Calculating Your Frame Size
Following is the method the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company used to calculate frame size:
- Extend your arm in front of your body bending your elbow at a ninety degree angle to your body so that your forearm is parallel to your body.
- Keep your fingers straight and turn the inside of your wrist towards your body.
- Place your thumb and index finger on the two prominent bones on either side of your elbow, then measure the distance between the bones with a tape measure or calipers.
- Compare to the chart below. The chart lists elbow measurements for a medium frame – if your elbow measurement for that particular height is less than the number of inches listed, you are a small frame – if your elbow measurement for that particular height is more than the number of inches listed, your are a large frame.
| Elbow Measurements for Medium Frame | |||
| 6′4″ | 2-7/8″ to 3-1/4″ | 6′0″ |
2-1/2″ to 2-3/4″ |
