3 Inches, how depressing.

[br d]

I'm usually reasonably fit, bit of running and that sort of thing, have had a little paunch in the past but not enough to notice. However, I got put on steroids (medical ones) about 18 months ago and I've been putting weight on, my gut is now sitting 3 inches further out than my chest. Just wondered what the PH ratios were.

I'll start:

Age = 45
Gut out from Chest ratio = 3 inches

And in true PH style, I'd be very interested in the female stats too!

29

Chest out from Gut ratio - 4 inches

Sound, well done Kit, our first minus, that makes me feel a little better!

[MrGman]

27

Chest out from Gut ratio = 0

I don't think that was meant to be a minus sign ...

Well, moved instantly as the Gavster predicted, I really think it would have been interesting to get a good spectrum of results via the lounge.

Ho-Hum

18 months ago it was a clear couple of inches

Now 0 or even -1

Went from 36" - 30" jeans.

Did you quit drinking or something? I was just about to make the jump from a 34 to a 36 when i quit (or cut back massively), now i too am looking at 30" waist for my next trouser!

It's fairly straight forward..albeit a bit gay

That's why I don't understand, then...

I could never get into the running thing, it sounds like it works wonders!

Congrats

I think he means how much does the belly protrude the chest line.. Where asmy chest protrudes more than my stomach, like most people that are not fat, and do any kind of pressing work at the gym.

Picture here to show what I mean..

Ignore the gay bit in the link, this is an extreme example but shows you waht I mean, I think

1)I think everyone gets that bit - but the maths still make no sense.

Ah... I get it now

No wait sorry,- I'm being stupid and assuming there was some clever formula when it was much more obvious -I think I get it now; we're (slightly clumsily) approximating the difference purely between pec size and gut sticky-outy. Rather than purely comparing circumferences on which chest size also depend on lats. Yeah I get it........ but that pic is still intrinsically gay
