I found this on the web... yeah I know, don't believe everything you find floating in cyber space... but I'm curious, does this work for your body type?
it sort of works for mine I modify some of the measurements to match my actual chest size, but others seem accurate without this? Just wondering what other people think?
Parts Formula
[start with real wrist measurement!]
_______________________________
Chest = Wrist x 6.5 (6.3x6.5 = 40.95) 104cm actual = 77 cm
Hips = Chest x .85 (40.95x.85= 34.8) 88cm actual = 92cm
Waist = Chest x .70 (40.95x.7=28.66) 72cm actual = 65cm
Thigh = Chest x .53 (40.95x.53= 21.7) 55cm actual = 50cm [but if I use my real chest size this is 30.3x.53= 16.05) 41cm which IMO would be heaven!]
Neck = Chest x .37 (30.3x.37=11.2) 28cm actual = 30cm
Upper Arm = Chest x .36 (40.95x.36=14.74) 38cm actual = 25cm [but if I use my real chest size this is 30.3x.36= 10.9) 28cm!]
Calves = Chest x .34 (40.95x.34=13.92) 35cm which is what I am… [but if I use my real chest size this is 30.3x.34= 10.3) 26cm which IMO would be heaven!]
Forearms = Chest x .29 (40.95x.29=11.87) 30cm actual = 22cm [but if I use my real chest size this is 30.3x.29= 8.78) 22cm!]

Not 100% sure what info you are getting from this, is it a measure of what you could slim down to or what you could bulk up to?
