    Or in simpler terms
    Female - 6" medium frame
    Smaller- s
    Larger-l
    Male- 7" medium frame

    For more specific and accurate
    see above chart

    So my wrist is 8.5" around...I stand 5'10" ... what does this mean..im just not understanding.

    And how does this help me determine my ideal weight?

    Another method I found:

    Wrap your thumb and major fingers around your smallest part of your wrist.

    Small Frame -- the fingers overlap
    Medium Frame -- the fingers barely touch
    Large Frame -- the fingers don't touch

    I am not understanding the measurments either or how they relate to one another... could you post the link maybe?? Pretty sure I am medium to large frame....
    But the only thing that this method does not include is muscle mass..... I am buff AND chubby.... I will stay heavy but the goal is to melt away the fat so I am not AS heavy and not AS flabby. lol But I will probably never be "my ideal" weight. Although the frame thing does give me a little more wiggle room :)

    This makes me a large.... But doesn't this also depend on the length of one's fingers ?

    That's not so accurate - I would have a small frame by that calculation bec I have long fingers

    I have a small frame from the one that you supplied lol Which I know is not accurate cause I have VERY broad hips and broad shoulders. There is also an elbow test.. that one say I am medium. It's interesting how there are so many huh?

    U would be a large frame.
    The link for the charts is

    Wrist size and frame size is about bone structure- nothing to do with muscle size ( though larger bones support larger muscles but that's too complicated for here) I did not post weigh charts on here but most go according to frame size and height
