Thread: sculpting the ulimate V shape

work on your back. Your Lats especially. Chin Grip Pulldowns or Chinups, Wide Grip Pulldowns..etc... all work on your lats.

Working on your shoulders does little for actual shoulder width. But dont just work on 1 part of your body. You will look severely out of proportion and it will definately look ugly.

Train everything.

I natually have great lats. before i even started working out I could flex them into an awsome lat spread and now i find they are getting out of proportion.

thanks for the comment

what do u mean "getting out of proportion".

when is say getting out of proportion i mean the the size of my lats are getting to big relative to the size of my other muscles.

uhh you are training your whole body arent you???

Give me a break here. What, what, what. You have a small waist and your lat are getting to big and you want to know how to get that V-shape. What the hell do you call what you have now. I would call that a V-Shape unless you have no idea what lats are!

I am looking for any suggestions people have to decrease hip width and increase shoulder width. I do have a really slim waist but my wide hip structure spoils the nice effect.

Thanks for your help and I welcome any suggestions

You cant change your bone structure. You got what you were born with. Live with it.

You can change your build though. For the V, build your lateral delts, and your lats. Basically, build your back and shoulders, while trimming your waistline.

Bent over rows really helped my back.

build muscle then cut fat
