Lee McCormack's Guide to Finding the Handlebar Width Sweet-Spot
Keep in mind, he did say, "If you’re very tall, they don’t make handlebars “wide enough” for you. That’s OK: It’s better to err toward narrow than toward wide."
At 5,9", my calculation came to 771. Interestingly, I decided to position my hands on a pullup bar which felt most comfortable. My thought that the pullup hand position should be measured, not the pushup hand position. My sweet spot for the pullup was 760.
Not saying that either method is set in stone, but found it interesting that the two mentioned above were close.
