A couple of years ago I read an artical where someone had taken measurements of Adonis. They then broke them into ratios so you could take the statues measurements and compare yourself to Adonis. Does anyone remember this artical or have the formulas. If this one maybe another one. I know there has been reasearch done on this, I had one formula based on the thickness of your wrist. Anyway, anyone?     | ||

I can't remember exactly -- All I remember is that that your calves and your upper arms are supposed to measure the same. ------------------ Copyright � 2001 TheMachine Company, Inc. | ||

Fitfossil from the women's board had a similiar post a couple days ago. She found a symmetry table at this web site. http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Field/4992/weights.html Hope that helps. | ||

Wasn't Adonis a mythical figure? How do you measure him? Maybe it was some statue of him? I seem to remember that it was Michelaangelo's David that they measured, but I could be wrong. | ||

Thanks for the site!!!! It was Adonis they measured. The statue was supposed to show what the perfect male body was. I think by todays standards his waist would be to thick. | ||

All I remember is that the neck, upper arms, and calves are supposed to be similar in size. ------------------ | ||

I have that formula. They would take your wrist measurement multiply by a certain number, that would be your arms....they did that to your hips, knees, ankles etc... ------------------ | ||

There is a website out there that has the sizes of many of the various classical figures - taken from statues from different time periods. I remember reading about it when studying art history. The greeks generally thought a good looking muscular figure was to have a more athletic build - a thicker kneck and chest, smaller arms. big upper legs, small calves. generally considered a wrestler/grappler's build. kind of barrel chested. the romans then changed and it is very similar to Michelangelo's David. as for what the measurements were, I don't recall - I'm at work, I can break out my art history books when I get home - or you could just search the net. ------------------ | ||
