What Is The Perfect Male Body Measurement?

May 12, 2010 by Chris Chew · Leave a Comment 

All of us instinctively know that a man is usually fit, healthy and attractive just by looking at his bodyshape. We all have the inherent ability to appreciate beauty when we see it, but few have tried to understand, describe and to measure it. I am talking about the measurements of an appealing, attractive and perfect male body.

You see, there exists a specific set of measurements and ratios that can calculate what the perfectly proportioned male physique is. Ancient master sculptors such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo had long figured out these proportions, but over time, the concept just faded away. The ideal male body measurement is superbly displayed in Michelangelo’s King David sculpture (left).

There are only three measurements you need to know to determine your ideal physical proportions and they are your height, shoulders and waist. Many of the research done on the human physique, classic art sculptures and the psychology of human attraction indicated to us that there is a specific body shape and size that people will find the most attractive and pleasing to look at.

It is psycholigically known that men who are close to this ideal body size and shape are generally treated more favorably in any societies. They get bigger salaries, bonuses, more business deals and of course, more pretty girls. Given the physical and social benefits of having a perfectly well proportioned male body, you should know what is your specific ideal perfect body size and shape and how to get it, right?

Everybody will have an ideal waist measurement and ideal shoulder measurement that correspond to their height that equal your perfect body proportions. This is sometimes referred to as The Golden Ratio. Scientific research has confirmed that women will find a man most attractive when his body proportions approach these ideal measurements. Unfortunately, most men have no inkling what these body measurements are and how to get them.

Do you want to know? Well,firstly you need to know what your measurements are right now compared to what your perfect ideal body shape is going to be. Once you know where to start, you can determine how to go about getting to where you want to be.

The health and fitness industry has always been striving for the perfectly proportioned look. However, nobody has managed to pin down what this “look” is all about, how to measure it, and how to get it until John Barban, author of The Adonis Index Workout designed a plan on bringing you to your specific ideally perfect body shape starting with your present male body measurements.

Forget about doing weights to get bigger muscles or long boring cardio exercises to lose weight and fat. The perfect male body should be carved out with specific exercises and the workout routine is different for everyone because the starting point of everybody is different.

This is about a specific workout routine to build your body into its most appealing perfect shape. The idea is to get bigger muscles only at the right places and lose inches where you need lose them so that you can get a proportionately shaped perfect male physique. This is the male body shape that women find attractive and men respect.

So find out what are your measurements now and then work towards getting the appealing perfect male body that everyone desires now.

Five Weight Loss Mistakes That You’re Probably Making!

May 5, 2010 by Matt McCullar · Leave a Comment 

I’ve personally lost over 60 pounds in one year, and I know how tough it can be to lose weight.

However, it astounds me that people are still making the same mistakes over and over that not only don’t help them lose weight, but they also end up gaining weight back.

So, I’m going to tell you the five things you should NEVER do when trying to lose weight.

1) They eat the wrong ‘weight loss foods’.

Fads are huge today in the dieting scene. There’s always the new magic bullet that will make people lose weight better than the last. If that were really true, we wouldn’t be overweight now!

2) They stray off the path.

You have no idea how annoying it is to see people say they want to lose weight, but wait ‘until tomorrow’ to start, or they take a day off… and end up taking a month off. Come on, do you want this or not?!

3) They loooove Television.

If you’re watching T.V. for more than an hour a day and are overweight, then I think I see the problem already. Honestly, we spend around 1/12th of our time watching T.V. and feeling like crap, being sickly and overweight. If you took out just thirty minutes of that Television and used it to lose weight, or heck, even just sleep, you’d be way more better looking!

4) They’ve got a million and a half excuses.

“Oh, but that guy weighs less than me because he’s naturally skinny. I saw him eating a doughnut one time.”

That’s all fine and dandy, but you’re leaving out the spinach, fish, broccoli, and fruit/veggies that guy chugs down to get that body you’re so jealous of. He puts in the work!

5) They’ll work on it ‘after they’ve done this other important task’.

I’m sure you have to feed your families and pay off debts – I mean, we all do. But you can make time. It wouldn’t take more than thirty to sixty minutes a day and you could achieve your weight loss goals and burn stomach fat and get that sexy six pack abs that you’ve been wanting.

Would you rather watch the same T.V. show that you watched a hundred times and already know what it’s about, or would you rather be working your way to getting a great set of abs?

The saying that “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” is completely in play here. It’s going to take continuous hard work if you want to burn fat off your body. Those people in the movies work hard for that body – it’s not something that comes from eating cookies all day

There truly isn’t a tomorrow. There is only today. If you put off important tasks forever, then you’ll soon see that your life has passed you by, and you’re still overweight and unhappy.
