Research has confirmed that frame size (bone thickness and shoulder width) is positively associated with one's level of muscle mass<ref>https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/75/6/1012/4689430</ref>, and that increased bone mass is associated with a more favorable response to resistance training.<ref>https://doi.org<nowiki/>/10.1249/00005768-199404000-00018</ref> | |||
One's natural muscular potential (without the use of [[anabolic steroids]], AKA "natty", can be estimated with some degree of accuracy per Casey Butt's formula<ref>http://www.weightrainer.net/potential.html</ref> (which also includes [[heightcel|height]] and ankle circumference). | |||

As noted above, wrist circumference is considered essential by some [[Framecel|framecels]] because it is generally a bone thickness measure. Bone thickness determines how much muscle your frame can support. It is also important regarding strength potential, with wrist circumference (on its own) being moderately correlated with grip strength, which is itself generally an excellent measure of overall upper-body strength.<ref>https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/b6d7/a751aebf172793c382c72fb6ea1b1794174c.pdf</ref> So it's not the wrists themselves that are important, but the fact that they serve as a reliable indicator of the robustness of one's [[frame]], which is strongly associated with one's physical strength and capacity to build muscle. | As noted above, wrist circumference is considered essential by some [[Framecel|framecels]] because it is generally a bone thickness measure.
