CT you no longer have the priviledge to pm me!
Here are my stats(before I got sick) compared to Steve Reeves!
height: 6'4" 6'1"
weight: 243lb 215lb
shoulder breadth: 23 1/2" 23 1/2 in
neck: 16" 18 1/4 in
chest: 45" 52 in
waist: 35" 29 in
biceps: 18" 18 1/4 in
forearms: 14" 14 3/4 in
wrist: 7 1/2" 7 1/4 in
thigh: 27" 26 in
calf: 18" 18 1/4 in
ankle: 9 1/2" 9 1/4 in.
The problem is that you are comparing absolute measure. To have a decent idea of how you stack up proportion-wise you should use the measurements in relation to your height (that's what the original "ideal measure chart" did).
So Reeves ratios are:
Shoulders = 0.32 x height
Neck = 0.25 x height
Chest = 0.71 x height
Waist = 0.397 x height
Arm = 0.25 x height
Forearm = 0.2 x height
Thight = 0.36 x height
Calf = 0.25 x height
Since you are 6'4" or 76 inches (rounded to the nearest inch) to be comparable to Reeves your measures should be:
Shoulders = 0.32 x 76 = 24 2/5 (1" short)
Neck = 0.25 x 76 = 19" (3" short)
Chest = 0.71 x 76 = 54" (9" short)
Waist = 0.397 x 76 = 30" (5" too big)
Arm = 0.25 x 76 = 19" (1" short)
Forearm = 0.2 x 76 = 15 1/4" (1 1/4" short)
Thight = 0.36 x 76 = 27 3/5" (3/5" short)
Calf = 0.25 x 76 = 19" (1" short)
And that is *IF* the measure you gave us are accurate. However since you carry more fat than Reeves, chances are that if you leaned out you'd be even farther off.
Neck, chest and waist are WAY off. The other measures might only be 1" or so off... but consider that a gain of 1" on the upper arm requires around a 10-15lbs gain in bodyweight (according to Coach Poliquin who tested a zillion athletes).
