So, according to the chart do I need to measure with or without a flexed bicep?

The 2XU website has a sizing chart for this and clearly states: "Measurements for the arm sleeves should be taken in a relaxed state at the largest girth of the bicep and the forearm. If your measurements of two different points for a garment do not correlate for one particular size, first try the size recommended by your forearm measurement." So NOT flexed. The other answer is just wrong.

there are charts you can on the internet. but for a rule of thumb they should be knee height

Measure just below elbow point with arm straight, error on smaller size if close

I got this one before, and someone else chimed in. If you go to Tommy Copper website, I guess there is a chart there.

You are definitely not missing something. I get the same reading. Since you are holding something that is not a part of your normal body composition the scale gives you the actual weight that is standing on it. Between the handles and, I would assume, the coiled lead it will take into account the additional weight. If I want my true weight I step on the scale without the handles first. I use the handle and those readings for progress only, not actual weight.

From what point do you want the measurement taken. I can help, but need a little more info

The only information you gave is that you are a little taller. Don't know how tall you are. I'm about 5 and 1/2 feet tall and my arms are still bent a lot. I don't feel that you would have to lean over.

Below the elbow is where i was told to measure and that was the correct way to mesure

No, it is not necessary. It will help build up your arms but I am a senior and not worried about that. I use the bars for only 3% of my exercise. The other 97% I am reading while I work my legs for an hour. I like it all. Good Luck to you.

You are supposed to measure around your elbow. It says in the listing what measurement corresponds to the sizes. I would guess that you need a large. Or possibly extra large.

The WIDTH is the measurement you need. The poles flex a bit, so your measurement doesn't have to be exact.

I would say B. It isn't really flexible and I needed to buy some 90 deg. joints to get the needed flexibility.

Measure your wrist, bicep (at thickest parts) as well as length from wrist to bicep. I did not measure the bent elbow but if you're wondering it measures a little under 12". I ordered large and my bicep measured 13", wrist 7&1/2" and length 17". It has a good stretch, if you're a little larger, yet maintains great compression. I really love them, surprised at how well they work.

They have a chart that tells you how to measure. If it is close to the high measure go to the next larger.

When measuring, ensure that the elbow is slightly bent (about 30° flexion). Measure the circumference at the level of elbow

No, all meters require blood. What they mean is you can stick your forearm instead but its less accurate that way. Hope this helps.

No, you don't have to be that super accurate. Just line it up with the center of the inside of your arm and your all set. Stay away from anything that doesn't wrap around your upper arm, it's difficult enough to get these to give accurate results. Wrist cuffs are particularly lousy. This unit has a good rep. and was also rated good by Consumer Reports.
