Pull up size is not a standard measurement that applies to clothing or fitness equipment. Instead, the term "pull up" typically refers to the exercise itself and might sometimes be confused with a related concept of size related to clothing. To determine the appropriate size for fitness wear (e.g., pants, shorts, or leotards), you would measure your body as explained below, not the pull-up bar itself.
To measure your body for clothing or fitness wear sizes, follow these steps:
Steps to Determine Your Clothing Size
Here's a straightforward process to find the correct size based on your body measurements, as explained in the provided reference:
-
Measure Your Waist:
- Locate your belly button.
- Use a measuring tape to measure around your waist at the level of your belly button.
- Record this measurement.
-
Measure Your Hips:
- Stand with your feet together.
- Measure the fullest part of your hips using the measuring tape.
- Record this measurement.
-
Compare and Choose Size:
- Compare your waist and hip measurements.
- Take the smaller of the two measurements as the basis for choosing your clothing size.
Example
For instance, if your waist measurement is 32 inches and your hip measurement is 36 inches, you would use the smaller measurement, 32 inches, as a guide for your size. Always refer to size charts provided by the manufacturer or retailer since they may differ slightly.

Practical Insights
- Use a Flexible Tape Measure: A flexible fabric measuring tape is essential for accurate body measurements.
- Don't Pull Too Tight: Ensure the measuring tape is snug but not tight against your skin to avoid inaccurate readings.
- Record Measurements in Inches or Centimeters: Use the appropriate units based on where you are or the specific brand you're checking.
- Check the Specific Size Chart: Size charts vary across brands and styles. It is highly recommended to refer to the brand-specific size guide.
