How to know if your shoulders are round or beaky on Kibbe Body Type Analysis

There are many doubts about rounded and beaked shoulders when we are looking to know what our Kibbe body type is.

Recently one of my clients had doubts about this, and so today I want to tell you more in detail what is involved in differentiating rounded shoulders from beaked shoulders. From here I would also like to thank all the customers who continue with me, because you make me really happy and encourage me to continue!

First we need that when you analyze your images you do it from the front. That is, take a picture of yourself from the front trying not to make the body look different from reality.

The body should be straight in front of the camera to be able to appreciate the shape of the shoulder. The arms should be falling to the sides of the body, without being separated from the trunk of the body, but also without pressing it, in a relaxed position.

We take four people as examples to see their shoulders two examples like Jessica Chastain, Angelina Jolie, Margot Robbie and Florence Pugh.

In the image you will see the following lines drawn to help you know the curvature of the shoulders:

1) Clavicle line (red): the line passes through the clavicle bone.
2) Underarm line (green): this is an auxiliary line.
3) Line (orange) that passes through the widest outer area of the shoulder at the armpit line.

If you notice, when you draw these lines they cut each other. And an area is formed above the curve of the shoulder (4 pink area / area of the shoulder arc) which is decisive to know if your shoulder is round or beaked.

The larger this area number four is, the more curvature of the shoulder there is. Therefore, it would be a more rounded, feminine, yang type shoulder, although both yang and yin bodies can have it because feminine characteristics also exist within the bodies of the yin part of the female scale.

And if this area is quite small your shoulder will be beaked, as the shoulder causes less curvature and will look more like a 90 degree angle.

You can get your Kibbe body type result with my measurement calculator but remember that you have to know how to differentiate if your shoulders are rounded or rounded as I explain here. Since this value is difficult to automate in the calculator and can only be determined visually as I have explained.

As you can see, Jessica Chastain and Angelina Jolie have rounded shoulders where this pink area is very small. Margot Robbie and Florence Pugh on the other hand, have rounded shoulders with a wider curvature.
