Too many exercise programs don’t take body proportion into account and are overly-obsessive with specific lifts, leading to disproportionate physiques (e.g. lower body too big in comparison to the upper body).
The kind of training in this article is geared specifically towards sculpting a broad-shouldered, proportionate, and athletic looking physique by focusing on developing the following:
a) To achieve the illusive "V-taper" shape, you need broad, rounded shoulders that are equally distributed throughout all three heads.
b) The upper, middle, and lower portions of the chest are sculpted and nicely formed.
c) The "V-taper" shape is enhanced by a powerful back that is both broad and wide enough.
d) The upper traps should be strong but not overdeveloped to give the upper body a powerful appearance.
e) The biceps and triceps are highly developed and perfectly proportioned.
f) Abdominal and oblique muscles are very visible and defined to match the upper body muscles
g) Complete the "athletic" look with legs that are in proportion to the upper body but not overly massive.
"The Attractive Physique" is made by doing these 6 lifts:
The above goals will be met through the use of the following six important lifts, which will ultimately create an attractive physique.
"The Big Six" is how I refer to them.
The following exercises are as follows:
1. Bench Press
2. Dumbbell Incline Press
3. Overhead Press
4. Pull-Ups.
5. Deadlift
6. Back Squat
Isolation exercises should be replaced by these movements.
Why?
Despite the fact that isolation exercises are quick, simple and give you a good pump. A false sense of accomplishment comes from this.
In actuality, the majority of your time should be spent on compound movements (the "big six"), which are the most time-consuming and effective.
Getting better at these exercises involves a significant amount of work and concentration, neither of which are simple to come by. Nonetheless, I can attest to the fact that this is the "secret" to transforming your physique.
As a result, learning and moving through "the big six" should be your primary goal, since if you do so, you'll have an incredible and proportionate physique.
Some of you may just want a six pack. And at this point, you’re thinking, "I'm not going to get a six-pack with these exercises,".
Here's where you go completely off track. And I can't blame you for it.
As a result of this industry's deception, you've been taught to believe that "fat burning workouts," such as metabolic circuits and low weights and high reps, are the only things that will work.
However, the truth is that there are no distinguishing "fat loss" and "muscle gain" workouts.
When you're trying to reduce weight, you need to keep as much muscle mass as possible in order to avoid acquiring a "skinny-fat" appearance, as I explained earlier.
What's the best way to go about it?
Lifting a lot of weight with the six workouts I listed above! Even if you're only trying to lose weight, these six workouts will help you build muscle in the ideal areas.
The majority of your fat loss will occur as a result of your diet, whereas your training helps ensure that your body looks as attractive as possible once you achieve that fat loss.
