What Frame Size Are You? Find out

How to Identify Your Frame Size (Elbow Measurement)
Measure Your Elbow

You’ve probably heard the phrase “I’m not fat, I’m just big boned.” Most people hear this phrase and immediately roll their eyes in disbelief. But this phrase is truer than you think! A person really can have a larger bone structure. There are basically 3 different frame sizes: small, medium, and large. A person with a larger frame size can weigh more than someone with a smaller frame size, and still manage to look thinner. This article will discuss the "Elbow Measurement" test.


Instructions
Difficulty: Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Tape Measure


Step1Extend your left arm straight out in front of your body. Your palm should be facing your right side.
Step2Bend your elbow toward your body. Your arm should form a 90 degree angle and your forearm should be parallel to your body.
Step3Keep your fingers straight. Your palm should now be facing your body.
Step4Place your thumb and index finger on the two prominent bones on your elbow. These bones should be near the top and bottom.
Step5Measure the distance between the bones with a tape measure.
