| Ideal Body Proportions Here's the complete "Ideal" body proportions table. I'm not sure what the original source is, but I believe it may have been M&F: INSTRUCTIONS To use this chart first divide your bodyweight by your height. This will give your weight per inch of height. When this is determined select the figure in the far left column that is closest to yours. Then, follow the figures straight across to learn your ideal proportions. Women bodybuilders may have to adjust measurements in the area of hips, waist, and chest depending on build. * Measure yourself every three months. * Check in the mirror to make sure that your muscles are defined. * Also check to make sure your muscles have fullness, depth and pleasing contour. * Build proportionate strength and size. * Train regularly and follow a sensible diet.
