Mens solutions- mens health V-shape

Build a swimmers V-shaped upper body in three moves

Pull up- muscles worked: latissimus dorsi, core muscles
Grab a bar and allow your legs t hang, palms facing forwards. Pull your body up until your chest reaches the bar( gentle touch).
Cable rear lateral raise- muscles worked: shoulder abductors, external rotators, scapular retractors, elbow extensors
With your right knee closest to the cable machine, support yourself on your right hand and grab the handle with your left hand. Pull it across your body until your left arm is extended. Change position and repeat with your right hand.
Cable face pull- muscles worked: latissimus dorsi, trapezius, rhomboids, teres minor, infrasinatus, posterior delts
Grab a rope attachment on a cable machine. Hold each side with one hand. Pull the rope towards your face until the handles touch your ears. Your shoulder blades should be pulled back and down. Each pull should be preceded by a scapular retraction.
