Grecian Ideal

I've heard in passing about something called the Grecian Ideal for body measurements. Any idea how to figure this out?

Haha, according to the Greeks I could add some size to everything, but my calves are too big!

Okay, I have big calves compared to... everything else. But I still didn't expect this.

You could also apply "The Golden Ratio" as well

My waist is too big (well, I've always know that ). But otherwise I'm pretty right on with everything else. According to this calculation, I need to lose about 40 lbs to get to the ideal. I disagree with that... I think I have about 20-25 lbs to lose.

Strange. According to the little program from TheMM's link that I should have a 26-inch waist! That's almost 4 inches smaller than mine, and my BMI is ideal. I concluded that I have a very thin wrists... (unless my conversion from cm to inches has errors...)

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drobson207.htm At the bottom there are two calculators, one for Grecian Ideal and one for Steve Reeves ideal.

Hope that's useful...
