Have you ever wondered how we all can spot a person that just looks better? We can even recognize other shapes – a building or a sculpture that just looks ‘right’? All people have an inherent ability to recognize beauty when they see it, but few have ever stopped and tried to describe and measure it.

There is a specific set of measurements and ratios that can tell you what the perfectly proportioned body looks like. Classic Greek and Roman sculptors like Leonardo da Vinci figured out these proportions a long time ago but over time, the concept has disappeared.

The 3 measurements you need to know to determine your ideal proportions are as follows:

1) Height

2) Waist

3) Shoulders

Research done on human anatomy, classic art sculpture, and the psychology of attraction tells us that there is a specific body shape and size that people will find most attractive and pleasing to look at. People that are close to this ideal size are generally treated more favorably, because we live in a society that is driven by beauty and perfection. Given the physical and social benefits of a perfectly proportioned body, aren’t you curious to know what your specific ideal size and shape is, and how to get it?

Starting with your height measurement, each person will have an ideal waist measurement and ideal shoulder measurement that equal your perfect body proportions. These are not up for debate. Scientific research indicates women will find a man most attractive when his proportions approach these ideal measurements. Most people have no idea what these measurements are or how to achieve them.

To start, you need to know where you are now compared to what your ideal is. Once you know your starting point you can determine how to go about getting to where you want to be. The fitness industry has always been striving for the perfectly proportioned look. However, until now nobody has managed to pin down what this “look” is, how to measure it, and how to get it.

I’ve created a workout that is based on bringing you to your specific ideal body shape starting with your current measurements. This specific and defined goal is the best way I have found to formulate an effective workout strategy that gets you to where you want to be.

Forget just doing weights to get big, or doing cardio to burn fat, I’m talking about a specific workout routine to build your body into its perfect form. To get bigger only in the right places and lose inches where you need to. This routine is called the Adonis Index Workout

John Barban is the Author of the Adonis Index Workout, a specific method for building a guy’s body into its most attractive shape: the shape women find attractive and that creates social dominance with men.

If you are trying to lose weight but have been unsuccessful so far, check to see if you are making any of these common mistakes.

1. Eating Too Often – it is a commonly held belief that eating multiple small meals each day is a good way to lose weight. But this only works if the meals are SMALL! If each of these so called ‘small meals’ start to creep up in calories and start to get larger you are never going to lose any weight. I suggest eating less meals per day. This way you have more chance of having a satisfying meal and less opportunities to over do it.

2. Not Doing Resistance Exercise – many people still think ‘cardio’ type workouts will burn more fat. This is incorrect as research has shown that higher intensity intervals will burn more fat. Also, higher intensity workouts and resistance training workouts build and maintain muscles, which keeps your metabolism rolling along. Traditional ‘Cardio’ type workouts can’t build muscle and will not burn as many calories as higher intensity intervals. A circuit workout of whole body exercises will get your heart rate up, and works all the muscles of your body is the most efficient way to burn fat and build and tone muscles.

3. Snacking – Typical ‘snack’ foods can have way more calories than you think. Before you know it you can be consuming more calories in a ‘snack’ than in one of your meals.

4. Not Eating Enough Fruits and Vegetables – Fruits and Veggies take up lots of space in your stomach and make you feel full without putting in too many calories. Eating lots of fruits and veggies can ensure that you will feel full without putting in too many calories.

5. Trying To Do It Alone – Research is indicating that the people you socialize with will have an enormous impact on you reaching your fitness and nutrition goals. Social support is probably the single most important factor to staying on a good workout and nutrition plan. Try to recruit a good workout partner or two to stay on track with your workouts. Also be aware of the friends and family who seem to always sabotage your nutrition habits. Ask them to politely support you and not pressure you to break your plan.

These are the most common problems that get in the way of weight loss success. When a potential client asks me how to lose weight, the first thing I do is check to see how many of these mistakes they are making. I’d say nine times out of ten they are making all of them, and they don’t even realize it! Taking action on each one will put you on the right path to lasting weight loss.

Guys have a strong psychological preference for female beauty because an attractive body is a sign of fertility (this is just the scientific explanation for why we find hot women so damn attractive).

When it comes to what women find attractive we have been lead to believe that they focus less on physical attraction and more on things like earning potential, trustworthiness and commitment. This isn’t entirely accurate as you will see.

