Hypothesis: Sit bone span equal to finger span
 
Help me test my hypothesis: Sit bone span is (approximately) equal to the span of the four fingers with the fingers together (measured near the finger tips, not at the knuckles).

Yes?

This is a serious attempt at science, so don't F with me!

Thanks

How exactly are you testing this theory...

CharlieWoo 09-10-08 05:53 PM

Well, you can measure both separately, or just hold yer fingers together, reach down and press in; simple enough.

gawd, lol...

no, doesn't work for me.
mine would be the entire width of my hand in a closed position, or the same width as my wallet...

Doesn't work for me... by at least 2 fingers.

I think this is a scam by cw to get us to put our hands on our butts.

txvintage 09-10-08 06:14 PM

No. Just, No.

I came to the same conclusion after testing.

BTW... not even close, I would need to use both hands to bridge the gap between my sitbones... but then I'm a girl, I'm supposed to have a big butt I guess.

I wear a size 12 shoe, as long as we're talking anatomical correlations.

The width of my foot is much closer than the width of my hand.

I want a pic of how you managed that...

NO...but....your foot size is ~equal to the length from the point of your elbow to the base of your palm....go ahead try it....put your foot up against the inside of your forearm.
