No yapping just getting straight to it

What you have to understand most people mistake the points where they have to measure from. They think the most outer part of the shoulder is where the bone starts but thats just tendons/muscles

Here is the clavicle bone for instance:

After you have found out where the bone sits you go get a pencil and lean towards a wall facing the opposite direction

If your posture is fucked, make the shoulder blades lay flat against the wall so that it doesnt create that extra space inbetween you and the wall. But not too much just to the point where the leftover space is gone

Afterwards you stand still, take the pencil and mark the point strictly perpendicular to the wall, the same goes for the other side and dont move your body at all

Now you take a measuring tape or whatever tool and measure the distance.

From the distance you subtract approx 7mm from the pencil, as the wood between your bone and the graphite also has a distance ( 3.5mm + 3.5mm )
caliper

Its better if you have someone do it for you since it can be hard to do it yourself, most accurate way is to get it measured by a broad caliper but not everyone has it at home so it is the best alternative for now

Useful, but wouldnt bidelt be more practical and easier of a measurement?

Yes it is more practical, this is just solely for measuring the skeletal width of the clavicles

Bidelt is more important irl but biocremial determines your frame pretty much

Its most likely not 55 cm, statistics say its nearly impossible to achieve that

Try measuring it how I described
Yeah iam trolling :Comfy:

Nah but really what's the ideal range

Oh mb thought you said "thats" instead of whats

Ideal should be just your index which is

Biocromial breadth : height × 100

Ideal is 22.5 +-

That's shoulder width right not Dick ?

framelet hope:

This is wrong, if you are measuring from there you are actually measuring the acromioclavicular joint instead of the acromion bone (biacromial)
Acromion process


I used to measure like this with the pencil and wall method and regularly got 34-36 cm (baby tier), but after measuring correctly it made a difference of 3-5 cm.

Here is the proper bone of which edge you should measure the width between,
more above your arm ↓↓↓

Interesting, havent heard that one before

Im not quite sure how you are supposed to locate the bone and it still is not theoretically the part of the clavicle

But it is a fair point for measuring the optical width of your shoulders

And also studies have used the acromion joint as the reference point

Havent gotten a good reply in years

well the clavicles aren't the only thing that contribute to your frame, stuff like the scapula matters as well
To find the acromion rotate your arm and you should feel a bony shelf above your delt, that stays completely still as you arms moves:

It is pretty easy to confuse with the AC joint tho, there are also different types:
