i think that circut is weak. it definiltly will not get you close to the perfect greek god body. thats chumps stuff… youre gonna have to work alot harder than that to get there, and pay close attention to muscles…. some need heavy weight, some night light high reps. porportion requires you to show favoritism to certain muscle areas left/right side of your body…

my index currently is 1.35. I hope i can get to 1,45 soon and maybe higher with a combo of some pull ups, push ups, sit ups and cardio.

Hey Miguel,

Sure, you take your height, multiply by 0.447 to get your optimum waist, the multiply your optimum waist by the golden ratio (1.618) to get your optimum shoulders.

I’m 6 foot, so it would be 72 inches tall, roughly 32 inch waist, roughly 52 inch shoulders.

Make sense?

I have the same doubt that Hernan has/had.

Or the question is only to be answered by buying the books?

Because I would be interested in buying it all. Just wanted to see before how would I look like in the end of the process, to know if it fits my interest.

Thanks!

Hi Brad is there any way to find out the optimum measurements of the shoulders and waist should be based on how tall you are and the index. For example, if you where 6 feet 2 inches, and keeping in mind the INDEX you shoulders should have a circunference of 50 inches and your waist should be 30, I am using this messurementes only for the explanation purpose, and i don’t know if i have donde a verry good job at it, but I hope to hear from you soon.

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.

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

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.
