Default What muscles to look fit

I work out about 3-4 times a week to stay healthy, but also to look good. If I am wearing a T-shirt or dress shirt with pants, what muscles are the most important to looking awesome?

As knowledgable as you seem, I don't think this is usually looked at as the "money muscle" is it? I would think he would want to go for a broad-shoulder, narrow waist, "V-taper" kind of thing. Most importantly it would seem taht you would want to go for a full-body toning, quads, calves, biceps, triceps, and shoulders, for lean (not bulky) mass.

That was probably highly helpful.... [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

This is why I made the thread. I know calves won't, and I doubt quads will make any difference in how you look in a T-[censored] and jeans/khakis. They may be important in overall fitness and athletic ability, but that is another thing.

You really can't beat a pumped xiphoid process.

forearms are the only muscles that you can visibly see in a tee shirt, and it's not terribly hard to get them conditioned.


other than that, i'd say have a lean waist and built shoulders.

amplify,
what is a xiphoid process?

TxRedMan,
If I do shoulder press will that be enough for my shoulders? Is there one part of the shoulder (anterior, medial, posterior) that is more important?
