Measurements

[bigdho]

well I guess it would be more of a cemitery question. Ive been doing research to find out what kind of measurements to have to be cemetrical if you are 6'4. I can find the answers for men 5'4-5'9 but cant find anything for tall bodybuilders. I want to find out what measurements I need to achive to have a cemitric body, anybody have a formula or a website??.....

Not sure, but Ferrigno is 6'5", measurements are: 58" (147 cm) chest, 23" (58 cm) arms, 29" (74 cm) thighs, 20" (51 cm) calves, 34" (86 cm) waist @ 290lbs

Halfaclue,
We are nearly identical in size. I have small legs too. I have had both knees scoped for torn cartilage, so i dont push legs to my fullest ability. I wont go past 315 (sets of 10 reps) on squats or deads, heavier weights will only wear on my knees more. Most people have to laugh when they see or ask for bench/squat/dead numbers. I bench more than i squat and deadlift.
lol,
corey

Lou's back is fucking HUGE, hence the 58" chest .... animal

I just hate training legs. My whole life I had gnenticlly good size legs and when I was 211 for the show last year I looked proportionate...right now I look a little top heavy but not to bad. Come septemeber i'm going to try and kick it up in the leg category for a show next June.

halfaclue,
Anymore i have a real basic leg routine that usually takes me less than an hour to complete and is doing a good job building my legs.

squats, straight leg deads, calve raises, extensions, and curls

You appear to have one big f'in chest.

 

[Lord_Suston]

Not a big chest but thick back, I need more calf and thighs

Is that a 52 "short"? LOL. All my suits are "short"...GRRR!

Good stats, though--lots of impressive bros in this thread. It's hard to measure up to a Ferrigno-type.

Now, if I can find my damned tape measure...