This idea that women don’t find physical attractiveness important only applies to women seeking long term partners to settle down with a raise a family. Instead other factors as I mentioned above that promote stability are higher up on her list. But how important are they? And how much can a woman really deny her instincts?

Women notice men with fit muscular bodies whether they admit it or not. Women like a muscular physically fit man because subconsciously she understands that it takes effort and energy to maintain such a look. Subconsciously her mind is telling her that by choosing him as a mate her offspring will benefit from his vigor. This is just core primal instinct at work.

I’m sure if you went out today and asked a dozen women why they are attracted to a guy with a fit body they probably wouldn’t have any answer beyond: “I don’t know, he just looks good!” Well I’m just showing you the scientific reason why she thinks so.

The Trade off…

It is also a generally held belief that women are stuck in a ‘trade off’ position when it comes to choosing a man to have a sex with whenever the urge comes up, compared to choosing a man to settle down and have a long term relationship with, with the goal of raising children.

For a fun and sex only based relationship, women will be more likely to choose a man based on physical appearance, whereas in a long term partner she will be looking for other traits like commitment and ability to provide for children. The trade off comes in at this point because the look of a man that she is interested in for a short term sexual relationship is also the look of a guy who typically is not interested in a long term commitment and doesn’t need to work to get sex. I’m sure you know people that fit into these descriptions perfectly.

The ideal situation for a woman looking for a long term relationship would be to land a man with the looks and body of the typical “fun and sex guy” who also has the psychological “long term relationship type guy” characteristics as well. But there aren’t too many guys who fit this mold. I don’t know about you , but I don’t know too many guys who purposely choose to settle down with one woman if they can have more.

This is the catch 22 for women, because men who have the looks and body to attract women for short term sexual relationships can have as many of these relationships as they want. Unless raising a family is a high priority for a man like this, there really isn’t any incentive for him to pursue a long term sexual exclusive relationship with any one particular woman because he knows he can always have another. This is simply a law of supply and demand. How’s that for a completely unromantic way of describing sexual relationships?!

The instinct to be with a muscular man is partly due to the woman’s subconscious desire to have her offspring inherit his muscular traits as well. Even the ability to build muscle from exercise is an inherited trait.

I’m not trying to say that women want to sleep with muscular guys so they can give birth to the incredible hulk. What I am showing you is the reason why being in shape and having a muscular body does matter and how it is rooted deep in a woman’s subconscious.

This might sound like a bunch of science mumbo jumbo, but you can see examples of these animalistic instincts in our daily lives.

I’m just showing you what drives our actions. We still have very basic instincts driving our sexual desire and a strong healthy body is definitely desirable to women weather they admit it or not.

This means one of your first orders of business should be hitting the gym with the right program like the Adonis Index Workout to start building your body to its fullest potential and attract any woman you want. It’s really up to you, do you want to be an object of desire to all women, or the safe alternative she wants to settle down with!?

BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It’s a quick and easy reference guide for researching and categorizing health and disease risk factor with body fatness. It’s very simple to use because a researcher or health care provider only needs to know your height and weight.

The BMI chart was created over 100 years ago as a way of charting body ‘fatness’ or ‘thinness’. With the influence of Ancel Keys (visionary scientist way ahead of his time) BMI became a prominent tool in the 1970s for assessing population health risks.

There is a criticism that the BMI doesn’t account for different ‘frame’ sizes of people (endomorphs and ectomorphs) or athletes who have built up their muscles to a much larger degree than the regular population. Both of these criticisms seem to be weak as true ectomorphic or endomorphic people are very rare . . . in other words, for most of the population the BMI works just fine, and that was the point in the first place.

The athlete argument doesn’t hold much water either, as they represent a very small percentage of the population and many of them use steroids and other drugs that artificially elevate their lean body mass. In other words, the BMI was never meant to be applied to people taking steroids and GH.

So what about ‘natural’ athletes and bodybuilders who don’t use drugs but just build lots of muscles? Surely they wouldn’t be in the ‘normal’ BMI range . . . right? Maybe not!

My bodyweight fluctuates between 180 – 183lbs. In both cases I am still within the normal BMI range. And this is where the argument about athletes being in the ‘overweight’ BMI range because of increased muscle mass falls apart for me.

