Your bone structures determine your body size, your ankle size, and wrist measurement. But what body frame do I have? Small frame body, medium skeletal frame size or larger human frame size? You might not know until you do a little of a simple task.
One of the reasons why guys have skinny wrists is the body frame. People with smaller boy frame sizes have pretty slimmer wrists and tiny arms and vice versa. So, how do you know if you have a small frame or a larger frame size?
How do you know if you have a small frame?
You can take a rough measurement of frame size by wrapping your thumb and index finger around your wrist at the point where you would wear a wristwatch.
If your thumb and index finger overlap, you have a small frame. If your thumb and index finger touch, you have a medium frame.
Without a body frame size calculator, you can use simple measurement at home – elbow and wrist.
Find Your Body Scale (bone structure) With Wrist Measurement
You have to take these simple ways to measure your wrist size accurately. Combined with your height, weight and bone structure, you can assess your bone structure or body frame.
Small Scale Body
You get a small bone structure or small body scale if:
- Your wrist size measures less than 14 cm (5.5″),
- Your ankle circumference measures less than 19 cm (7.5″),
- Your height comes less than 161 cm (5′ 4.5″),
Medium Scale Body
Midsize body frame is slightly larger than the skinny bone frame. So you are medium.
scale body size when:
- your wrist measurement falls from 14 cm to 16.5 cm (5.5″ to 7.5″),
- your height is at or measures over 161 cm to 170 cm (5′ 4.5″ to 5′ 7″),
- Your weight is normal range, or you are slightly overweight for that bone structure
Large Scale Body
Large-scale body has bigger bone structure than middle frame. So you are large scale
if:
- your wrist measurement is larger than 16.5 cm (7.5″),
- your ankle measurement is bigger than 23 cm (9″),
- your height measures above 170 cm (5′ 7″),
- your weight is normal or moderately overweight for that height and bone structure
