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.

The one thing that isn't said is where is the measurement to be taken. Measurement is taken around the chest (girth).

I don't know. There's a chart out there and the one I got didn't fit. Someone has a chart out there that tells you

I used a seamstress measuring tape. Extend your arm parallel with your shoulder and have someone measure the distance around your elbow with the measuring tape.Sm: 8-9.5"Med: 9.5-11"Lg: 11-12"XL: 12-14"

Do you want the measurement with the plate extended or without extending it?

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.

Pull the tape around your body. Put the knob into the hole in the handle. Click the button on the handle so that the tape is snug against your body. Read the number just coming out of the side opposite of where you put the knob.... It makes measuring things like your arms, by yourself, much easier.

Your forearm is below the elbow, so with your arm hanging down and relaxed, measure an 1-2 inches below your elbow.

wont go around my bicep (mine's like 15 to 17 inches) or more to the point wont get around my TRICEP (with my arm out straight) but wont go around bicep with arm bent and bicep flexed. pretty much useless when lifting

For the most accurate measurements we recommend you rest your elbows on a table, position your arm so that the pressure cuff is at the same height as your heart, then position your palm upward.

You're overthinking this. Measure from under your knee cap (aka the bottom of your knee pit), not the top of your calf.

Not that I recall. You don't need one. It's a very basic tool. By the way, it's one of the best tools on the market. Simple-straight forward. Start slow, really concentrate on your form and your abs. Everyone who uses it at my gym use it on days they are hitting their core hard. It really works.

Measure your forearm at it's largest diameter. Not your bicep! If your between sizes, purchase the larger size. I made the mistake of buying the smaller size and it is too tight for comfort.The product is extremely well made! Hope this helps.

I would say it depends upon how extended or flexed you want your leg / knee to be.

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

Nope, it is not required. If you read my lengthy review one of the facts is that these exercises are the most customizable. You have points where one guy is on the pullup bar, two others are using free weights, and Andy is using the bands. Pullup bar is not necessary at all but it probably the hardest exercise in that set.

I think so. The measurements were pretty accurate. You'll probably have to do a bit of stretching.