I don’t think I look too small or lacking in muscle development. In fac, I’ve spent the past 15 years trying to build as much muscle as I can . . . and I still fall within the ‘normal’ BMI range. If anyone was a candidate for being ‘overweight’ due to muscle mass I thought surely I would be it . . . but nope, I’m still ‘normal’.

So the argument that athletes can build enough muscle to somehow push them out of the normal BMI range seems a bit wonky to me (unless of course they are using steroids or were true endormorphs to begin with . . . which is an exceedingly small portion of the population). I don’t think I could get much bigger, nor do I think I need to be much bigger.

The problem people have with the BMI is not the chart itself, but what the chart means to them. The chart is meant to show ‘fatness’ and categorize it as normal or abnormal on both the high and low end. The key word here is ‘normal’.

What should be normal for most human bodies and what has become normal in modern western societies are two different things.

The BMI chart shows what should be normal, not what is currently considered normal.

If most of the population is overweight (according to the BMI chart) the error in logic could be that the population is right and the BMI chart is wrong.

I think many people have a sharp emotional reaction to things like the BMI chart because it categorizes you in a way that feels discriminatory and prejudicial. Of course there is no emotion behind the BMI chart, it’s just a mathematical equation . . . but there is some thought and research into it, it’s not just a random idea, so you know there is some validity to the category you’ve been placed in according to the chart. And this is why it bothers people. If there is some good reason why you are categorized as ‘overweight’ then you’re faced with the following dilemma about your belief in the normalcy of your current body size:

Either the chart is wrong, or you are wrong.

It’s much easier to dismiss the chart as being inaccurate and not useful for your specific body shape and size or whatever excuse you like, than it is to accept the fact that perhaps you’re in fact simply overweight.

The final point on this topic is the view from being in the normal category vs the overweight or obese categories.

I used to be much heavier than I am now and I used all the same excuses explaining away the BMI as antiquated and outdated and didn’t account for the mountains of muscle I had built over the years yadda yadda. In reality, I was just fat.

Once I went through my cut down and got rid of all the excess weight I ended up right where the BMI chart predicted me to be at the high end of the normal range . . . which makes perfect sense as I’ve built as much muscle as I can without drugs.

If I’m currently in the normal category, and I’ve spent my whole life trying to build muscle, and all of my measurable health markers are in very good shape, and I’m happy with the look and shape of my body, and I have a golden Adonis Index ratio . . . then how is it possible for me or anyone with roughly my frame (which is average) to actually be in the overweight category without simply having more fat mass on their body and subsequently looking worse than I do right now?

In other words, if some people suggest the BMI cutoff for ‘overweight’ is too low, then what does that make me in these pictures? Underweight?

Or is it that people who don’t like the category the chart puts them in have an immediate reaction of dismissing the chart as being wrong instead of heeding the guidance it provides to lose some weight. This of course is cognitive dissonance at its finest.

For anyone who is in the ‘normal’ range the BMI chart seems to make perfect sense. It seems to me that if more people were in the normal range there wouldn’t be any argument at all about the BMI chart. With that said I think it’s entirely possible to be in the ‘overweight’ category and in perfect health and look good. But I think this designation applies to a rare group of people who have the ability to build very impressive muscle mass drug free. For the majority of the population the standard BMI chart still seems to be just fine.

If you go online you can find many metabolic rate calculators that will estimate the number of calories you will burn in a day. This however becomes abstract and doesn’t seem to feel real to many people. I suggest that we look at our daily energy needs on an hourly basis instead of on a daily basis.

For example: I went online and found a few metabolic rate calculators and determined that my estimated daily energy burn is approximately 1920 calories per day, or 80 per hour.

If I eat something that has 80 cals in it then I know it takes my body 1 hour to burn that off. This seems to be a simpler way to view energy burning and eating. This also makes it more real.

If I have something to eat that has 500 cals in it I know that it will take my body over 6 hours to burn that off. You can see that it doesn’t take long to fill up an entire days worth of energy burning in just a few small meals.

If you want to eat a big dinner you have to budget for it by not eating much before and/or after that dinner. This way you’ve taken some calories out of your energy bank knowing that you will put them back in during the big dinner. This is the only way that weight loss really works.

