When it comes to the perfect male physique<\/a>, our thoughts often return to a certain Hollywood icon’s V-line abs in\u00a0Fight Club<\/a>. There\u2019s good reason Brad Pitt’s body in that movie inspired\u00a0a TikTok trend: he\u2019s lithe yet muscular, slim but with some size. And, of course, he has the prized V-line shape to his abs<\/a>. You may also remember a similar set of muscles from that era, on the singer D’Angelo in his video<\/a> for \u201cUntitled (How Does It Feel).\u201d They’re the ultimate sign of a dialed-in fitness routine. But just what are they, and how can you get them?<\/p>\n

What are V lines?<\/p>\n

\u201cV lines are where the obliques meet the transversus abdominis muscles. They are only visible when you have a very low body fat percentage<\/a>, which can either mean 11% or lower for men, and 14% or lower for women,\u201d explains\u00a0David Wiener, a training and nutrition specialist at the AI-based fitness coaching app\u00a0Freeletics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wiener says that\u00a0V lines are \u201chighly sought after\u201d\u2014and require a lot of effort and commitment to achieve. Doing 50 sit-ups<\/a> three times a week will not get your there.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best way to work towards this goal is through a calorie deficit, targeted training and the right mind-set,\u201d Wiener explains, adding that \u201csome people may not find this a sustainable way to live, and therefore it can make achieving and keeping V lines unattainable.\u201d<\/p>\n

We have to stress this last part. While we all have obliques and transversus abdominis muscles, having visible V lines isn\u2019t \u201cnormal\u201d by any stretch of the word. Getting them requires pushing beyond your limitations and taking your workout routine to the next level. And the benefits are purely aesthetic.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore, a low body fat percentage doesn\u2019t necessary equate to optimum health,\u201d Wiener says. \u201cI would advise seeking professional opinion with your regime. And, genetics can either mean it’s easier to achieve, or a much harder task.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stay consistent<\/p>\n

V lines\u00a0are doable, as long as you\u2019re willing to put the work in, and stick with it. \u201cA lot of people assume reducing body fat is a really hard process, but as long as you are focusing on good nutrition<\/a> while staying in a calorie deficit, and participate in a good training regime, you will see results,\u201d says Wiener.<\/p>\n

Find your drive<\/p>\n

Once you know your motivation, make sure you keep it top of mind stay as you pursue your goal week after week. \u201cGaining V lines doesn\u2019t mean putting 110% into your intensity of workouts, but rather 110% into your commitment for a lifestyle change, and the amount of time and motivation you put into your regime,\u201d Wiener says. Knowing why you\u2019re doing it will help when your commitment wavers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When it comes to the perfect male physique, our thoughts often return to a certain Hollywood icon’s V-line…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":112126,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[41044,2752,337,97,5210,673,11657],"class_list":{"0":"post-299805","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-affiliate-disabled","9":"tag-digital_syndication","10":"tag-fitness","11":"tag-health","12":"tag-textbelowcenterfullbleed","13":"tag-wellness","14":"tag-working-out"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=299805"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299805\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=299805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=299805"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=299805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
