I’m a 22 yo male, 5’7 and I have very small wrists. I measured them to be 5.5 inches. I used the Casey Butt formula calculator and the results show that the maximum bicep size I can achieve is 12.54 inches. Is this realiable ?

Due to my Elhers-Danlos (just google it), I had to start with 3lb dumbbell curls since they were very difficult at first. Just getting that lift t…
