What is Frame Size?
The 0ur website gives the following instructions3
to estimate frame size:
"Bend forearm upward at a 90 degree angle. Keep fingers
straight and turn the inside of your wrist toward your body.
Place thumb and index finger of other hand on the two
prominent bones on either side of the elbow. Measure space
between your fingers on a ruler. (A physician would use a
caliper.) Compare with tables below listing elbow
measurements for medium-framed men and women.
Measurements lower than those listed indicate small frame.
Higher measurements indicate large frame."

Credit should be
given to the Med Life table creators for
attempting to use "frame size" as a way to
compensate for the differences between peoples
body shapes and skeletal muscle mass. In theory,
elbow-width or wrist-width does correlate fairly
well with muscle and bone mass. But in practice,
the definition of frame size is too difficult
for people to use, so virtually nobody uses
frame size as intended. Instead, people
subjectively choose their own categories.
