From this old thread: https://forums.sherdog.com/threads/how-to-make-hands-bigger.307723/page-2
At the bottom, @MatterOverMind posted "I hang weights off of my fingers for extended periods of time in order to lengthen them. This is usually for a minimum of 4 hours a day, but I try to shoot for 6 hours. You don't need a whole lot of weight. Start out with 2.5 plates hanging from each finger and gradually work your way to heavier weights. 2.5 lbs may not sound like much, but after a few hours, it gets pretty painful. Now I'm working with 10 lbs per finger and in two weeks, I'll be increasing to 12.5 lbs.
In addition, I do a lot of grip work so that my hands thicken up and don't look out of proportion. High reps are the key to this. I try to do 4,000 reps per hand with a gripper. I got mine from K-mart. Don't bother with the Captains of Crush or any other heavy-duty gripper. They're not meant to add size, just strength. Not that strength is bad, but you shouldn't worry about it until your hands are as big as you want them. There's basically no way to maintain hand strength while trying to enlarge them.
So far, I've been doing this for 8 months and my hands have gone from 7.25" to 7.875". It's taken a long time, but an increase of 5/8" is pretty good, I think."
I'm just wondering if he was serious or if he was definitely joking, it's hard to exactly tell because I can't see any of the photos he uploaded later, and in half his messages after he sounds serious, and in the other half he sounds like he's making jokes, but it also seems like he recommended his "program" to someone else.
Basically, I would just like to know whether he was telling a joke or being real, I know many of you may say that "it's impossible to grow the bone" and whatnot but I would just like to know whether you think/know if he was just fucking around or not, cause many people often seriously talk about their odd/unusual/eccentric training programs, workouts, etc. so I don't care if you think that it's impossible.
