake GH  ;D

years of lifting will make your hands grow.  Same thing with any job that is reliant on hand strength.  I know the older guys at the shop that have been turning wrenches for 15+ years all have humongous hands in proportion to normal people, with sausage finvers.  Thumbnails bigger around than quarters. 

all bones grow in response to the stresses they recieve.  takes 7 years for a bone to completely regenerate itself 100%.  The newer bone mass is thicker and stronger if the stresses demand it.

ever see a hockey players ankles and shins?  Friggin huge.

Something that didn't shrink earlier in the year when Gunter slimmed down for his acting work were his hands.  It's honestly probably the only sign Gunter shows from his GH use - no distention, no GH gut, and no facial changes.

  Actually, BayGBM is correct:most pros have small to average frames. A large frame is an asset in powerlifting, but a liability in bodybuilding-hich explains why Greg Kovacs is not Mr.O.

I wouldn't say that they have small or average frames but rather small or average joints. That has its advantages since it will give muscles like forearms and calves appear larger. Just as having broad shoulders gives the appearance of a smaller asthetic waist and taper.

  Yes, but no matter how small your joints are, if the diameter of your bones is too much, your muscles will appear small. You'll have much larger muscles overrall-like Greg Kovacs-, but your frame will "overpower" your muscularity.

I get what you're saying about bone diameter. When you mentioned small to average "frame" in your previous post I instantly thought narrow shoulders.  And I don't know what happened to Kovacs but he looked decent at one point.

  He got too big. That's what happened. He actually stepped onstage at 400 lbs, at some Canadian contest and has weighted as much as 440 lbs, on the off-season. His size is freakish even by powerlifting standards.

there is a national level bber who works out at my gym sometimes.  the second time i talked to him, i realized how abnormally large his hands were, esp. for his frame.  he's about 5'11 and his hands look those halloween frankenstein hands that you would get at a halloween store.  he's been using gh for about 10 years.
