Another body goals in almost every gym-goer’s list: to achieve a v-taper. But what is it, really?

It’s having wide shoulders, small waist, and portruding lat muscles (also known as a cobra back). It’s basically a V-shaped body, hence the name. It’s dangerously sexy, whether you’re a man or a woman. You might think it’s highly genetic, but it’s actually possible to sculpt your body in that way.

So how do you make that happen? Well, certified personal trainer Alfonso Moretti compiled four effective exercises on Men’s Fitness:

GET THAT: THE BACK V-TAPER

Are you a string bean with a slender waist who feels scrawny? Or perhaps overweight with some extra luggage in the middle compartment? Concentrating on and developing the V-taper will make skinny dudes appear much broader, and create better symmetry for folks on the heavier side. We’ve asked Alfonso Moretti, owner and trainer of AngryTrainerFitness.com for the must-try workout for either guy to forge that coveted shape. What is it: The Latissimus Dorsi. It’s the broadest muscle group of the back and is responsible for the highly sought after “V–taper”. Read more…

Lastly, check out these final tips from American former professional bodybuilder Frank Zane on Muscle and Fitness:

FRANK ZANE’S TOP TIPS FOR A CLASSIC V-TAPER

If there’s one man who understands the aesthetics of bodybuilding better than anyone else, it’s Frank Zane. The three-time Mr. Olympia is still considered the gold standard of aesthetic appeal with his trademark small waist and dramatic V-taper of well-developed lats, shoulders, pecs, and a deeply carved serratus.

In conclusion, the ultimate v-taper workouts consist of a few popular gym movements, including pullups, deadlifts, bench presses, crunches, and rows. These exercises will make you believe that you don’t necessarily need waist trainers and other body-shaping clothing or tools to trim your midsection.

Remember that a massive size is great, but don’t forget the importance of good proportion. You wouldn’t want to look all bulky without a shape, right?

And most importantly, according to Zane, eating clean, and avoiding processed foods is one key. This will help you pack on protein to feed your hungry muscles, while cutting out on the bad carbs and fats that will all mess up with your body goals. It’s also better if you eat small meals every two to three hours than large and heavy meals in only three sitting every day.
