This calculator shows what your ideal measurements should be for men, according to the aesthetic standards of ancient Greece.

http://www.fitness.com/tools/greek_proportions/

Input your wrist size to get all your proportions.

I'll start with mine: my wrist is 6.5 inches so I get:

Chest Size: 42.3
Forearm Size: 12.3
Waist Size: 29.6
Thigh Size: 22.4
Hip Size: 35.9
Calf Size: 14.4
Biceps Size: 15.2
Neck Size: 15.6

Actual measurements:

Chest Size: 39
Forearm Size: 11.5
Waist Size: 32.5
Thigh Size: 22
Hip Size: 35.5
Calf Size: 14.5
Biceps Size: 12.8
Neck Size: 15

Looks like my legs and hips are spot on, waist a lil big, chest and arms need to buff up a lil bit. You guys can try.
