Don't Make Your Body Ugly

Save Tip

When trying to improve your body, don't make the mistake of just bulking like crazy (for the guys) or simply starving yourself (for the ladies). Work on the proportion of your figure as if you were a renaissance artist. First lose the fat - thus guys would have more shapely shoulders and waist, resembling more closely the nice taper of the letter V. Girls in turn would have a much sexier waist to hip ratio, For guys - work on your weak areas. If going for the V, develop the lats with weighted pull ups, the shoulders with military presses and various lateral raises as well as the triceps to give your body more width. Don't neglect anything else, but focus on your weaknesses and on building proportion and not just size.
Gals - put a bit of muscle on your but, hips and shoulders with squats, dead lifts, lunges, pull downs and various shoulder presses.

	“ Good tip! It's so true, people sometimes have a hard time finding a happy medium and tend to get carried away. If more people thought like you everyone would look a lot better! ”

	“ Rusty, you are right. I can tell by your picture on the beach that your BF is really low. I really want to get lean because right now my face and especially jaw line look too puffy. ”

	“ Yavor...great tips as always buddy! As far as body fat goes...anything around 6-10% is amazing in my opinion. Just to keep things interesting it is fun to shoot for 5% for the start of a summer, or for a big trip. Make sure you bring a camera! I've been down to 5% on a few occasions and never catch it on film. You will be amazed at how sharp your face and jawline looks at that percentage. Anyway...keep the great tips coming! ”

	“ Aaron, thanks for the feedback! What Helder meant was that he used to do heavy deads and pulls and then found it hard to lose some of the bulk on his hips that came from doing the heavy exercises. I'm not against heavy compound lifts, for the record, I will write about it in another post. ”

	“ I believe its good to watch the BF when bulking. Harder to shed that fat when the time comes that one wants to cut. I don't think I'm losing size from doing deads and squats though LOL ”
