get the V taper physique like Jean Claude Van Damme and Chris Evans

training to get that V shape or V taper to your physique is very important and what bodybuilding is all about really.

In training Both Weight and Non-Weight Trainers will do many of the same exercises. and the Wide-grip chinning exercise is one, like grabbing hold of the lateral on a goal post and chinning off of it like when a kid.

This is a great exercise to get the v shape from, and will build fantastic arms and an unbelievable back. It develops the lat muscle located just under your armpit on your back, which will flare out your lats which also has the effect of making your waist look thinner in comparison to your lats and shoulder muscles.

This is one of the easiest muscles to develop and with back exercises of course, a fundamental exercise being chin ups, or pull-downs in the gym if you do not have access to something to chin up off like a lateral bar,

also training shoulders is important to get that wide look, along with some trap work as well, and this gives you that wide-shouldered, narrow waist look, a V shape! your training should focus on all muscle groups, but put a special emphasis on this muscle to help you create a great looking body, train everything but also train for the illusion as well, with exercises that bring out the bodybuilder style look, one example above to get the wide look to your physique.

this is what people like Chris Evans follow in there workouts to get that wide shoulders look, the same with Jean-Claude Van Damme as well who was known for his physique and set the stage for the hollywood muscleman look really.


the actors like chris evans use lots of tricks in there workouts


look to train upper chest and also get a good stretch in the pecs to get that full wide look, also important for the wide look is to train shoulders well as well, train all 3 heads of the shoulder muscles the front, side and back lateral muscle heads of the shoulders, as can be seen in this picture of chris evans, he has emphasised chest and shoulder development


Jean Claude Van Damme of course was one of the original muscle men along with sylvester stallone and arnold schwarzenegger they pretty much broke the mould when it came to hollywood muscle men, you can check these 3 out in the upcoming movie expendables 2 in 2012 as well.

Jean Claude Van Damme


Jean Claude Van Damme of course started in martial arts, but do not be mistaken he was also a keen bodybuilder as well, and so trained for the V look to his physique, wide shoulders and a thin waist, which he pulled off to a great effect through his workout training
