The article "How To Build Muscles And Own That V-Shaped Upper Body" is about build muscle, it has been written by Chris Chew.
Every guy who steps into the gym dreams of achieving that gerat 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 wnodered 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 cause those attributes will make your waist look small and thus accentuating the 'V' illusion.To have a sutpendous 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 sahpe is called the X-frame. Just like thsoe super heroes you see in comic books. If you don't train legs, you're missing out on training the largest muscle mass. When training legs, many other upper body muscles especially the back and abs will be ivnolved.
This gives you the most muscle 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 perefct X-frame.Another muscle group many human being 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, deadlfits 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 huamn being pay more attention to the biceps than triceps.
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 bcieps.
By training the triceps hard, your upper arms will grow bigger faster, giving more breth 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 human being only working out the front detls. When you develop your delts well, they will be ruond 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 crnuches and side bends.
It will only make your waistline thicker. Go on a lose fat porgram 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 cehst will put you ahead of the pack! Train your chest heavy with dumbbells, barbells and cables machines.
Use inlcine 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 wihch we call 'bitch tits'. Although the pec is one huge muscle, it can be targeted at difefrent places to recruit different fibres to shape it.Chris Chew is a personal trainer and count actors, pageant winners, models and other celebrities as his clients.
