The thyroid gland is considered as one of the largest endocrine glands in the body. It is most often confused with parathyroid glands. It is found in the neck, below to the thyroid cartilage and at approximately the same level as the cricoid gland. The thyroid gland maintains how quickly the body uses energy, makes proteins, and controls how sensitive the body should be to other hormones. The gland produces two types of hormones in order to execute this process – triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxin (T4).

So what are your ideal body measurements and how can you workout to get the perfect body?

I am going to provide a few different methods for determining your ideal body measurements. I will use my own body as an example of how to use these methods to develop your own personal goals to build a perfect body. For reference below, I am 5’8″, 137lbs, 30.5″ waist, 41″ chest, 47″ shoulders.

A Bodybuilder’s Ideal Measurements

In my quest to determine ideal body measurements, I first started by evaluating what the ideal bodybuilder would look like. Bodybuilding legend Steve Reeves’ measurements are considered an ideal in the bodybuilding world. According to a calculator using this methodology, I would need to have a 50″ chest and 30″ waist.
