Golden Ratio

My theoretical "golden ratio" (aka - ideal) proportions based upon Steve Reeves & other stuff.

Snagged from John Romaniello:  http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/how_to_look_freakin_awesome

Base measurements
Wrist:  7.0"
Waist:  31.0" (estimating, based upon previous states)
Knee:  14.0"

calculated numbers (how much I need to increase to get there)
Arm:  17.625" (+1.125)
Calf:  17.625" (+2.625) - yes, I have scrawny calves
Neck:  17.625" (1.875) - neck similarly skinny
Shoulder:  50.0" (+2.0)
Thigh:  24.5" (+0.0)
Chest:  46.5" (+3.5) [not mentioned, my goal is waist * 1.5]

So, yeah, lots of work required.  More food!

    I find that waist times 1.4 is often enough when you consider how much upper pec thickness required to reach 50" shoulder measurement, giving you a chest goal closer to 43.5

    I actually had 1.4xWaist for my chest goal originally, but then I realized that I am not satisfied with my chest as it is. Thus, the higher number.