Eating a big dinner and telling yourself that you’ll work it off at a later date will never work. It’s no different than maxing out your credit card and telling yourself that you’ll pay it all off next month. This never happens.

Instead you end up paying the minimum balance of interest off forever and never manage to reduce the principle balance of the credit card.

This is the exact same situation with weight gain and weight loss. Let’s say you gain 10 pounds and tell yourself you’ll diet and exercise it off later. The 10 pounds represents the maxed out credit card. Now if you eat at your BMR you won’t lose any weight, you will simply maintain your weight with the added 10 pounds. In order to get rid of your extra weight you need to make an even bigger payment of your weight debt my under eating long enough to allow your body to burn the 10 pounds off.

This is why it seems so impossible to lose weight or pay off a credit card.

Making the minimum payment on a credit card will never reduce the balance and just covers the interest.

Eating just enough to match your BMR on a daily basis will keep you at your current weight and never allow your body to burn the extra calories needed to get rid of the stored fat.

It’s a bit ironic that the two things in your life that require a budget (money and calories) are the two things that most people in North America are terrible at managing.

Losing weight is no different than getting out of debt. You have to ‘budget’ your calories just like your money. If you never pay off the credit cards you’ll never be out of debt. Likewise if you never pay off your calorie debt you’ll never lose weight.

The trick is finding a way to budget calories and pay off your calorie debt quickly and easily.

If you’re not satisfied with your position in life or expect more from yourself, your career or your relationships then you clearly have to make some sort of change. Doing the same things that you’ve done up until now will only get you what you already have. If what you have isn’t enough then you must demand more of yourself and everything around you. So how do you start?

The first step to a really changing your life is changing your body. The leading man always looks like a leading man. And believe it or not everyone around you will treat you differently simply based on how you look and present yourself.

Imagine that you were going for an interview for a new position that you really want. Now imagine that it comes down to you and one other guy who is equally qualified, but that other guy is in significantly better shape than you and he just looks like more of a leading man than you do. Which person do you think will get the job?

In most cases the guy who looks the part will get the benefit of the doubt, which means he’s going to get the job, the girl, the money and whatever else he wants. This is partly because he believes he deserves it, and partly because other people also believe he deserves it. It might not sound fair, but this is the way the world works. This is called the ‘halo effect’.

Whenever you’re ready to accept this you can start using this to your advantage and start getting more of what you want in any area of your life.

The first step is taking care of your body. Sure clothes and presentation is important. But the nicest suit on earth wrapped around a sloppy out of shape body doesn’t hide the fact that you can’t take care of yourself.

Getting in shape is the single most important and powerful thing you can do to start affecting real and lasting changes in your career and your relationships because it causes both an intrinsic and extrinsic change.

As you build a better body you will gain more confidence and exude this confidence (whether you know it or not). This will have an effect on everyone that interacts with you. They will start giving you the benefit of the doubt because of what they are seeing.

People judge each other within the first 2 second that they lay eyes on you, so you better be something to look at in those first 2 seconds.

In that time they will make a decision about your ability to take care of yourself, how much confidence and respect you seem to have, how intelligent they think you are, and whether or not they even want to interact with you.

All of this happens in a couple seconds, and this happens way before you ever have a chance to say a word. It’s your job to make your first physical impression a good one. And that is done by building a perfectly proportioned body.

This is no mystery and you and I both know the look of the leading man. It’s not too big, and not too thin, it is in fact the proverbial ‘just right’ size. Believe it or not there is actually scientific evidence for the ideal muscular size of a man’s body and I’ve put it all together into a system I call the Adonis Index Workout.

The end result is the Adonis Effect.

The attention Adhesion theory dictates that people will have a hard time taking their eyes off of two things. 1) A goal (such as an attractive woman) or 2) a rival/threat, such as another alpha male who could steal your attractive woman “goal” away from you. You have evolved to basically stare at one of these two things in any social setting, and have a hard time looking away from either one of them. This comes from an evolutionary process of seeking a viable mate and then guarding that mate.

In other words, you’re built to look for a hot woman, to want to have sex with her, and then to want to defend her from other men who are looking at her. So you will be fluctuating between looking at a girl you’re interested in having sex with, and looking at other guys who you think are competing for this same girl’s attention. Sounds like a typical night out at a club to me. Incidentally from my days working part time as a bouncer to help pay for university I’d say this is how 90% of all bar fights start!

