For those of you working on your physique, if your shirt is on 99% of the time, arms and shoulders means more than abs

Well, sort of.

You want to have that V shape.

To accomplish this, you need your shoulders to be significantly wider than your waist. The best way to get that is reduce your body fat and do weight training that builds your shoulders and upper arms. Really, you should be doing a full weight training routine, though. Abs show through when you have low body fat. You're right that abs aren't absolutely necessary, but it can't hurt.

Secondly, you want clothing that fits properly. A basic in your wardrobe should be fitted button up shirts, especially for work. Get then darted or tailored. Or learn how to do it yourself. You want the excess material around the waist removed to emphasize your shoulders and further get that V look.

Don't take this to the extreme and make sure your clothing fits. If you are ripped and you wear clothes that are a size too small everyone just thinks you are trying too hard and you look like an asshole, you shouldn't be bursting out of anything you wear.

Thanks. Now I have a reason to skip leg day

Edit: I was kidding, NEVER skip leg day!

Use free weights. Then you get to work arms and abs.

We talk amongst our friends about which women have great bodies. You best believe if and when that shirt comes off, and they like what they see, they will be talking about it amongst their friends as well, whether it be from swimming, sex, etc.

You shouldn't tailor your workout to look good for girls. You workout to be healthy, fit and happy.

I wear pants all the time. Should probably skip legs too /s

Glutes through Weighted Hip Thrusts (along with romanian deadlifts, squat and deadlift of course but hip thrusts really gave me size quickly.) Google Bret Conteras for this. He has tons of other good info to.

TFW arms are twigs with 6 inch wrists but every other part of body is average or above sized.

It's all about what you're trying to achieve. I enjoy this infographic

I like to go hardmode, no abs not ripped and still doing great.

Luckyluke23 · 2016-09-20T04:12:11+00:00

the way I see it is, you don't want your stomach to be around. that's why I'm going to loose fat and not worry about getting the abs just yet.

sexualsidefx · 2016-09-20T05:23:08+00:00

I hate this thread and curl babbies

sickm4n · 2016-09-20T07:29:46+00:00

Yeah that's true but when you think Julien from RSD it's skinny as fuck and he pulls girls like a charm haha

Agreed but I live in a tropical location with a lot of young international tourists. My shirt is hardly ever on and abs in those circumstances as long as you do not have a couple twigs attached to your shoulders outweighs big arms.

Why? Because it is on the whole, harder to get abs and also because it is rarer plus the fact if you are at a low enough BF level to see abs then even medium sized arms are going to appear large.

I also find that vascularity around the shoulders and arms have a bigger impact than a mass of tissue that is undefined and unshapely.

There is also a big jump in definition to getting attention. I can always see my abs these days & they are not shadow abs but have depth to them however, if I work my backside off for about 6 weeks and eat the exact right amount of food along with taking a course of dnp then at the end of that they are rock hard with very little fat. Basically I get attention from every woman that notices me not only that I get guys checking to ensure their partners are not checking me out - that has never happened to me before.

Also guys if they are in a group will aware each other of me walking past and discuss various topics such as weights or "checkout this old fuck" that sort of thing which I take as a compliment because most guys in their 40s are invisible to both women and men in their 20s and I am not.

To summarise, if you are even an average sized male and have BF low enough to show defined abs then you will appear larger than you actually are and you will look better than someone who just has big arms especially if there are no veins that appear when relaxed.

Of course if you are from a cold climate then pretty much even fat dudes will sometimes look better in 6 layers of clothing compared to someone that looks after themselves but really that should not be the focus.

I like guys with abs more (: just saying

Lordoftheintroverts · 2016-09-19T23:11:24+00:00

No. Abs are everything. You cannot run, sit, stand, walk, lift, do ANYTHING without your abdominal muscles. If you think your abs are strong enough, you're wrong they can be stronger. I herniated a disc earlier this year after I thought my abs were strong enough. Wrong. I was sent back to square one but at least now I know where my weakness is. Always train abs, there are so many reasons to.

NotMyBestEffort · 2016-09-20T19:04:47+00:00

You open with "Everyone wants a six pack" "this is true" "I wont tell you it isn't" - If your shirt is on 99% percent of the time, you gave up on your abs - because it is HARD. Stop making excuses.

You can have your dad bod on the way to fit. If that is enough for you, fine. But, please stop trying to convince anyone here that women will be more attracted to Jonah Hill than Brad Pitt.

Ironchar · 2016-09-20T01:45:03+00:00

Don't get a six pack? Fuck off with that shit.

Don't listen to this guy, I've had a six pack since I was in grade school and every girl I've ever been with gets extremely insecure when my shirt comes off.

Low body fat is the way to go, don't let yourself get talked out of it, you want to be shredded.

ciudad_gris · 2016-09-19T22:24:34+00:00

I actually don't like to have a visible six pack. Too metro for me.
