([(a² + b²)2]root) x 2 x pi x ratio = measurement in inches

You could simplify that to:
sqrt(2*(a²+b²))*pi*ratio

sqrt((a²+b²)/2)*2
=sqrt(4)
=sqrt(a²+b²)*sqrt(2)
=[color=red”>sqrt(2*(a²+b²))

I'm sorry I missed your posts about this, Fett.  I would have given you some credit if I had known about your posts on this subject.  I haven't been here that long, and haven't read the board very often since I joined.  BTW, Thanks for the better elliptical circumference equation.  It should help me out when I get to parts like chest where the aspect ratio is far from 1:1.

I did many of the ratios by screen-capping videos on Youtube.  This was easier to get multiple angles from.  I did the first few off of pics on my HD, but changed over to videos after realizing how hard it would be to get multiple angles from the same shot. (many schmoetogs stick to the same angle)

I never saved the screen-caps to disk, and deleted them afterwards.  I had to use pics saved off of the drive for the tested measurement.

Here are some of the videos I used:

Marja Lehtonen (biceps):

Tina Lockwood (biceps):

I used the pics from the blue demin dress shoot for Tina's calves.  Here's video from that shoot to see her condition:

Gina Davis (biceps & thighs):

This is Helle Nielsen's condition in the photos I used of her:

These were Conny Brandt's two quad shots used:

Nursel Gurler's shots were basically the condition she always seems to be in.

Well, I just tried my  measuring method on this soldier, and got:

Height – 5'8" (68")
Biceps – 25"
Thighs – 29"
Calves – 21"

She's a bit top heavy, obviously, but not too much.  I need to figure out the chest ratios; she must have a pretty huge measurement.

[John]

I goofed on listing the ratios, these are the correct ones

— Calf —
Low: 0.94
High: 1.13
Average: 1.03
Std dev: 0.08
Recommended range: 0.95 <-> 1.15

— Thigh —
Low: 0.85
High: 0.92
Average: 0.88
Std dev: 0.03
Recommended range: 0.85 <-> 0.95

— Bicep —
Low: 0.73
High: 0.81
Average: 0.77
Std Dev: 0.04
Recommended range: 0.7 <-> 0.85

I switched biceps and thighs.

Here are the results of "measuring" the sample pics with the ratios:

Calf
Name TestCrcm
Tina Lockwood (OS) 20.64
Marja Lehtonen 17.97
Nursel Gurler 16.33
Helle Nielsen 17.27

Thigh
Name TestCrcm
Marja Lehtonen 27.38
Gina Davis (OS) 27.81
Conny Brandt 26.09
Helle Nielsen 26.75

Bicep
Name TestCrcm
Gina Davis (OS) 17.98
Tina Lockwood (OS) 18.76
Marja Lehtonen (A) 16.53
Marja Lehtonen (B) 16.58

Both Gina D. and Tina L. were super-bulky off-season conditions.  Marja L. was ripped (when is she not?) and Helle N., Nursel G., and Conny B. were in moderately soft offseason conditions in the photos used.

Here's another version with brown camo and long hair.

Well, for just having muscular pinup models and 'fantasy' material, I really don't want ugly women, but as for the sport of female bodybuilding itself, I say let them look as big as possible.  The double standard of letting ugly men compete while penalizing ugly women (beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that) seems a bit unfair and unbalanced.  No reason to put one gender at one standard, and another gender at yet another, completely different standard.

[John]

Nice work.  It will be hard to keep her tied down.

[John]

Well, I meant the poses used were of two prominent bodybuilders, namely Tina Lockwood (left) and Gina Davis (right).  I didn't necessarily base them on any real female wrestlers, other than probably some dominator (dominatrix) like Beth, Chyna, or Victoria in spirit.
