Just What Is the Adonis Index?

 

There exists in nature a specific ratio or proportion that people just happen to find naturally pleasing to the human eye.

It can be found in almost all forms of life, in art, in math and in science.

It can be found in the construct of a seashell, or creations by man such as the Great Pyramids or The Parthenon.

It is called The Golden Ratio.

In mathematics it is commonly referred to as the Fibonacci number, or the ratio of 1:1.6

When this ratio is applied to the human body, the authors of this workout call it the Adonis Effect.

Creators of this Workout have developed a formula for building an ideally proportioned body. They assert that women will find a man most attractive when his body is at its ideal shape and size. A guy who is closer to his ideal proportions will also enjoy the respect and admiration of other men, allowing him to climb the social ladder faster.

The formula they created measures three areas of the human body: a man's height, his shoulders and his waist. Using this as a starting point, they developed a workout plan to help a man reach his ideal shape.

They call it The Adonis Index.

Researchers claim to have developed a new fitness workout. 

Fitness experts John Barban and Brad Pilon have announced that they have come up with a way to measure and build the perfect male body. They claim to have come up with a way to to get bigger only in the right places and lose inches where you need to, in order to build the ideally proportioned male, and have called this system The Adonis Index Workout program.

"Research shows that women will find a man most attractive when his body is at its ideal shape and size" says co-creator of the program Brad Pilon. "A guy who is closer to his ideal proportions will also enjoy the respect and admiration of other men, allowing him to climb the social ladder faster."

Classic sculptors such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michaelangelo knew of and used these principles for centuries to create the greatest representations of the ideal male form. Over time, this concept has been forgotten. "We rediscovered the ratios of perfect proportions, and by applying them to modern exercise and physical attraction research, we developed the Adonis Index Workout", adds Brad Pilon.

The result is a mathematical equation that uses three measurements: his height, his shoulders ad his waist. They claim that they can develop a fitness program (the Adonis Index Workout) that will determine each man's ideal body proportions that make him the most attractive to women and more socially dominant. "We call the reaction people have to a guy who is approaching his ideal proportions the Adonis Effect" says author John Barban.

The Adonis Index Workout program consists of both weight lifting exercises and a diet plan that complements the weight training. Smaller sized meals but more of them, spread out evenly throughout the day is the norm.

The Adonis Index Workout Program 

Review

This bodybuilding program is based on what is called "The Golden Ratio", which is defined as a specific ratio or proportion that people just happen to find pleasing to the eye and can be found in almost all forms of life.

It is based on the Fibonacci ratio of 1:1.6. When this Ratio is applied to the human body, the authors call it "The Adonis Effect". This proportioned body allegedly is the ideal shape that all women find attractive.

Therefore, the goal of this program, called "The Adonis Workout." program is to increase the appeal of the opposite sex.

This program almost overwhelms you with over 1000 pages of instruction. After the first two manuals, which go into the explanation and the raison d'etre of the program, comes the heart of the system.

It consists of 3 workout programs along with a diet plan to match. They are called the Burn Workout and Diet plan, the Build and Burn Workout and Diet Plan, an the Build Workout and Diet plan, depending on where and how close to the Adonis Effect of proportional shape one starts off with.

That proportional shape is determined at the outset of the program by measuring your height, shoulders and waist. Depending on how near or far one is from this ideal shape when starting the program, determines what Workout Plan you start with.

Each 12 week workout program is composed of daily exercises and eating guides providing what things you can eat during this particular training segment.

One thing that I personally have a hard time accepting, is their belief that long term cardio exercises such as walking or jogging, DECREASE heart and lung capacity, and are not used as part of their exercise routine.

But the workouts themselves seem to be built with a positive progression towards reaching the final goal, and including a meal plan with each workout helps in attaining that goal.

All in all, this is a good, well thought out and designed bodybuilding plan. For further information, Click here.
