1. I’m gonna keep it a 100 with you. I have no idea lmao. I don’t measure it.

2. I’ve never figured out what my shoulder to waist ratio is

3. Last time I measured was at the end of my cut and it was 1.82 or 1.83 I don’t remember.
   I do lift weights.

4. Great, another measurement I have to lie about.

5. It this male version of that stupit 34 26 34 bs?

6. … um. Can you use a lamp as a measuring tape?

   … how about a chair?

7. Who tf measures themselves like that lmao

8. 2.16, the last I measured. Definitely wider in the shoulders now than I was before. And yes I lift.

9. So a 38 in chest should be 24 waist?

10. I do weightlifting. My waist is 28,5 cm and shoulders 52 cm (width, not circumference). Ratio 1,82.

    I don’t think anyone will get close to a 1,6 without any resistance training.

11. 113 to 89, probably lower number on waist by now, so 1,49.
    Yes i lift, but I’m still a beginner.

12. Dont know, dont care.

13. 🤷🏻‍♂️

14. Not sure I have a large v taper though

15. Don’t know don’t care

16. The only ratio I know matters is the width of your arms when outstretched to the height of your body, which in most people is very close to even.

    Which means the distance from one set of fingertips to the other when you have your arms stretched out wide in front of you is roughly even to the distance from the top of your head to your toes.

17. Oh, *research* shows this. I’d better take it seriously.

    Ideal for what though?

18. I have no idea how to measure what you’re describing lmao. And yes I lift.

19. Bruh, how the fuck are you supposed to even measure that by yourself? Trying to do that would just scrunch up your shoulders and mess up the result.

20. How do you measure your shoulders? Dont really feel like asking a friend to do it for me.

21. I will never care about this ratio or measurement.

22. Shoulder:38
    Waist:27
    Yes, Ik I’m skinny
