Measure your chest circumference directly under your arm pits above nipples. Measure your arm/bicep circumference at the largest part. All measurements should be taken relaxed and unflexed.

Bench Shirts and Erector Shirts

To choose your own size in Erector Shirts, Standard Blast shirt, HD Blast, HPHD, EHPHD and PHENOM: For first time users it is recommended taht you add 2 to your shoulder circumference measurement to get your shirt size.
For example, if your shoulder circumference is 50, 50 + 2 = 52. Or you may add 9 to your chest measurement to arrive at your shirt size.
Choose whichever method gives you the smaller number for your shirt size.
For most everyone else, your shoulder circumference measurement is your shirt size. You may choose to go a size smaller, however there is a chance it would be too tight for you.
