rule of thumb for body proportion
just wondering if there was any chart/ rule of thumb comparing body parts to body parts (proportional)
Example: i once read that your calves should be very close to your bicep measurements ( both flexed).
I thought that was pretty cool when i read that and was hoping to find more general rules as such.
It gives people an idea what body parts are lacking as far as size goes anyways .
Thanks

One of the biggies (expanding on what you said) is that neck, calves and bis should ideally be the same.

If you find anything let me know. I know about the calf, neck, arm measurement and I remember someone telling me your forearms should be a certain percentage of your arm measurement.
I also remember someone telling me if you take a yardstick going straight down from your chest to your quads, the arch of your quads should match the peak of your chest.
I did a search on the web to try and find more info and I can't find anything anywhere.

Here's two that I've come across in the past:
1. (From John McCallums)
6-1/2 times your wrist gives chest girth
85% of chest gives hips
70% of chest gives waist
53% of chest gives thigh girth
37% of chest gives neck
36% of chest gives upper arm
34% of chest gives calves
29% of chest gives forearms
2. (source unknown...someone gave me a clipping from a magazine of this...looks like Ironman maybe? Def not flex or m&f)
waist: proportionate to height (whatever that means)
upper arm: one-half of waist
forearm: one-half of waist less 1 inch
thigh: three-quarters of waist
calf: one-half of waist less 1 inch
neck: one-half of waist plus 1 inch
chest: one and one-thirds times waist.
