lower body proportion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[amen4847]

1.How do you know if your lower body is too small for your upper body?
2.whats considered ok or acceptable in bodybuilding when comparing calve inches to arm inches?
3. Leg inches to upper body muscles?

I am 5'9 278 lbs with 16%-18% i think, abs are still visible (at least 4 of them lol). My arms are 20.5 in and my calves are 18 in. my legs are 27 in ( dont really know where to measure from, standing up and biggest part i guess) chest 56 in, shoulders are 60 in pretty wide . i know my legs need work but i need to know whats a good size to have when worrying about proportion to upperbody. dont criticize me too hard lol and lets keep in my i had a Quadriceps tendon tear 10 months ago, this athrophied my legs alot!!..

The inches don't matter. The judges won't be measuring you. It's what you look like that matters. Post a full length picture of yourself front and back so you can get useful feedback. I think that's the easiest way to get your body proportion question answered.

General rule of thumb is calves, arms and neck should be very clsoe in measurement.

I would use mirrors and pictures.... I have done 15 NPC shows and countless preps for people.. i have never used a tape measure or requested people send me measurements...

im 5-11 220. yr upper body is hella bigger than mine, but yr legs are only 3/4 in. bigger than mine.
having suggested yr lower needs to catch up, really, like alex and them say, it's all in how u appear. size doesnt always equate to symmetry.
