I measured myself today to find my WHR and WSR.
Waist 85
Hip 86
Shoulders 111
And worked out...
Whr – 0.98
Wsr – 1.3
My BMI is 25 (180cm,81kg)
How far off am I from the ideal measurements? I have some decent muscle on me but going for strength not size.
What are your measurements?
I have pretty small hips but this has pis*ed me off so im gonna go nuts on the cardio and nutrition.

Actual question: what are you talking about? That's not a snide comment or anything. I consider myself well-versed in general fitness information, but I have no idea what these acronyms mean. Can you elaborate? I'm interested in your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Well I was reading an article and it was saying the ideal measurements for waist to hip ratio (WHR) and waist to shoulder ratio (WSR).
Basically you measure the circumference of your waist/shoulders and divide it by the circumference of your hips.
It says on wiki that 0.9 is good for waist to hip.
and im not too sure about waist to shoulder ratio.
Its all about body composition. Im not an expert thats why i'm asking if anyone has measured themselves or knows more about it...

You might not get many responses here...these ratios sound like cosmetic factors that not many posters here tend to worry about, as opposed to strength, endurance and performance.

yea I know its to do with cosmetics but it also has a direct relationship to mortality rate apparently.
All good, just something I was having a look into.
