V-Taper Blueprint

Intermediate40 min~420 kcalBackShoulders

A 40-minute session aimed squarely at the V-taper: wide up top, narrow at the waist. Wide-grip pull-ups and two pulldown variations build lat width, reverse T-bar rows fill in the mid-back, cable lateral raises widen the delts, and hanging knee raises finish the core.

Width comes from a full stretch at the top of every vertical pull — let the arms straighten completely before you pull. Rest 90 seconds on pull-ups, 45 on the raises. Lateral raises belong in a back workout here for one reason: shoulder width frames everything the lats do.
