Adonis EffectHa… okay, so I’m not talking about whether you’ve slept with over 100 women or not …although that does seem to be the threshold of whether you’re a “guru” or not… but whatever.

No, lets talk about something a little more tangible… something you can’t lie about!

One of the more difficult things for men (and women) when it comes to improving themselves is coming up with certain metrics (or measuring sticks if you will) from which to compare yourself to.

In fitness and health, generally one of two things pop up:

1. Your weight
2. Your max bench

… at least for guys any way.

But, at least for the sake of actually looking better… there’s one single metric that is scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to be the most important for physical attraction.

That metric is called your Adonis Index.

Your Adonis Index is quite easy to compute… it’s just the ratio of the circumference of your shoulders to the circumference of your waist… with the ideal ratio being 1.614: The Golden Ratio.

Naturally, guys with this ratio exhibit a V taper… but the 1.614 Adonis Index is the optimum.

Currently, I’m sitting at a pretty good ratio of 1.46… where are you?

If you’re working out or are thinking about working out, let’s see how you “measure up”.

You’ll be surprised at how fun and addicting knowing your Adonis Index can be.

Plus, you don’t have to worry about weight or bodyfat or any of that stuff because it’s already “included”… if you will… in your Adonis Index.

But, you might have a question on how to influence your Adonis Index… no problems. I have just the thing for you…

If your workouts are becoming a little stagnant and you want some change… try this out:

Metabolic Acceleration: Whole Body Circuits

Circuit One – Complete 3 sets of the following exercises back to back to back

Circuit Five – Complete 3 sets of the following exercises back to back to back

… and you’re done.

That’s a proven routine to blowtorch body fat and move your body closer to its ideal Adonis Index.

So, let’s get you “measured up”… and start working your way towards physical perfection.

After all, you DO want women rubbing all over you… right?

    Brad, this is great little circuit! As I mentioned, I coached college athletics, so we did similar stuff all the time. I’m going to try this myself at my next workout and I’ll leave feedback.

    I’m planning on reviewing the demo you send me…thanks for the great value.

    Oh… hey Lance, John’s down at UF right now drooling all over the women… lol.

    (Taking all of your old women :) )

    You can’t take my people anywhere… I swear.

    I’ve taken classes at UCF. You might find this hard to believe, but if there’s ANY place that has more freakin hotties on it’s campus, it’s UCF. Seriously. That place is the Mecca of Poon. People should make pilgrimmages there and stuff.

    Okay, I did this entire workout this morning. Great workout, probably the best I’ve had in several months. I was spent afterwards. Here’s a quick and dirty review.

    I’d rate this as medium to medium-high difficulty. If you’re a gym noob, you’ll have to look up some of the exercises (prisoner squats, squat press, both stability ball exercises, etc). I had never done a few of these, and I’ve been weight lifting for years. Which is great, because I love learning new lifts. If you own the AE exercise manual, there are pictures with clear descriptions of each lift. If you’re a veteran lifter, this workout won’t be a problem, but plan to spend about 1.5 hours in the gym.

    I was pretty wasted on parts of the workout. Examine the upper body lifts on sets 1 & 2: 126 pushups, 39 curl and press, which is a fair amount of reps. Noobs will probably have to do girly pushups and bring the weight way down. I didn’t have a problem with the pushups, but I dropped from my usual 40 lbs on the curl-press to 25 lbs just to make it through.

    My gym doesn’t allow stability balls in the free weight area (they have a room for this), so I had to dash back and forth during circuit 3 and 4 to get everything in during the 60″ rest. Not a big deal, just check to see if it’s possible to do circuits at your gym. A lot of them are set up well for this type of training.

    What I really like about this workout is it’s more advanced, good variety, and well thought out. Not like something lame you’d find in Men’s Health. I’ve worked with high level strength and conditioning coaches before and this is very similar to something you’d find in a competitive sports program.

    I’m looking forward to trying out the full Adonis Effect program. If you want a great workout, you won’t be disappointed with this one.

    Hey Lance…

    Next week I’ll put one of the “Rage” workouts up. They are included as a bonus and they’re designed to make you puke… lol.

    I did.

    Dude, it’s over 1000 pages long, plus extras… who’s going to actually go through all that… even reading it would take too long.

    Most people buy ebooks that are 80 pages long and never get around to reading them - these guys present you with the challenge of READING the stuff, and also DOING LONG, TOUGH WORKOUTS REGULARLY, (plus special diet, and going to the gym)!

    My guesstimate is that less than 0,1% of the people who buy this will actually go through the program and stick with it. They should’ve made this much simpler.

    I hate to say it, but it’s very likely to end up just as a passing fad.

  9. Comment by Brad on 30 June 2008:

    You’re right… it’s 1000 pages…

    … but it’s NOT 1000 pages of text to read.

    There are 3 workout programs, 9 nutrition programs… and clear instructions on how to proceed with each.

    In fact, it’s as much “How To” as it gets.

    The “reading” only encompasses about 25 pages of how to get started… after that… it’s pure exercise and nutrition… step by step.

    Oh… and the Adonis Index is featured in Men’s Health this month :)

  10. Comment by John on 1 July 2008:

    Feliciano,

    Brad is correct. The main manual for the workout and how it all works is only about 25 pages. Then the rest is three different 12 week workout programs that you just follow along each day. Depending on your current body measurements you will only ever need to follow one of the three workouts.

    The rest of the 1000 pages you speak of are nutrition guides that are specific to each of the workouts. Again you will only need one of the nutrition guides and you select the one that is for you based on your measurements.

    As your measurements change (for example as a very slim guy started to put on muscle) he would need to switch to the next set of workouts and nutrition guides that fit with his new body shape and size.

    In reality the program is 3 programs put together and you only ever use 1 of them at a time. Most of the pages are exercise description pictures so you know how to do them correctly. Workout charts that you follow along and can just print off and bring to the gym to see what to do.

    And nutrition guides and meal plans that you also just follow along. Its a complete day by day how to guide. You only read the parts you need as you need them.

    Reading the main manual to understand how to put all of this to work will probably take you less than 30 mins. Then you just get started.

    John
