Title: FRAME SIZE!
Post by: alexxx on May 24, 2006, 02:25:27 PM
I wanna know if any of you have been able to enlarge your frames? Bone structure.

DoggCrapp was supposed to write an article on that but since he is such a lazy guy I bet he hasn't yet. Don't know for sure because those fat asses at intensemuscle.com banned me.

Any of you have articles or more information on that particularly about shoulder width. Thank you.

Only compound HEAVY back movements will increase your width

Sounds like an urban myth.  Maybe you could come up with some magic trick to increase your skeletal width during adolescence but it's definitely not possible after!  When your bones have stopped growing, they've stopped growing.

Some people say breathing squats and pullovers will expand your ribcage.  Maybe if you do them when you're a teenager.  But after that I really doubt it!

If you keep hitting yourself (real hard) in the area you want bone growth, that may help..........
Especially works in the face region.

once the growth plates have fused, you can't get them to grow.  The only way is to break the bone, let them start to heal and continuslystretch them out using pins and metal rods.  This has been used for short people to lengthen the legs so that they can achieve a more normal hieght

The bigger your bones, the worse you will look, unless you like how Mendelson is built.

What if he had his shoudler bones widened an strengthened with adumantium steel rods, surely this would work?

Alexx, since your so tall, and your limbs are so long, I dont know man.. Your lancky. Is there a way we can compress you?  ;D  Your already tipping the scales at 250 right? And lean too..  Ronnie coleman should be getting nervous- so another 30 lbs, at 280 you should dwarf us all!  :D

lol..your right buddy, i have the ideal structure/frame for bodybuilding. 5;8"
You, well, I guess you would own me on a basketball court. Not that its bad, I always wish I was at least 6 feet tall when playing basketball.  ;D  I would camp behind the 3 point line.  ;)

IM telling ya, your only shot at becoming a monster is 12 weeks, test and deca.  :-\

Try the "Reeves Deadlift", and Ultra-Wide grip chins.  Originated by Steeve Reeves - probably the most square shouldered man in the world.

The Reeve's dead is where you grip the plates instead of the bar so your arms are spread way the hell apart, and do deads like that.  Supposedly it's a clavicle stretcher, but clavicles are bones which don't stretch, sooo...  I guess maybe you could stretch the attachements or something..?

I Read about it in Muscle Mag.  Hey atleast it wasn't FLEX!


Even if this is possible, I think having widened your clavicles would make your chest seem narrow and sunken in comparison, since your ridcage wouldn't get any wider.  Guys that are natrually wide usually have a broad chest cavity as well to match it.

Go for it and let us know how it works.

Don't go heavy on the Reeve's deadlift, I'm sure you know not to even think about using as much weight as you do with reg. deads if you do em' that is.  (I don't)  I think you should search for some more info on it.

bonestructure = genetics

Some people have a ribcage of a gorilla without doing anything, the same with calves,
some fat people have gigantic calves, other walk on sticks.

Not everybody is genetically gifted to look like a greek god. You can only try,
and some people have to try harder then others.

Let's see......how to improve perfection with a broader shoulder structure for the massive muscular development of The Myth of getbig.com.  Having parents with wider frames is most important. As we all know, Mary & Joseph's (of Jesus fame) blood line can be traced down to our present Alexxx. And not anyone in that mid-eastern genetic line was know for barn door wide shoulders. We know all this through breaking down the Da Alexxx code. 

If The Myth has even watched male gymnast train (hopefully not for lustfull reasons) and observed all the stretching & hangs from the bar's & rings, it might become clean the importance of stretching the whole shoulder girdle for increased width. If a person is young enought (the cut off average is 22-24 years before the body starts becoming mature) and the cartilage around the joint/shoulder structure is still elastic, than the width will tend to increase. Gymnast usually start training at a very young age and can take advantage of all of this. This all has been told to me by a few gymnastic trainers.

Of course any of the following will depend on if The Myth's bone structure has not reached a mature state. Extra wide grip pull-ups to the front and behind the neck. And hanging from a wide grip  after the set is done, for 10-15 sesconds or so,  can be important. If the pull-up bar has hammer grip attachments than so more the better. One of the better movements is  hanging from a bar with one arm only, each side. The Reeves DL requires a strong grip, almost a pinch grip, and is not meant for everyone. Can give it a try. Hold the standing position for 10-15 seconds and repeat the DL. Wide grip, dead hang hi-pulls affect the shoulder width. This is also a good laterial/posterior head delts muscle builder. 

Good Luck to the big fella Alexxx. The Myth, The Man, The Legend to future BB'ing generations.

ok thanks. I already tried  wide grip deads and liked them. I did them at the end of my back workout 3 sets of 8 reps but i didn't hold  for 15 secs at the top. I have a very strong grip :)

alexx you could always have the clavicles cut, then spread apart a 1/4 inch then bone will fill in the gap thereby making you 1/2 inch wider. If you continue you could almost get at least 6 inches across, of course you'll be laid up for at least a year and couldn't lift, but you would be "wider". ;D

Old-Flap: We all here at GetBig.com  are starting a fund to send Alexxx to a much needed mental health hospital. The voices he hears in his head and the increased state of delusions are overtaking him at an alarming rate. We, as a group, are highly concern about the lads rapid and dangerious approach to the dark side of total insanity. Any and all donations in the form of dollars, euro's, yen, peso's etc will be gladly accepted. Some of our local women are having car wash's and yard sale's this coming weekend to raise more funds for the poor emotionally challenged little chap, Alexxx. A few are even holding pray meeting's on a daily bases for him. If you care to offer what ever you can afford than go to www.WTF, let's save Alexxx.org. Thank you for your kindness.
