It is not necessarily a good figure to simply go to the gym to get a good figure. The gym is not necessarily full of good figures.

Conversely, some people have been going to the gym for a long time, and their figures are just so-so.

Some people are not focused on the figure, but enjoy the training. But more people are that they don't master the key points of body shaping.

That is, you can’t just work hard, but the direction of effort is equally important.

So in what direction should we work?

Controlling body fat is always the first thing.

Some people always send me a photo and ask me:

“Is it better to reduce fat or increase muscle now?”

Generally, as long as you have this idea, you should focus on losing weight or doing muscle gain and fat loss synchronization.

Of course, a more scientific way is to measure your body fat percentage. For men, body fat above 20% should lose weight, and for women, body fat above 25 should lose weight.

You can buy a body fat scale for a few dollars, and measure two parts, about the navel and the front of the thigh.

Controlling body fat is always the first thing. It doesn’t mean that being thinner is better, but if the body fat is high, it will definitely affect the figure.

Most people’s figure troubles are caused by too much fat. At this time, controlling diet is the most important.

For beginners, the shape is more important than the muscle.

So many people have been training for a long time, and their figures haven’t changed. You think they don’t work hard, but in fact, they may train for a long time every day, and the sweat they sweat is not less than others.

But the direction of effort is wrong. For beginners, the shape is more important than the muscle.

Some players go to the gym to train their abs, arms and shoulders, but even if you do it well, you can only be a mirror image. The figure change is not obvious.

Instead of focusing on the muscle of a certain part, it’s better to focus on the overall figure.

So how should we train the figure?

It’s very simple, it’s necessary to use squats, deadlifts, bench presses, etc. as the main exercises, focusing on the chest, back, legs, etc. large muscle groups.

When the large muscle groups get stronger, the small muscle groups will naturally get stronger. When squats, deadlifts and bench presses are done well, dumbbell flyes and seated leg extensions will naturally train very vigorously.

So the training plan for beginners usually only trains 4 parts, chest, back, legs, and shoulders. The selection of actions is mainly with barbell.

Boys train their backs, and girls train their hips.

Boys’ figure changes are more obvious in the upper limbs, and the stronger the upper limbs, the better the triangular figure.

So boys go to the gym to strengthen their back muscles. The wider the back, the better the figure.

Girls’ training focuses on the lower body, i.e. the waist and hip ratio is more important.

So some female coaches train their legs twice a week, in order to create a perfect waist and hip and leg ratio.

Of course, you should not focus on one part, and you shouldn’t sacrifice another part for it. For example, if boys focus on upper limb training, they don’t need to train their legs, the strength of their back muscles will also decline, such as barbell rows, you can’t do it well.

The same is true for girls. If you don’t train your back, you can’t lift the strength of squats and deadlifts, so training also needs to be comprehensive.

In simple terms, boys train their backs twice a week, and girls train their legs twice a week, to do this.

Posture and body shape will greatly affect the figure.

In fact, it should be considered as the first thing because posture affects the figure the most. It’s not only because of poor posture that affects the figure, but also because of poor posture, the training effect will be discounted or reversed.

There are many types of bad posture, such as hunchback, drooping neck, rounded shoulders, high shoulder, low shoulder, pelvic tilt, pelvic posterior tilt, pelvic side tilt, spinal curvature, O-shaped legs, X-shaped legs, outer ankle inversion, outer foot inversion, etc.

Different postures have different correction methods, you can directly search for these problems, don’t look at our recommended articles.

Improving bad posture is more important than controlling body fat. When your posture is improved, your figure will also present better changes, and the training effect will be greatly improved.

Today’s content is just an overview of the four key points of a good figure. As for the detailed solutions, you can go to search.
