So I am a beginner (male) in the gym and honestly I am feeling really good. 2 Months ago I started my cable lat pulldown at about 29 kg and was exhausted mid set 2 and went down with the weight.

Now my warm up is basically 35 kg and now I am at 47 kg.

Almost all exercises I increased my weight by a lot and while I don’t really notice physical difference besides my body fat vanishing and my strength going up by numbers I am still excited and will keep going on.

I am 80 kg and 175 cm tall, my goal is losing more fat and gaining a bit more muscles but in general I’d say my goal is about 72-74 kg because I want to start climbing again soon.

Now my question of this topic is something else that makes me wonder. My wrists and fingers are so small, I mean really small for a male. I work as a nurse and I use size “S” in germany gloves.

I don’t want to but even if I would want to can I actually become a Hulk? Like is that even possible? It seems I would look really weird if I had huge muscles because of how small my wrist, fingers and my head is. It would look so hilarious.

My goal isn’t to become bulky anyways but I am just wondering what if it was my goal? Would that be possible? I seem to have very skinny bones.

    It is always easier and simpler to lose muscle than to gain it. If you find you start to look too “Hulk-like”, then just stopping for a few weeks will bring you back. Bonus is the muscle memory you gained from reaching “Hulk-like” will make it even easier to maintain the level you want to be at.
