I had a fairly bad case of tendonitis in both wrists when I was younger. They have been left weak by this. If I push somebody (in Rugby) away it bends back, same if I fall they bend back easily.

I'd recommend general forearm strengthening work, it should thicken the bones and the tendons aswell as the muscle all along the forum.

Yes. You just have to break them first.

Any demanding physical exercise will cause the bones to become more dense and in some cases thicker and certainly stronger.

Dont mean to go off topic, but when does ones bones stop growing? (Am I right in saying it in your 30's) Is it fair to say that the more bone mass - the more muscular tissue the bone will support - therefore more potential for strength/power?

Yeah I know that this will make the bone more dense, tougher and stronger, but I just wasnt sure if you can 'thicken' them i.e. increase the circumferance of the bone.

Only because the wrist bones fuse together as you grow older.
