What are the ideal body measurements?
Just uploaded a new article:
What are the ideal body measurements?
The article is written by Tom Venuto and is a good read.
Enjoy! |

Great read! Steve Reeves is definitely a good example of ideal measurements. If I get some time this week/end I'll throw those formulas into a spreadsheet.

this got me wondering if there's something similar for women in terms of earnest bodybuilding proportions? (not just for good ogling  ...although I'm not opposed to finding out what those proportions might be...maybe a future poll topic? ha ha...which would surely rub some of us ladies the wrong way...)
stik.
...or maybe, are these proportions supposed to apply to women as well?
