Sounds weird right? Well, it sort of is, but look at the pics-I'm curious to see if other guitar/bass players get super-over-developed hands.
I'm sure someone here has got to have the same sort of thing going on right?
I mean, it freaked my mom out when I showed her, haha so I'm sure it's not a very common thing, but I'm assuming it is for guitarists and bassists.
Here is my picking hand.

I can't see anything wrong with your hand. Seems normal to me.

I wish XD haha

No, I don't have even Paint to use, let alone photoshop to make a circle around the spot I am referring to.
Look at the tendon from the thumb to the upper palm-it's quite enlarged I guess. The other is similar, but harder to see since it doesn't stick out as much as the picking hand's, but it's a lot fatter. If it's pretty normal, then, you've answered my question haha

@BBT
Wow, dude, that kinda blows. Does it make doing barre chords any more/less difficult?

@case how do you not have paint it's a default program in windows? If it's not there you can get a list of default programs from control panel and get your computer to show it. (If my memory is correct)

I'm right handed but the grip of my left hand is much stronger than my right. I've also been told that I have a quiet legato style of typing here at work!

yeah it makes it a bit difficult for some things, especially since I like to use my thumb quite abit. but I can squeeze my fingers into some tight spaces! which is helpful I guess

I see what you mean... You're a freak! Ha. Only kidding. I don't have that on my hands. But I guess if you work out the muscles in your hand they will get larger. ;)

Rock on!
