================== ARTICLE START ==================

Every guy who steps into the gym dreams of achieving that great

classical V-shaped upper body that commands respect and

attention. Many have trained for months, if not years and yet

that V-shaped upper body just isn't forth coming. Ever wondered

why?

Before I show you various ways to achieve 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

because those attributes will make your waist look small and

thus accentuating the 'V' illusion.

To have a stupendous upper body, you MUST train your lower

body. V-shapes will just be an ugly upper body shape if your

legs are like bamboo poles. The excellent full body shape is

called the X-frame. Just like those super heroes you see in

comic books. If you don't train legs, you are missing out on

training the largest muscle mass. When training legs, many

other upper body muscles especially the back and abs will be

involved. This gives you the most muscle mass trained in one

go. And because you are training so many muscles at one go, you

secrete tons of growth hormones when you sleep, further

enhancing overall muscle development for that perfect X-frame.

Another muscle group many people fail to pay attention to is

the back. The back must be trained for thickness as well as

width. Many back exercises also develop the rear deltoids 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 pronounced. Do bar-bell row, deadlifts for a thick and

powerful back. Chin-ups and push-ups (weighted and doing them in

a slow controlled motion) will provide you the width or more

commonly called 'wings'.

Another very obvious V-shape illusion creator are your triceps.

But most people pay more attention to the biceps than triceps.

Why triceps then? Because your triceps, as the name 'tri'

suggests, has three '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

bigger faster, giving more berth to your upper body and again

creating a narrow waistline illusion.

The best illusion-shapers are your deltoids. Your delts have 3

'heads'. However, most of the time, I see people only working

out the front delts. When you develop 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, big strong triceps... now,

do you see that 'V'? Add lateral raise, bent-over lat-raisers

and upright rows to your routine.

How to have a beautiful 'V' if your abs are flabby? Forget the

side crunches and side bends. It will only make your waistline

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! Train your chest heavy with dumbbells, barbells and

cables machines. Use incline benches rather than flat or

declining 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'. Although the pec is one

huge muscle, it can be targeted at different places to recruit

different fibres to shape it.
