Josie Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 I can find charts/ratios for ideal body proportions for men, eghttp://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drobson207.htmbut I can't find any for women. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poos_n_wees Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Interesting in that link how it says that for perfect bodybuilding PROPORTIONS, your calves, arms and neck should all measure the same :think: I've a long way to go!I tried googling ideal female proportions/symmetry but got no hits as well. Mind you, I don't think any general formulas can really tell us how we should look.. I think I'd drive myself nuts trying to conform to it! :?What kind of look are you after? With judging in most BB comps, I guess the 'ideal' bodyshape depends on the category you're aiming for, eg. figure vs physique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josie Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I'm going for quite a muscular (but natural) look. My body has strange proportions as it is and I just wanted to try and keep it within an "ideal" range. Maybe I'm just being overly sensitive as I got teased for my broad shoulders whan I was a kid.I've only been training for a few months so it's not crucial right now anyhoo.
