They were our heroes and they were the men whose strong presence made us feel secure. But that was yesterday, and they lived within the fantastic world of comic strips and TV. We still do see men like those, they may not have superpowers but they do have their super physique. Whoever said that, it's impossible to have the perfect V-shaped torso, was wrong! Each and every man who ever wished to have the perfect Grecian god like body, is free to have it, though there is just one condition. It will not be offered to you on a platter, it will not be achieved easily. You will need to transcend the boundaries of your own limitations, you will need perseverance and you will need the strength to go on and not stop midway.

How to Get a V-Shaped Torso
The only way you can achieve this perfect torso is to chalk down a well planned and precise exercise regimen. This body type is broad at the upper torso and taper at the waist, which can be achieved only by focusing on your entire back. Following are some of the areas you will need to work on:

• Which means that the largest muscle, the latissimusdorsi will require extra attention. This muscle wraps around the sides of the upper torso from underneath the arms, which is why the torso gets its broad frame.
• The other areas of your back that will need special attention will be the Middle deltoids that primarily are responsible for the lifting of the hands while doing weights, which makes them essential for forming the shape and adding size to the torso.
• The Trapezius also will require boosting up as they combine in the size enhancement of the upper torso.
• While working on the lower torso with lower chest exercises, you will need to do lower back exercises, the obliques and the rectus abdominis area.

Pull-Ups
Do your pull-ups right, as they are one of the best back strengthening exercise. In order to get the perfect torso you will need to focus on 3 types of pull-ups.

• Step 1- Firstly grab the pull up bars with your palms facing forward, so that your hands are set apart in a way that they are, wider than the width of your shoulders. And now pull yourself up, so that the bar reaches the mid of your chest. Now take a deep breath and lower yourself down.
• Step 2- Now the next pull ups set will require, that you grab the bar with your palms facing towards you, while your arms are at shoulder width. Now resume your push ups as before, stop at the mid chest and pull yourself down. These are among the most effective, back workouts for mass and they really work wonders.
• Step 3- You must begin with your 3^rd set by week 3-4. Wherein you will require two parallel bars, you will have to hold them while your palms face each other. And then pull yourself until the bars reach your lower waist and then bring yourself back down. If you can't reach your waist then try reaching the mid chest initially till you build up your strength a bit more.

Mid-Chest Pull Down
In this workout, you will need to work out on a lat pull-down bar, wherein your hands are placed 2 feet apart, while your palms face towards you. Sit straight, and pull the bars down in such a way that your elbows are pulled down. You must not focus on your biceps, instead the focus must be on your shoulder blades being squeezed in when the bar reaches your chest. And then allow the bar to release slowly upwards so that your hands are above your head in an incline.

Hyper extension
Hyper extension bench exercises help exercise your lower back and the spinal muscles. Thereby exercising your waist and make the entire torso trimmer.
Some of the other exercise you will need to do are:

• Seated Bent Over Lateral Raises- so as to exercise your posterior deltoids
• Behind the Back Shrug- these focus on your trapezius and upper back.
• Single-Arm Lateral Raise-these help exercise your middle deltoids. Use a dumbbell on one hand only for each set.
• Pendulum- these exercises will help tone up the rectus abdominis, and your oblique.

You will need to divide these exercises into sets, and plan your exercise regime into different weeks, wherein you focus on specific parts of your torso and back.
