title , how many cm at least ?
 
It's more about ratios than anything. Clavicule width and pelvis width/limbs length and skull size.It's not about numbers.

JFL at my 25th percentile frame
this is military measurement

25 percentile could actually be average in the normal human population

Frame is not just shoulder width but overall size of the body. You can't do " just roid for frame gains". Even if you have top tier fwhr to bideltoid ratio and shoulder width to waist ratio, if you don't have size, you'll look tiny compared to huge frame Gigachads

Look at Jason Mamoa framemogging the entire Chadstice league crew. Everyone in that group are already 90th percentile

53.5 cm bideltoid


my breast muscles even have spacing inbetween lol


I measured by laying down and but 2 water bottles on the side of my shoulders and then measured

maybe this is a bad way of measuring ?

i feel like i am measuring wrong because I look quite wide and gymcelled 6'2 guy should probably be more than 25%

true

measure in my way, then we could compare
 
At least 54 cm.
 
Just go off shirt fitting and your look in general. Bideltoid and Biacromial are kinda silly measurements because by that logic the average American frame mogs 99% of people since theyre so fat and wide. In my opinon, and just going off US sizes for shirts which vary slightly, if you're 5'10''-6'0'' and the shoulder seams for a large shirt line up with your biacromial processes or maybe go slightly over it then you have a DOM frame (extremely good frame if you're under 5'10''). Above 6 or maybe 6'1'' you should definitely be filling the shoulder area for an extra large for a DOM frame. Below 5'10'' I guess Mediums. but consider your weight in all of this, if you take two twins are the same exact height with a 30 lb difference the heavier should be much wider. It's really just proprotions theres no cookie cutter way of comparing.

Damn Blessed.

Something interesting to note:

If you are at 50th percentile (average for this study),

•To get to 75th percentile, all you’d need is literally 0.87 inch total, or 0.435 inch on each shoulder. Easily attainable through working out, and also attainable on its own through Eppley’s deltoid implants if you’re already gym maxed and can’t gain anymore delt width without roids.

•To get to 95th percentile, you would need to get 2.28 inches total, or 1.14 inches on each shoulder. Attainable through working out and/or deltoid implants and/or clavicle lengthening. That last option should only be considered by those who start of at like 1st to 10th percentile and want to end up in the high 90spercenttile

The only problem I can see with shirt fittings is that your traps can take up a bunch of space and make your shirt feel much tighter at the shoulder seams, no?

Also I see no problem with using your bideltoid width. If you either have a very wide head or are carrying fat on your shoulders, then obviously take it into account. It’s useful because it’s an objective measurement like height. There are plenty of people who make look taller or shorter than their real height for a variety of reasons, but we would never say that because of this one should discard the idea of measuring height in feet and inches or centimeters

Yea possibly, it's just one of the better ways of measuring shirt fits bc the biacromial processes area consistent way of gauging your collarbone length which cant be altered. Usually if you go to a really good tailor or suit place they'll measure from that bony part to the other to determine your jacket size for example. But like I said in the end it's all just proportionate everyone is a different height and weight. Like someone said Arnold was a 23.5 inch bideltoid but some fatass rapper has a 26 inch bideltoid (forgot his name)

Yeah fair enough it's just I remember seeing posts on Lookism.net about people getting discouraged and being labeled as "framecel" bc the average american is obese and have massive bideltoid measurements vs the lean gymmer who has a much lower bideltoid but looks better obviously. but srs arnold has 23.5 bideltoids and I've seen alot of people on here and lookism.net saying they have 22 inch bideltoids and claiming they dont look big or wide.

Those PSLers are idiots then lmao. Anyone who would feel ashamed for having a better body but a thinner bideltoid than an obese person should look turn off their laptop and take a stroll outside to the average American grocery store to see how delusional this thinking is.

I remember there was a thread of someone mirin hard some megaobese man’s bideltoid at his local super market. Think he even took pictures of him JFL

If you have long clavicles and small waist you have a good frame.

With large rib cage being the cherry on top (not necessary if you gymmax but definitely a positive)

How can I tell if I have a large rib cage?
 
if i measured corrected (an inch under nipples) i got 35in at 19
Sadly can’t find averages but either you have a disproportionately narrow one for your height or I have a disproportionately large one for my height. I’m 5’10 and before I started expanding it was a little over 37.5

For some reason I thought you were like 22. At our age, rib cage expansion is still possible:

https://www.t-nation.com/training/ribcage-expansion-fact-or-fiction

In a few months I gained over an inch (and I’ve lost weight).

Obviously your rib cage “width” would be more important then rib cage “depth”. But you’d need calipers or something to measure, and expanding seems to grow both depth and width. And even if you just increase in depth, that’s still a huge frame boost in 3 dimensions, Which is how people in the real world see us. From a 3/4 profile, a huge rib cage with armor like pecs bolted on top look insane on a narrow waist.

PS: Of course rib cage isn’t everything, Jon Skywalker had a very narrow one in his before pics.

I’m still cutting but I plan to properly gymcel afterwards.
Your waist seems very narrow, that’s good.
Do you know your bideltoid? I ask because if it’s actually narrow, it will look massive after building muscle on your small waist

Yeah I have a 29” waist. My bideltoid is like ~20in. Give or take half an inch.

That’s exactly what I would’ve guessed. Mine before any working out when I was skinny was like 18.5

So don’t worry about your narrow rib cage the bideltoid halos you’re frame, and you can still expand your ribcage.

If you can get to a 22 inch bideltoid with a 29 inch waist, you will look insane. Anything more than that and doubly so.

With that waist you’ll look like spike spiegel lmao

just got my biacromial measure by my tailor at 17.5", what would be an estimate of my bideltoid roughly? Didn't ask him to measure cuz didn't want to seem like a sperg jfl

I have a 99th percentile biacromial width, but a bideltoid width of 20.25 in. How tf does this happen and what does it mean?
 
My frame is 51cm. WTF, i have massive frame.
