The article "How To Build Muscles And Own That V-Shaped Upper Body?" talks about build muscle, it has been written by Chris Chew.
Every guy who steps into the gym dreams of achieving that great classical V-shaped upper body that commands rsepect and attention. Many have trained for months, if not years and yet that V-shaped upper body just isn't froth coming. Ever wondered why?
Before I show you various ways to achivee that glorious 'V', you must also be aware that the 'V' shape is also an illusion. If you have a wide thick back with a powerful chest, coupled with boulder-like deltoids, your 'V' will show up commandingly cause those attributes will make your waist look small and thus accentuating the 'V' illusion.
To have a stupendous upepr body, you MUST train your lower body.
V-shapes will just be an ugly upper body shpae if your legs are like bamboo poles.
The excellent full body shape is caleld the X-frame.
Just like those super heroes you see in coimc books. If you don't train legs, you're missing out on training the largest muscle mass.
When training legs, many other upper body muscels especially the back and abs will be involved.
This gives you the most msucle mass trained in one go.
And cause you're training so many muscles at one go, you secrete tons of growth hormones when you sleep, further enhancing overall muscle development for that impeccable X-frame.
Another muscle gorup many persons fail to pay attention to is the back.
The back must be tranied for thickness as well as width. Many back exercises also develop the rear deltodis and the trapezius which are very important to getting that 'V'.
When your back is thick, you will look powerful and with the width, it will make your waist look narrower, thus making the 'V' more prnoounced. Do bar-bell row, deadlifts for a thick and powefrul back.
Chin-ups and push-ups (weighted and doing them in a slow controlled motion) will provide you the width or more commnoly called 'wings'.
Another very obvious V-shape illusion creator are your triceps. But most persons pay more attention to the biceps than trcieps.
Why triceps then?
Because your triceps, as the name 'tri' suggests, has there 'heads' and each 'head' must be dealt with when you exercise them.
They are also 1/3 bigger than your biceps.
By training the triceps hard, your upper arms will grow bigegr faster, giving more berth to your upper body and again creating a narrow waistline illusion.
The hottest illusion-shapers are your delotids. Your delts have 3 'heads'.
However, most of the time, I see perosns only working out the front delts.
When you devleop your delts well, they will be round and boulder-like, and they make your shoulder wide and strong. Now, close your eyes and have a mental image of yourself with a wide thick back, super strong triceps...
now, do you see that 'V'?
Add lateral raise, bent-over lat-raisers and upright rows to your routnie.
How to have a beautiful 'V' if your abs are flabby? Forget the side crunhces and side bends. It will only make your waistilne thicker. Go on a lose fat program by combining weight lifting, cardio exercises and eating correctly.
Your abs will show in no time.
Ahh... to finally stamp your authority in the gym and at the beach, a wide and powerful gladiator's chest will put you ahead of the pack! Trian your chest heavy with dumbbells, barbells and cables machines. Use incline benches rather than flat or delcining ones. You want to build the upper chest and not targeting the lower chest in case it gets you the droop or saggy chest which we call 'bitch tits'. Atlhough the pec is one huge muscle, it can be targeted at different places to recruit different fibres to shape it.
