"The first thing that men and women notice on a physique typically is shoulders."
Chris Miller competed in the amateur Olympia last September and is now debating crossing over into the Classic physique division. Regardless of division the v taper complete with full round deltoid development is a pre requisite to hitting the stage.
Here, we link up with Chris back in Texas at the Better Bodies North American headquarters and get a brief recap of his experience at the amateur Olympia and thus his thoughts around switching to competing in classic physique. His main take aways with his shoulder training are to have:
1) Intensity ie your ability to push past pain/burn
2) Volume ie a variety of exercises and plenty of reps and sets
3) Low rest periods to maximize the blood volume intramuscularly
