Symmetrical Balance is a concept and terminology that utilizes a specific mathematical equation in achieving a balanced symmetry of the human body as it relates to physical fitness. This concept dates back to the late 1950’s, which introduced a basic numerical measurement to the human bodies’ wrist that is then multiplied by predetermined mathematical equations for multiple body parts. The results ultimately provide the ideal symmetrical body proportions that include the neck, shoulders, bicep/triceps, forearms, chest, abs, thighs and calves. Modern day fitness programs have missed the mark on promoting a more balanced plan to physique molding and shaping. For year’s fitness trainers and individual fitness athletes have used only one resource to identify a balanced physique by simply utilizing a mirror or camera. Well, that has NOW changed!
Here you can read about some of my clients, both past and present, people from different walks of life, different ages and different goals and read their stories and how getting symmetrical helped them.

The dip bar is one of my favorite exercises for widening the chest. This exercise also helps develop the shoulders and triceps; however, if done right you will be putting most of your emphasis on the chest. If you look at the diagram above, you will see the areas of muscles most affected and you will notice that the outer part of the chest is also involved.
To do this exercise properly there are two different versions that are acceptable;
Seated row is designed to help develop the upper and lower part of the back. This exercise is usually performed poorly due to inexperience or proper coaching. The diagram above shows the proper technique that needs to be used when performing this exercise period you will see that is best to lock the hips and legs in place with the knee slightly bent and pivot directly forward and backward at the hips and waist. As you pull back on the grips, you also need to extend your scapula back in an effort to almost make them touch each other. Again, it is important to focus on the back muscles through your thought process and avoid using the biceps and triceps to pull back on the weight.
Bent over one arm row is an exercise that is done for the upper and lower back and includes the triceps. If you look at the diagram above, you will see the proper technique for the lift. You start by placing your hand and knee on the bench, reach down, and pull the dumbbell up to your back making sure the dumbbell is parallel to your back and mid-torso with the elbow and bicep extended above. One of the best ways to explain this exercise is to think about reaching down and pulling a rope up from a chainsaw or lawn mower and maintaining that continuous flow. This exercise can be done at a 45 or 90° angle, which changes the degree of muscle used from upper to lo
There is no single formula to accurately calculate body fat percentage.
The best way to measure body fat involves using specialized equipment, usually in a doctor’s office. The doctor can use fat calipers to calculate fat percentage in a specific area of the body.There are several other accurate ways to assess body fat. These include underwater weighing, X-rays, and air displacement plethysmography. Measuring BMI is another way to estimate body fat. Although this method has limitations, BMI does correlate well with body fat in most people. It is also quicker and easier than other methods of measuring body fat.

You simply enter your wrist size (measured on the hand & fingers side of the wrist bone) into the calculator and it calculates the ideal measurements for a symmetrical and balanced physique. The measurements the calculator provides includes your; neck, arms, shoulder width, forearms, chest, waist, hips, thigh and calf.
This is the business slogan, which encourages everyone to try and use the “Symmetrical Balance” numbers from the website to set NEW fitness goals for symmetrical and aesthetic physique.
I do all ages (over 13) and have provided training for teenagers and young athletes in the past. However, what I see in the gym is many 40 to 70 year olds lifting wrong with bad techniques and more often to heavy of a weight. Information within this website will highlight many of those bad techniques. We will then provide downloadable videos that will show proper techniques for lifting weights.
