that V-shape around waste

[zlffjebdhf]

My question is what part of muscle group do you have to work to get that V thing around the waste. not exactly around the waste but it goes from your lower waste to i guess around your genitals. first of all i know you have to be lean but at the same time just being lean doesnt always give you that i dont think. is it genetics? or u have to work on some particular muscles? cuz i know that some guys have it more distinctively than others.

Some of it is genetics, but most guys can achieve this if there BF% is low enough and you do enough abdominal work. Doing crunches wont get you there, you need to work on various angled leg raises, along with hitting your obliques (inner and outer).

and you have to work on hip flexors too

both of the things you mentioned, how do i work on them? squats? never done squats before. i only did upper body and only lower legs... i guess that's not good. also when you work your abs since u get better w/ the leg raise thing.. you have to do like 20 to get tired so is there a way to work abs using weight?

shoulders and lats especially will help create that picture.

I wasn't talking about the v-shape of the torso. the one that goes from the very low waist to the gnital area.

[Maxgain]

yes but this will help enhance an illusioin if you are finding it difficult to get

actually i never really tried cuz i dont' know how to work for it. anyways do you guys think that girls are turned on by muscular butt? im kinda worried that working my butt will give me a huge ass.

You should try some hanging leg raises. Support yourself like you're doing a pullup and then slowly raise your legs until they stick out at 90 degrees. hold them and then slowly lower. Don't swing them. Do them in 4's or 5's at first and build up.

What Mike said. That's about the only way to really hit that area, but be sure to do them at an angle to, not just straight up and down.

Isn't that working the abdominal muscles?

Yes, but it works primarily the lower abdominals as well as the hip flexors and obliques. Your upper abs do get worked, but not like they do if you were doing situps or crunches. Just trust us, it works.

[JMike]

And it's really important to do them with control. Don't worry if you can only do a couple at a time. If you start swinging your legs you're not going to be doing anything to help. Slow and controlled both when you're raising and when you're bringing your legs down and you'll notice improvements fast.

Try Russian Twists. Work your way up to heavy weights. I think they have helped me with the muscles you are referring to.
