A member asked:
Does having a "large frame" mean that their skeleton weighs more than someone with a small frame?

One way to put it: That is a very succinct way of stating it. Typically you will notice larger overall bone structure if not general size as well. Think of a small dog like a yorkshire terrier compared to a st. Bernard. Look at wrist size, shoulder and hip width, etc.
