Get wide, look narrow: Cover story create the appearance of a tight, slim waist with our three-part plan - Personal Trainer - Brief Article
Men's Fitness, May, 2002
Life isn't always fair. Whether it's Billy Bob Thornton hooking up with Angelina Jolie, or that guy at the gym who's 25 pounds lighter than you yet still manages to have a better V-taper (it's not your fault, you were born big-boned), sometimes that's just how things are.
While there's probably little hope of enhancing your chances of getting cozy with a seductively lipped film star, with a little bit of specialized training you can elude genetics and create the illusion of a tight-waisted V-taper. All you have to do is build up your chest and shoulders.

That's what this special expanded Body Shop is all about. We're delivering a two-part program, along with a nutrition component, that gives you a fighting chance at broadening that upper body so that your waist suddenly looks like it's much narrower.
First we provide a complete chest-thickening workout that relies on moves you've probably never done before--which will help if your chest training has turned stale and boring. New moves mean new muscle growth.
Second is a shoulder workout courtesy of Anthony Gray, trainer of NBA star guard Allan Houston. One look at Houston's deltoids and you'll know why we believe Gray's program will work for you. Never mind that Houston's delts help make him a three-point-shooting ace on the court--he's wide, wide, wide.
Replace your existing delt-and-pec workout with these regimens, and you'll be well on your way to a beach-ready body that will cast a large, V-shaped shadow.
