Proper Proportions For A Ripped Appearance

Read 276 times since Sunday, December 11, 2011

Having a ripped appearance can be boiled down to a science. Before you do anything else you need to start eating right.

The number one most attractive feature is a low percentage of body fat. The strongest lifters in the world have huge muscles and large amounts of fat to provide good burst of energy, but just being incredibly strong doesn't increase their physical appeal.

Actors like Brad Pit, Taylor Lautner, and Christian Bale all have ripped looking physiques and this comes from their very low amount of fat in their body. You need to start burning more calories than you are consuming and start working the muscles near excess amounts of fat to start trimming your body.

Eliminating this fat is going to make your muscles seem bigger by making them more apparent. Now being scrawny isn't going to be any good if you do not have muscles to look at.

Eighty percent of the muscles in your body are going to be unseen, so what you want to do is specifically target the veneer muscles on the body: the chest, abdomen, shoulders, and biceps. The upper body is all anybody really cares about looking at.

Have you ever in your life heard a women express her appreciation for a man's muscular thigh or calf? It is unlikely, but if a guy has a set of abs visible from the bike trail that lines the beach you are going to notice complements.

The shoulders should be roughly one point seven times broader than the waste, creating a solid V shape. Broad shoulders signify masculinity, and women really notice when a man's shoulders double the size of her own.

Having broad shoulders is going to coincide with having a developed chest. If the chest is undeveloped broad shoulders are going to look unnatural and abnormal.

Focus on developing width in the pectoral muscles, this will create the plate look and also help to widen the shoulders. Now, when you are wearing a shirt you want the pectorals to be the most noticeable muscle.

You are aiming to have the chest protrude outward and the stomach to tighten inward, so that you look like a prevailing wall with a slight over hang. Having an ominous air is actually going to increase your appeal, because it will offset people and make them respect you.

Lastly you need to develop your biceps they should be the same width of your shoulders. Stringy arms are noticeable from a mile away, so be sure to develop good biceps and triceps, focusing predominately on the biceps.
