5 Workouts for Building a Victory-Worthy V-Taper

Posted on by Hany Rambod
20 Oct

A bodybuilder’s physique has traditionally been described as an X, complete with wide shoulders, a small waist, and big legs. The term V-taper has evolved to describe men’s physique, a look focused on upper-body training. However, fine-tuned full-body training is required to build the complete V-taper physique. Follow these five targeted FST-7 workouts to achieve a victory-worthy V-taper.

SHOULDERS

To achieve a combination of shape, roundness, and separation, perform presses and variations of lateral raises.

SHOULDERS
Dumbbell Shoulder Press
2 warm-up sets, 2 working sets of 8-12 reps
Cable Lateral Raise
1 warm-up set, 2 working sets of 8-12 reps
Alternating Dumbbell Front Raise

High-Pulling Row: 2 sets, 8-12 reps
FST-7: Dumbbell Lateral Raise

BACK

While you’ll be training for overall thickness and width, focus on developing your upper back by utilizing straight-arm pulldowns, pullups, and v-bar pulldowns.

BACK (Rest 90 seconds between sets)
Underhand Cable Pulldowns
4 sets of 10-12 reps (2 warm-up sets, 2 working sets)

Increase weight on 2nd set (+5 partials after final rep)

3 sets, 8-12 (hold poses between sets)
FST-7: Straight-Arm Pulldown using Rope

ARMS

When it comes to the V-taper aesthetic, your shoulders should be balanced with your arms. Focus on performing barbell curls, preacher curls, pushdowns, and skull crushers.

ARMS (TRICEPS/BICEPS)
Single-Arm Reverse-Grip Triceps Cable Press-Down
2 warm-up sets, 2 working sets of 8-12 reps per arm

Standing Double Bicep Cable Curl
3 sets, 10-12 reps
Reverse Curl
3 sets, 20 reps

LEGS

Train your calves, period. In a close contest, that could be the tiebreaker. I have my clients train legs once a week with squats, lunges, and standing calf raises.

LEGS/CALVES
Standing Calf Raises
4 sets, 15-20 reps

*Advanced Users: Flex the muscle during rest period

ABS

A well-developed mid- section establishes the rest of the physique, and this is especially true for the V-taper. The waist is going to be the smallest of all the divisions. Train your abs using your body weight only to achieve that lean, chiseled core.

AB CIRCUIT (Rest 1 minute between rounds)
Reverse Crunch
3 sets, 10-15 reps (to failure)
Elbow to Knee
3 sets, 10-15 reps (to failure)
Flat Bench Lying Leg Raise
3 sets, 10-15 reps (to failure)
Air Bike
3 sets, 10-15 reps (to failure)

Key Points to Remember

 

  • Eccentric motion. Often referred to as the “negative” portion of the exercise movement. By slowing down the eccentric portion of the motion you’re able to stimulate the any muscle group in a much more dramatic fashion, especially in curling isolation movement. The arms primarily consist of type II muscle fibers (fast twitch) so to accurately stimulate their growth, applying loads in a slow and controlled manner shock them.

 

  • Blood starving sets. The goal is to create a huge flood of blood after this portion of the workout is done. This creates an extreme pump for the rest of the workout but inherently this creates some sarcoplasmic hypertrophy and stretches the fascia. Also, this allows for enhanced nutrient flow as well. Try them with other arm exercise as well focusing on the triceps.

 

  • Constant tension. Remember when training triceps, do not lock out. By keeping the muscle under constant tension, you force it to work harder and keep your joints healthier. When applying this principle check your ego at the door and drop the poundages down a bit. The goal is maximal stimulation.

 

DISCLAIMER

Please consult with a physician prior to beginning any exercise or exercise program. When undertaking any exercise activity, there is a risk of injury. You should be healthy and familiar with the proper form, techniques, and preparation for the exercises you undertake and the equipment you use. Always use safe techniques and protective equipment when engaging in exercise. If you are unfamiliar with the proper and safe techniques and equipment for the exercises you intend to perform, please seek advice and assistance before performing them. If you are in poor health, or are handicap, ask for the opinion of your physician or health care provider and exercise only under qualified supervision. Discontinue exercising if you experience any light headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, or discomfort and consult your physician or other health care provider.

70 Seconds on FST-7 Glute Abductors

Posted on by evogenelite
04 Aug

Pro Creator and Celebrity coach Hany Rambod demonstrates this popular glute abductor movement with Evogen Elite Athlete Lauren Findley.

Abductor machines isolate the glutes, but due to the varying size discrepancies of various types of abductor machines the individual must make adjustments to get the resistance through the entire range of motion.

Bring knees as close together as possible while maintaining tension. This means not allowing the weight stack to drop.
Use the abductor as an FST-7 preload at the beginning of your glute workout.
