Ideal Body Measurements Calculator: What Are Your Ideal Proportions?

What are the ideal proportions for the male physique? Is there such thing as “ideal” proportions? Bodybuilding legend Steve “Hercules” Reeves (pictured right) thought so. In his book Building The Classic Physique The Natural Way, Steve wrote about his ideal muscle to bone ratios. These ratios were used to work out your ideal shape based on some of your body measurements.

This calculator is based on the formula Steve created. In order to calculate your “ideal” body measurements you’ll need:

1. Height
2. Wrist site
3. Ankle size
4. Head size (measure around at forehead height)
5. Pelvis size (the widest part of your pelvis)
6. Knee size

You can get these measurements from using a tape measure to measure each body part.

This tool only shows your “ideal” measurements using Steve’s formula, they are not always 100% accurate, and are meant only as a guide to good proportions.
