How To Determine Body Frame Size Print E-mail

Question:

How do I tell if my body frame is Small, Medium or Large?

 

Here's a quick estimate you can do right now. Wrap your thumb & middle finger around your opposite wrist at the smallest point.


  • If your middle finger & thumb overlap, you have a SMALL frame
  • If your middle finger & thumb meet, you have a MEDIUM frame
  • If your middle finger & thumb don't meet, you have a LARGE frame

Want something more concrete? Grab a tape measure and use the following chart to determine whether you're small, medium, or large boned.

Women – Wrist Circumference:

 

Under 5'2"
small = wrist <5.5"
medium = wrist 5.5” to 5.75"
large = wrist size > 5.75"

5'2" to 5'5"
small = wrist <6"
medium = wrist 6" to 6.25"
large = wrist > 6.25"

Over 5'5"
small = wrist <6.25"
medium = wrist 6.25" to 6.5"
large = wrist > 6.5"
