Every man who enters the gym aspires to have the classic V-shaped upper body that commands respect and attention. Many people have been working out for months, if not years, and still don't have the V-shaped upper body. Have you ever wondered why?

Before I show you how to achieve the glorious ‘V,' you should know that the ‘V' form is also a trick of the eye. If you have a broad, thick back, a strong chest, and boulder-like deltoids, your ‘V' will stand out because those features will make your waist appears thin, emphasizing the ‘V' illusion.

Train your legs

You must train the lower body in order to have a fantastic upper body. If your legs are like bamboo sticks, V-shapes would just be an ugly upper body shape. The X-frame is a great all-around body form. As if they were superheroes from comic books. Legs are the largest muscle mass in the body, so if you don't exercise them, you're missing out. 

Many other upper body muscles, especially the back and abs, will be used while training legs. This allows you to train the most muscle mass in a single session. Since you're working so many muscles at once, you'll secrete a lot of growth hormones while sleeping, which will help you achieve the ideal X-frame.

Build your back

The back is just another muscle category that many people overlook. Both the thickness and width of the back must be practiced. Many back exercises often strengthen the rear deltoids and trapezius muscles, which are crucial for achieving the ‘V' shape. 

When your back is thick, you will appear solid, and the width will make your waist appear narrower, emphasizing the ‘V'. For a thick and solid back, do barbell rows and deadlifts. Chin-ups and push-ups (weighted and done in a steady, regulated motion) will give you the distance, or ‘wings' as they are more widely known.

Now for triceps

Your triceps are another visible V-shape illusion maker. However, most people focus on the biceps rather than the triceps. So, why triceps? Since your triceps have three 'heads,' as the name implies, and each 'head' must be addressed when you exercise them. They're also a third the size of your biceps. 

Your upper arms will grow bigger faster if you work your triceps hard, giving your upper body more room and giving the illusion of a thin waistline. Your deltoids are the strongest illusion-makers. There are three ‘heads' on your delts. Most of the time, however, I just see people working out their front delts. Your delts will be round and boulder-like when properly developed, and they will make your shoulder large and solid.

Grow your chest

Dumbbells, barbells and cable machines will help you build a strong chest. Instead of flat or declining benches, use incline benches. You should target the upper chest rather than the lower chest to avoid getting the droopy or saggy chest.

 Despite the fact that the pec is a large muscle, it can be targeted in various areas to recruit different fibres to form it.
