I don't have the exact measurements, but i do remember that it is a wrist bone measurement. If I remember right, the home way to do it, is to take your hand and see if your thumb and middle finger touch when you put it around your opposite wrist, over the widest part (with the boney lumps). If the finger tips touch, you are small boned. If you have a small gap (1/2 inch or less) you are medium bones. Bigger than that, you are 'big boned'...
All big boned means is that your bones are larger than someone elses- if you are trying to determine your right weigh, skin fold fat measurements and total body fat measurements with a percent are much more accurate.

why would u want to know if u had big bones, who cares. People that are uneducated shout words like "im large boned and thats why i look this way". Get an X-ray done, the doc will tell u anything u want to know.

big boned is just an expression many people use. It's very rare to be big boned. You are probably just a 'Big Boy"

Steps to tell your frame size
1. Hold your hand out.
2. grab your wrist with your other hand
3.try and touch your thumb and middle finger.
If they touch you have a medium frame
if they dont you have a large frame (aka big boned)
if they are loose you have a small frame

Well, everytime I slide it in the women say "WOW that is the biggest ***** I have ever had" As for the other bones, you are not big boned it is another way to describe fat tubs of lard who over eat x

Take your thumb and index finger and try to wrap them around your wrist. If they touch you are not big bone. If they dont, you are.

Your wrist size is a good indicator - compare your wrists with people of a similar height.
