Ok, since my two shows I have taken inventory on which parts need work. The owner of our gym (also an NPC judge, and national pairs bodybuilding champ) said I need to work on widening up my V taper for the show this fall. He said he and a couple of the other judges were talking and they said my back was awesome except I need some more width. He said I'm what the judges refer to as an H body type. In other words I don't have curves LOL....my rib cage, my waist, my hips, allll pretty much go straight down. I should probably be happy about that since I don't have a big ol' Bertha butt or saddle bags LOL, but regardless I need to widen that back up some to offset my H body type. I currently do wide grip pulldowns, close grip seated rows on the cables, dumb bell rows (recently added), 45 degree cable pull downs, and half deadlifts (also recently added). Not always all of those every workout or in that order.Anyone have anything good to add to these? I have gone up in my weights this week and I'm definately concentrating on good form, slow lift and release, and a good squeeze. Any suggestions would be great.
