Chest size

[JonP]

How exactly does one measure there chest? Do you go all the way around the body? half way? and where on the chest (i.e. nipple level, armpit level, etc)?

I measure my chest relaxed and then with the lats expanded and chest flexed. I have someone run the tape underneath my armpits and the tape goes at the highest part of my chest, which is as high as the armpit will allow without making the tape crooked. I find it impossible to take the measurement myself. I dont think anyone does it the same anyway.So the best way to gauge your personal progress is to measure the same way each time IMO. Hope that helps

I measure it right around my nipples.

Yeah it needs to be taken around the nipples just make sure that the tape is at an equal height on your back as it is on your chest, don't let the tape be all wavy or crooked.
