You have probably heard of an exercise and weight loss program for men called the
adonis effect.
They use the following ratios to determine the pefect body:
| waist/height | .447 | | shoulder/waist | 1.618 |
To
use this chart: Start with your height and multiply
by .447 to get your ideal waist. Multiply your waist by 1.618
to get your ideal shoulder mesurements. Example: If
you are 5'10" that is 70 inches. 70 x .447 = 31.29 inch waist. 31.29
inch waist X 1.618 = 50.62 inch shoulders.
Perhaps you would rather use a calculator to determine your ideal body measurements. This calculator will give you information based not on your height or weight, but on your wrist size:
