upper arm: × chest
calf: × chest
forearm: × chest. You can measure your wrist just above the bone that protrudes on the little
finger side of your wrist (the styloid process of the ulna), i.e., on the elbow
side, as McCallum advised, or just below (on the hand side). If taken below
that styloid process, your wrist girth will likely be a little less than what it
is when measured above the bone, and so produce a slightly reduced set of
muscular girths. Be consistent with how you measure your wrist, and all
your other girths.. Not everyone will neatly fall into the set of measurements produced by this
formula because it assumes that wrist size directly correlates with bone size
throughout the body. With many people this is not so. Also, many people
have at least one body part that responds better than does the rest of the
body, producing at least one measurement an inch or so bigger than the
projected one(s) or, conversely, a measurement or a few that fall behind the
projected girths.. Some people have a lower-body that has a bone structure bigger than their
upper-body—ankle and knee measurements that are significantly bigger
than their wrist girths, proportionately speaking. Some people are the other
way around. If the difference between upper- and lower-body structure is
striking, at least for an appearance-first bodybuilder, care has to be given to
prevent the musculature differences from becoming exaggerated and putting
the physique way out of proportion.. Using the McCallum formula, a -inch wrist will produce a chest of .
inches, hips of ., waist of ., thigh of ., neck of ., flexed upper arm
of ., calf of . and a flexed forearm of .. At a height of '" this deve-
lopment will come out at around pounds (solid but not ripped). Such a
development, for a typical man, is terrific going.. ese wrist-related targets are not presented as limits or ceilings, but as
guidelines. Many of you will be able to exceed these targets, but before you
can even think of exceeding them you have to get to them in the first place.. Compute your own set of girths using the McCallum formula. Focus on
achieving only those girths until you have actually got them. Only then,
