Enter your wrist size into the calculator to estimate your muscle potential. This calculator uses a formula based on wrist circumference to provide an estimate of the maximum lean body mass one can achieve naturally.
Muscle Potential Formula
The following formula is used to estimate the muscle potential based on wrist size.
MP = WS * F
Variables:
- MP is the muscle potential (pounds)
- WS is the wrist size (inches)
- F is the factor that relates wrist size to muscle potential (constant)
To estimate muscle potential, multiply the wrist size by a factor that relates wrist size to muscle potential. In this calculator, we use a factor of 10, which is a simplified average value for demonstration purposes.
What is Muscle Potential?
Muscle potential refers to the estimated maximum amount of muscle mass an individual can achieve naturally, without the use of performance-enhancing drugs. It is often calculated based on bone structure, with wrist size being a common measurement used to estimate potential due to its correlation with overall frame size.
How to Calculate Muscle Potential?
The following steps outline how to estimate the Muscle Potential based on wrist size.
- First, measure your wrist size (WS) in inches.
- Next, use the formula MP = WS * F, where F is the factor relating wrist size to muscle potential.
- Finally, calculate your Muscle Potential (MP) in pounds.
- After inserting your wrist size and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
wrist size (WS) = 6.5 inches
Using the factor (F) = 10
muscle potential (MP) = 6.5 * 10 = 65 pounds
