    proportions

    what are the ideal proportions?
    for example ive heard that you bicepts should be within 1" of you calf and that your forarms should be approx 2" smaller than your bicepts and so on...... does anyone know a) what im talking about and b) what the proportions should be for the whole body, as a ratio of one body part to another?

    I read that your arms,calves and neck should all be the same size.....
    But honestly I dont buy into that too much...

    Old school (Steve Reeves era) was that arms, calves and neck were all same measurments. There doesn't seem to be any rules for measurments anymore....just get as big as you can without regards to balance. You can see the opposite with the balance of guys like Narc, Carlos and Mr.Ment1on, there physiques have a balance of size and beautiful proportions. Being more old school I really appreciate that look more than some of these freaks now.
    Well I'm ramblin on....so Live Strong.....adios
