Theory:
The wrist has a fuck ton of small carpal bones and the distal ends of the radius and ulna.
Based on what we know from orthodontics, limb lengthening, and facial bone remodeling, mechanical loading combined with localized stimulation can create microenvironmental conditions for osteogenesis. I propose the same logic can be applied to wrist thickening, particularly through LSJL (Lateral Synovial Joint Loading) and LIPUS (Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound). We're going to be increasing the periosteal bone formation, remodel the trabecular bone in the wrist region, and thicken the distal radius and ulna.
Results (7 in -> 9 in ~8 yrs):
ITEMS NEEDED:
- C-clamps, padded vise grips or a manual compression
- Lipus machine
LSJL creates pressure gradients in the epiphysis and metaphysis of bones, promoting fluid flow into cartilage canals and marrow spaces. This mechanical stress mimics conditions during growth plate stimulation.
“Joint loading stimulates expression of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)” – Zhang et al., 2010
LIPUS is FDA-approved for accelerating fracture healing. It has been shown to:
- Stimulate osteoblast proliferation
- Upregulate integrins and BMP-2
- Enhance blood flow and nutrient exchange in the periosteum
- Promote angiogenesis, which is essential for osteogenesis
“LIPUS at 1.5 MHz, 20 min/day has been shown to increase cortical bone thickness in vivo” – Duarte, 1983; Azuma et al., 2001
LSJL
You’ll be targeting the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints.
What you need is C-clamps, padded vise grips, or a manual compression using your body weight.
You should spend around 2-5 mins per wrist, do it daily.
For the load you need enough pressure to feel joint compression but not pain.
Lipus
I prefer using my Lipus machine for this, it's always good for giving bone mass.
For my Lipus I use a 1.5 MHz, 30 mW/cm² for 20 mins targeting my ulna-radius junction and carpal bones.
You also want to do this daily.
What I also like to do is combine with loading immediately post Lipus to exploit the anabolic window.
With consistent mechanical loading and cellular stimulation, osteogenic plasticity can be exploited well beyond puberty.
