Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
uses the following chart to calculate your 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 measurement is below what is
listed than you are a small frame, if it is larger than you are a large
frame.
