Best way to measure elastic for arms/legs

How have y'all gone about measuring the proper length of the elastic straps for the arm/leg armor pieces? I unfortunately don't have anyone to help measure while I hold the armor on myself, so looking for tips before I start cutting.

I was thinking I could wrap the elastic comfortably tight around my bare arm/leg & cut approximately that size, then when I wear it over the jumpsuit it will be slightly stretched and hold well. Yay/nay on that route?

Thanks

They way I did my strapping was to sew loop velcro on all my straps then used industrial adhesive hook on the insides of my forearms, biceps, shoulders, and knees. Doing it like that will allow you to be able to adjust the fit so they are snug.

That's what I did as well.
