This is kind of cool...
Matt Marshall - author of How To Build A Classic Physique, has a section in his book that actually shows you EXACTLY what stats and measurements you need to achieve in order to get a "classic physique."
What is a "classic physique?"
But basically it's a lean, muscular and athletic physique like the athletes and bodybuilders of long ago. NOT like today's bloated bodybuilders who can barely get up a flight of stairs without hacking up a lung.
Anyway, if you want to get a classic physique Matt has a formula for figuring out how much muscle you need to gain or how much fat you need to lose to achieve the classic ideal.
Here is is:
Step #1) Measure your wrist.
Step #2) Add 10 inches to your wrist measurement to get your ideal arm size.
Step #3) Double the result from step #2, and then subtract 2 inches to get your ideal waist size.
So... if your wrist measures 7 inches around in Step #1, then your ideal arm size will be 17 inches. (7 +10= 17).
If we double that (17x2 = 34) and then subtract 2 inches (34-2) we get 32 inches.
So if your wrist measures 7 inches around, you need to strive for a 17 inch arm paired with a 32 inch waist to achieve what's known as a "classic physique."
Pretty cool, eh? Definitely gives you a "hard target" to work for.
