chest measurement

[smoothathlete]

What is the correct position to measure chest/pec size? Should the tape measure be wrapped around at the nipple line or higher up at the level of the arm pits?

I always do nipple line, since that is the farthest out that the pecs project, but I'm not sure. Going higher will add more lat size, while going nipple line incorporates more of the pec size. It's a tradeoff measurement either way, IMO.
