What is the Adonis Muscle?
The
Adonis muscle does not exit, but it does refer to the muscles of
the shoulder, and to some extent the upper chest and upper arms.
These
Adonis muscles, shoulder muscles, help give men the Adons shape or
Adonis index which is the ratio of ones measurements around
the
shoulders compaired to ones waist. This ideal shape or Adonix
index is
1.618.
Example
if you are in reasonably good condition (say 8 -10% fat) and
have a waist of 30 inches:
You should have 30 X 1.618
= 48.54 inches around your shoulders.
This
is the shape on averarge that women find most attractive in men.
It was originaly found in the sculptures of ancient Greece,
but has
been confirmed by those doing clothing research. (Ever wander why mens
sports coats have padding in the shoulders? ) Similar
measurements can
be found at
ideal body measurements for men.
Also
this ratio seems to be compair faforably with what women say they
like in the blogs. The larger ratios as seen on body builders
does not
seem to be as attractive to women.
What is the
best way to work on the Adonis muscle? If you really want the
details, go to the
Adonis effect website.
I might also suggest a less expensive solution of the
Burn the Fat Inner Circle.
This site has a workout program that is about an hour 3 or 4 days a week that will help build muscle int a very quick way.
I am 60 years old now and I wish I would have gotten some advice when I was younger. I lifted for years and never made much progress simply because I did not know what I was doing.
By the way it is not necessary to get the exact 1.618 Adonis index, as a matter of fact people who worry too much about having this ideal male body are said to suffer from the "Adonis Complex." Just lose weight in your waist and work on your adonis muscle and you will be ok.
Adonis was one of may Greek gods. In all the stories Adonis was young and had many lovers so was pictured with an ideal body in all the Greek art work.
Here is a picture of Adonis.
But wait, Do not take my word for it. See what John Barban the creator of this workout has to say:
Three
Measurements to Build a Perfect Body by
John Barban (Author of the
Adonis Index Workout, a specific method for building a man’s body into
its most attractive shape that women find the most
attractive. )
Have you ever wondered how we all can spot a man that just
looks better? We can even recognize other shapes – a building or a
sculpture that just looks ‘right’? All people have an inherent ability
to recognize beauty when they see it, but few have ever stopped and
tried to describe and measure it.
There is a specific set of measurements and ratios that can
tell you what the perfectly proportioned body looks like. Classic Greek
and Roman sculptors like Leonardo da Vinci figured out these
proportions a long time ago but over time, the concept has disappeared.
The 3 measurements you need to know to determine your ideal
proportions are as follows:
1) Height
2) Waist
3) Shoulders
Research done on human anatomy, classic art sculpture, and the
psychology of attraction tells us that there is a specific body shape
and size that people will find most attractive and pleasing.
People that are close to this ideal size are generally treated more
favorably, because we live in a society that is driven by beauty and
perfection. Given the physical and social benefits of a perfectly
proportioned body, aren’t you curious to know what your specific ideal
size and shape is, and how to get it?
Starting with your height measurement, each person will have
an ideal waist measurement and ideal shoulder measurement that equal
your perfect body proportions. These are not up for debate. Scientific
research indicates women will find a man most attractive when his
proportions approach these ideal measurements. Most people have no idea
what these measurements are or how to achieve them.
Where do you start? You need to know where you are
now compared to what your ideal is. Once you know your starting point
you can determine how to go about getting to where you want to be. The
fitness industry has always been striving for the perfectly
proportioned look. However, until now nobody has managed to pin down
what this “look” is, how to measure it, and how to get it.
I’ve created a workout that is based on bringing you to your
specific ideal body shape starting with your current measurements. This
specific and defined goal is the best way I have found to formulate an
effective workout strategy that gets you to where you want to be.
Forget just doing weights to get big, or doing cardio to burn
fat, I’m talking about a specific workout routine to build your body
into its perfect form. To get bigger only in the right places and lose
inches where you need to. This routine is called the Adonis Index Workout
