How to Build an Aesthetic V-Taper Body Even If You Have Bad Genetics

Of the 6 years I took to build my dream body — 4 were a waste. Swayed by “Eat Big to get big” and discouraged by “V-Taper’s all genetics, brah!” I hogged myself to a plump chump. Overcompensating, I starved myself to a near-anorexic zombie. Playing ping-pong with my body shook me awake. Coupling religious self-study and disciplined effort, I finally built an aesthetic V-taper physique. Boy, was it worth it!

Also, the online sea of “bro-science” and misinformation.</li> </ul> <a href="https://medium.com/in-fitness-and-in-health/how-to-build-an-aesthetic-v-taper-body-even-if-you-have-bad-genetics-60eae39830d3">Read More</a>
