What excercises can I do to get that area more defined?

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
That male V thing below the waist...

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
No, hes talking about the "v" shaped muscles that run down either side of the 6pack into the groin.
leg raises of various kinds, Also lying on you back and lifting your legs up to over your face (keeping them straight).
Those kind of exercises will tone the muscles up a bit, but I'm afraid the only real way to get more defination is to cut down your overall body fat %
good luck, Cure.

"Tone" usually refers to building some muscle mass and reducing bodyfat%, a small recomposition if you will. When most people say "tone" they have the correct image in their mind, but the word itself doesn't mean much.

This is a good response. Most guys will hold the "spare tire" around their lower abdomen... so this will hide the V. Getting lean, like in the single digit bf% is the best way to have this muscle be visible.Cure said:
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
good point, its a stupid word.Kerpal said:
Should have said- "doing these kind of exercises will increase muscle mass/density, leaving more muscle to show through once body fat is reduced"
Can "tone" mean that? its easier to type

I think it's at least partly genetics and the underlying bone structure of your hips.
I say this because seen guys with at least a partial bear gut that sort of have the v-shape, while at my leanest I was cut enough to have full six pack abs and you could see the ridges in my pecs from the muscle fiber bundles. I didn't even have a hint of the v at this time.

Thanks for the replies.
I did about 150 hanging leg lifts yesterday & I think it helped.
My bodyfat % is pretty low...I'm 5'8" & 150 lbs.

commonly known as "v-taper"... the back in general should be worked out using exercises that promote thickness and width. the v-taper emphasizes width, and using the lats, which flare out from underneath the arm pit to the lower back (generally). exercises for width would be lat pulldowns, pullups/chin ups, cable rows, machine rows, and deadlifts are also a great mass builder for your entire back. also, I'm a powerlifter and have a bit of lovehandles, I still have a bit of V-taper. When I drop more weight in this area, and by doing those exercises, your back looks bigger while your waist gets smaller... here is a good article, even though Dorian Yates' back is ridiculous...
