V-Shaped Torso
Getting the perfect V-shaped torso is hard work and won't happen in a few days. It will require unflinching dedication and constant workout in order to yield results.
- The largest muscle, the latissimus dorsi will require extra attention. This muscle wraps around the sides of the upper torso from underneath the arms and lends the torso its broad frame.
- The other areas of your back that will need special attention will be the deltoid muscle.
- The trapezius also will require boosting up as it contributes in enhancing the size of the upper torso.
- While working on the lower torso, you will need to do lower back exercises, and strengthen the obliques and rectus abdominis area.
- Step 1 - Firstly, grab the pull-up bars with your palms facing forward, so that your hands are set apart in a way that they are wider than the width of your shoulders. Pull yourself up so that the bar reaches the mid of your chest. Thereafter, take a deep breath and lower yourself down.
- Step 2 - The next pull-up set will require that you grab the bar with your palms facing towards you, while your arms are at shoulder width. Now, resume your workout as before, stop at the mid chest and pull yourself down. These are among the most effective back workouts for mass and they really work wonders.
- Step 3 - You must begin with your 3rd set by week 3-4. Wherein you will require two parallel bars and you will have to hold them while your palms face each other. Pull yourself until the bars reach your lower waist and then bring yourself back down. If you can't reach your waist, try reaching the mid chest until you build up your strength a bit more.
