There are many people who may not be familiar with the idea of social dominance and how it relates to our physical bodies. But the idea of the ideal male physique and how people who have cultivated this can become leaders in not only their social spheres, but in business and industry as well. Let’s look at some the ways in which muscle building can and does help us achieve these goals.
Most guys enter the arena of muscle building with the vague idea of getting as big and powerful as possible with the mistaken notion that this will not only make them more attractive to the opposite sex, but will help them health-wise as well. Well, getting strong can have some beneficial health effects, but the idea that a shirt-ripping overblown chest and biceps will send women flocking to your front door is not only wrong, but can have the opposite effect. Studies have shown that what women have found as the irresistible male form through the ages is the classic “V” shape, one that is defined by a strong set of shoulders, tapering down to a trim waistline, with a well-defined chest and midsection in between. This has been the standard of classical artists such as Michelangelo, Da Vinci and more, and they have used this as a model for their great works of art. There’s a reason for that, and even the ancients knew it!
There is a mathematical equation relating to this form, and it is known as the “Golden Ratio”. It is expressed mathematically as 1:1:618 and has been used both in art as well as architecture. It even shows up in some of the processes of nature. Evidently nature has a formula for perfection as well!
As far as social dominance is concerned, we’ve all seen instances where this has played out before our eyes. Who hasn’t noticed the guy who walks into a room, possessing all the above characteristics, looking great, with an aura of confidence surrounding his every move. Heads turn, eyes drool, women stir and men defer as this guy is given all the attention. He is given the benefit of the doubt, whether he deserves it or not, and will be given the chance to succeed or fail first, before anyone else. This may not be fair, but it is the way of the world we live in.
I built the Adonis Index workout to develop both your body and your social dominance. It aims for developing an exact set of measurements that will deliver this classic form to any man, depending on his height. It meets every man where he is, and if followed, will deliver up the kind of ideal male form we’ve been talking about and that you desire!
