This is a tough pulse to read unless your know exactly where to feel. To find it, point your arm in front of you, then bend your arm at a 90 degree angle upward without flexing your muscle, and take your index and middle finder about 1/2 of the way from your shoulder on the inside and between your tricep and bicep toward the center of the humorus.
