    I think there's some way to measure based on like the distance between each side of the bony parts of your elbow and like your wrist circumference, but I'm not sure on that. I'd like to know as well!

    Seems pretty accurate! Said I was of a medium frame, which I've pretty much always assumed. I just so happened to have a measuring tape in my desk drawer (that's a normal thing to have at work, right?) to measure my wrist and elbow haha

    I remember years ago, learning how to determine my body frame. What I have learned was to take your thumb and middle finger and wrap it around your other hand's wrist and this will tell you what your body frame is.

    Overlapping fingers = small frame
    Touching fingers = medium frame
    Fingers that don't touch = large frame