As intelligent and sophisticated as we think we are, people still do most things based purely out of instinct. You are still heavily controlled by your instincts weather you like it or not. Understanding this and learning how to use it to your advantage is what can take your game to the next level.

You are genetically evolved to stare at attractive people. A woman will stare at an attractive man because she is programmed to want to have sex with him. A better looking, muscular, fit man is a signal that he is healthy and will be a preferred partner and produce superior genetic offspring. Likewise with women, men are conditioned to stare at beautiful women. A woman’s beauty is a key signal for genetic superiority fertility and the ability to produce healthy offspring. Now I’m not saying that you should want to have sex only for reproduction. I’m simply pointing out the reason why we happen to stare at good looking members of the opposite sex.

So why do guys get caught looking at other guys. The only other thing a guy will stare at as much as the girl he desires is another man that he is threatened by. I don’t mean directly threatened like they are going to fight, I mean threatened like this other guy is going to steal his girl, or his potential girl away. This is also a programmed instinct. You have evolved to pay close attention to any potential threat or competition in the form of another man who could win over the girl you are interested in. The key point here is that you will only perceive the other guy as a threat if he is in good shape and looks good. You know exactly what I am talking about. If some 140 lb scrawny weakling of a guy who is poorly dressed walks past the girl you have been eyeing in the bar you probably won’t worry too much that he is going to sweep her off her feet. But if a 200lb muscular sharply dressed Adonis walks by her, then you immediately feel pangs of jealously and will most likely end up staring at him more than her.

Don’t ever get caught doing this!

In a social setting when there is an attractive girl around, do you catch yourself staring at other guys who are close by or interact with her? If so then you’re viewing him as the alpha male which makes you the subordinate, or beta male. You can’t get caught doing this because everyone present will pick up on it including the attractive girl you are interested in. If you find that you are constantly catching stares from other guys when you’re near good looking women, then you know they are viewing YOU as an alpha male.

Alpha males know they can have women and therefore don’t get caught up staring at women they are attracted to as much as beta males. Alpha males also don’t get caught staring at other males because they rarely feel that other men are any real competition to them. Beta males on the other hand get caught staring at both attractive women and other well built men. So even if a woman is looking at a beta guy, but that guy happens to be looking at you, he is subconsciously telling her that you are more dominant than him simply by looking at you.

Women pick up on all of this and can easily identify who the confident alpha males are. Women will feel more attraction for the males who spend less time looking at them for this very reason. This is how avoidance and relative indifference to a woman in a social setting can cause her to be attracted to you. You are simply showing her that you are socially dominant.

Now if you can only choose between being one of these two (alpha or beta), I’ll bet any money you would rather be the alpha than the beta, and it’s totally within your power to decide. You can choose to dress well, you can work on your moves and the way you approach women in social settings, and most of all you can build an alpha body that women will want, and men will be jealous of. In the end you want her eyes on you instead of any other guy. You even want the other guys looking at you because that is subconscious indicator to her that you are in fact the MAN.

John Barban is the author of the Adonis Index Workout. A program designed to build the perfect male body.

Women find muscular men more sexually attractive.

Seems obvious, but it is also proven by research. Time and time again, social psychology research shows that women will choose more muscular men for short term sexual partners, and have sex with them faster without a long dating period. They will also have sex with these types of men without developing an emotional attraction to them first.

In a study published in 2007, Frederick et al the researchers discovered that the men who were rated more muscular with less body fat were also the men who had more sexual partners.

This may seem unbelievably obvious to you, but for some reason there is a notion that looks and the condition of your body don’t play a role in attracting women, and that looks have nothing to do with your ability to have sex with good looking women.

Despite this idea, this research is proof that the way your body looks absolutely makes a difference in the amount of sex you will have, and the amount of different women you can have sex with.

In other words, guys with the right ‘type’ of muscularity can have sex with more women, more often, and less physically attractive men are rarely chosen by women for short term sexual relationships (more muscle = more flings).

If she’s looking for a hair raising blast in a sports car, and you look like a practical safe station wagon, then it doesn’t matter what you say or do, she isn’t going to be interested.

