Frame Size (Wrist) Calculator

Use my wrist circumference to determine my frame size.

Since bone structure varies in size from person to person, researchers have added frame size as a factor in helping to determine someone's ideal weight. Knowing your frame size can help you set reasonable weight goals. Enter your height and wrist circumference and this calculator will use standard insurance industry tables to show your frame size and ideal weight range.

Charlotte diehl I am 60 yr old female 5'5" weigh 122 wrist is 6 inches what should I be? - 3/18/2015 2:29:40 PM

taco So apparently this thing can't measure bodies that are too small. I'm a 5'5" male and my wrist has a 5.75" circumference. It didn't recognize me under male. I had to switch to female where it told me that I was small framed and that I should weigh between 117-130 pounds. I'm at 155 right now, so it confirms I have some more weight to lose. I think this is rather accurate, but still confusing since it couldn't even measure me. I'm almost 25, so it's not like I have some growing left to do. I guess guys as small as me are just really uncommon. - 2/25/2015 10:01:10 PM

Michael I never knew that my hand was that large until I measure it. I guess that it is because I see them everyday. - 1/16/2015 5:13:16 AM

lil hey could you please tell me whats up with my body - 3/17/2014 7:54:56 PM

splooge @Luara its just giving an average range. You can be 10-15 pounds over if youre lean ripped with muscle. like im 5 11 with 6 inch wrist and my fighter weight class is 1555(which includes weight cutting). just google manny pacquio wrist size and you should get an article from badlefthook or bloodyelbow. and yes its acurate when you want to pick a weight class if you are a fit athlete. - 12/12/2013 1:18:10 AM
