Hi guys, I was just wondering about the average shoulder width, since theres no answers on google, just thought I'd put a quick poll on here.
Also, do you lot curl more on Arnie curls?
I can Arnie curl 30kg, but only 20kg on normal dumbell curls.

I'm aware there are two measurements for shoulder width. From the edge of one deltiod to the other is the actual width, so I'll go with that, 20" for me. But there's also 'joint to joint' which will be a lot less.
Imo the correct way is from the edge of one delt to the other, because this is the widest point and how your width will be percieved by others.

My shoulder width is over 50 inches...
The poll is misleading, the correct way to measure shoulder width is:
"Stand straight in a relaxed position with arms hanging to the sides.
Have someone place the end of measuring tape at the widest point on one delt.
Wrap tape around opposite shoulder until it meets at the original point.
Avoid the tendency to flare the lats out as, although good for the ego, this will create give a false measurement."
Also, if you go to your measurement on your bb.com page, you can watch the video on how to properly measure shoulder width.