The research by Frederick et al shows that guys with the right muscular build get more girls, they have more one night stand’s, and they even have sex with more women that are currently in relationships with other guys.

That’s right, if you’ve got the right look, even married, engaged, or otherwise ‘attached’ women still want a piece of you, and they are perfectly alright with ‘cheating’ on their significant other to have a taste of what you’ve got to offer.

This effect is all dependent on having the right type of muscular body, as the Frederick research illustrated that an overly bulky bodybuilder style build was not as attractive as a body with properly proportioned muscles. Luckily, getting the proper proportions is simply a matter of applying the right workout program like the Adonis Effect, which is designed to build your body into its most ideal attractive shape. So what are you waiting for, get to the gym, and start building the body that women want now.

Women are attracted to a fit and muscular body because it is a sign of masculinity and vitality. However there is an upper limit to how much muscle a guy can have and how hyper masculine a guy can get until it starts to turn off more women than it attracts.

For things like money and social status there is never a ‘too much’ point. However, for things like muscle mass there is definitely a too much point. Women reported having a lower attraction and less desire for overly masculine and over muscled men, you know the big overstuffed bodybuilder types. They assume these men are less trustworthy, more volatile, selfish, impulsive, threatening and dangerous. Scaring women away is definitely not the look that most men are after. So now we know that too big and too masculine isn’t going to work. But too small and too feminine obviously isn’t the answer either.

A very feminine small looking man isn’t really going to attract too many women either, as she will view him as weak and submissive.

So what is the answer?

There is a look that is ideal; it’s not too big, it’s not too small. It’s not the ultra masculine male, and it’s not the effeminate metro sexual skinny look. It is in fact a measureable shape and size that the greatest number of women will find attractive.

This look isn’t the exact middle of the road body either as that would not excite any woman, after all ordinary or average, or mediocre never will be desirable. The look and size is closer to the higher end of muscle mass and masculinity. But it straddles a fine line of not pushing it too far. Knowing how far to go, and where to stop is the key to building the body all women desire. And I’m not making this up, you probably already are relating to what I am saying and there is hard research to back it up. Just read on.

When women were shown pictures of different sizes of men, women always rated male figures that were classified as “Brawny”, “Built” and “Toned” as more sexually desirable than figures that were categorized as “Slender”, “Typical”, or “Chubby”. Women rated men with moderate muscularity as the most attractive, rather than the highest or lowest muscular level. In other words, muscularity up to a point is attractive, but past that point it becomes unattractive, with the highest and lowest levels being the least attractive. Women also chose a more muscular body as the one they were most likely to have short term sexual relationships with.

Check this out…

When surveyed women reported that their most recent short term sex partners were more muscular and more athletic than their other recent non-short term sex partners. Even more interesting is that they dated these more muscular guys for a shorter period of time before gave it up, on average 1 week vs 12 weeks! How is that for results!

In other words, if you’ve got the body these women want, you’re going to get them in bed by the end of the week, if not sooner. If you don’t have the body, you’ve got about 3 months of dating and ‘getting to know you’ stuff to do before you get some play. Can you say “waste of time?!”

Another bonus for you guys who don’t want to deal with clingy girls and messy ‘break ups’ is the fact that girls who had sex with the more muscular men right away felt less emotional attachment to them!

This is pretty hard core proof that when you strip away the thoughts of long term relationships and raising a family, and marriage and all of those other things, women at their core are just like men. They just want to have sex! And lots of it!

They are subconsciously attracted to men with muscular fit bodies and want to have sex with them now, immediately, if not sooner! AND, with this simple desire to have sex, the follow through does not require emotional attachment or any great degree of romanticism. Pure raw physical attraction, that’s it!

For all you guys who don’t think women want to throw down as soon as they see a guy they are attracted to, think again. It might not be immediate within the first hour, but certainly by the end of that day or at the second encounter it is definitely realistic. So your next order of business should be getting the right body shape pronto!

The look that will get these results is a precise shape and size that any man can achieve through the right workout program and paying a bit of attention to his eating habits. It is actually a very attainable look for almost any man. This is what 99% of everybody that goes to the gym is working for; the look that will draw people to you, the look that will land every woman’s eyes on you. I’m talking about the golden ratio and the perfect Adonis Index Score.
