Do I really have narrow clavicles?

How do i measure

Why do you care?

I met a guy with small clavicles once. Everything was fine for 6 months of lifting, but on the 7th month, his clavicle pulled right out of the skin. It was a devastating injury. If he had just given up on lifting, he could have lived a normal life

I was thinking about getting clavicle narrowing surgery. None of my 48L jackets fit anymore and it might be cheaper to take 2" out of my clavicle than buy new jackets.

I’ll consider selling what they take out for the right price..

Because i wanna measure?

@Emanualoo1

if i have narrow clavicles

Do you know the mean clavicle length and the standard deviation of all males?
Have you decided how many standard deviations short of the mean would be classified as “narrow clavicles.”?

[Smashedguitarist]

Priceless

Who is the dipshit that is putting this clavicle madness into these noobs? And is it a big joke to them, too? I mean either that, or this is a very elaborate prank directed at tnation.

I love it either way.

Noobs: who gives a fuck about the size of your clavicles? Christ. Lift heavy, and pretend you have a pair.

Honestly, clavicle length goes WAY back

Sock It To Me

Well I finally had a look at this one, and all I’ll say is definitely juiced, but not impressive at all. with your short limbs you have made fast gains on your legs and arms, yet the place that matters most in bodybuilding is the V taper and broad shoulder girth. this you will never attain due to your very under average length clavicles. to explain furthur, the length between the middle of your chest and your shoulders is too short, due to the length of bone there. I am not sure how much gen…

And, to reference, that comment was being made to a 19 year old Aaron Clark.

Who went on to become THIS Aaron Clark

That image is when he won the NYPro, for reference

Lack of genetics to build muscle is far worse than having genetic “narrow clavicles.”

[T3hPwnisher]

Honestly, being a parent, I think being born with the correct number of chromosomes is winning the genetic lottery.

19 year old Aaron Clark

Don’t forget this was him at 17.

He looks like everyone who has posted about this in the last week, but how much sleep do you think he lost over it?

[T3hPwnisher]

Yup.

I remember when the whole point OF lifting weights was to transform from a 98lb weakling into a He-man.

Can you imagine the ad these days where the kid goes home and looks up some articles online telling him it’s hopeless?

But what if…

Not a chance. Look at the veins in his forearm. And a fairly thick neck for a 17 year old.

@Emanualoo1

are you just messing with me because ur making me scared

I am messing with you. I like to take pseudo medical jibber jabber and scare children.

The reason you’re getting a bad reception with this question, as all noobs do, is because it makes you look like somebody that is putting the results before the effort.

It doesn’t work that way. Thats what losers do. They want to know if it will be “worth it”.

If thats the question, then the answer is no. Its not. You can’t hedge your efforts. That virtually guarantees failure.
The first schedule change or rainy day, or day ending in Y, and that person is gone. Cuz its “not worth it.”.

So do it. Give it an honest effort (work hard), for an extended period of time. THEN ask YOURSELF if its “worth it”.

At that point you will have become educated, and it will be a rational decision.

[Emanualoo1]

I dont know about that
