Charts And Tables - FFMI & Genetic Potential Visual Resources

Visual Tools for Understanding Your Genetic Potential

These research-backed charts and tables help you understand where you stand in terms of natural muscle-building potential, body composition, and realistic physique goals. Each chart is based on scientific data from peer-reviewed studies and decades of natural bodybuilding research.

Use these visual references to set realistic expectations, track your progress against natural standards, and determine if your training and nutrition are optimized for your genetic capacity.

Symmetry Analysis

Wrist Ankle Ratio Chart

Assess your bone structure symmetry and proportionality. The wrist-to-ankle ratio reveals genetic frame balance and muscle-building capacity.

  • Ideal ratio ranges (0.7-0.8)
  • Upper vs lower body genetics
  • Proportionality assessment
  • Frame size classification
