Crazy V-Taper!
When it comes to aesthetics in bodybuilding you’d be hard pressed to find anyone that would argue against the statement that the classic era sported some of the best physiques in the endeavor’s history. Back in the day, while muscle was celebrated greatly, a proportioned and tight physique was appreciated above all else. The bodybuilders that dominate today’s open weight division would never be considered top flight competitors during the Golden Era, not because they are out of shape, but simply because they wouldn’t fit into the criteria of desired aesthetics. Someone who would be considered a top flight competitor however is none other than Artemus Dolgin.
While he may be a bit of a polarizing figure to some, one thing that can’t be denied is that Artemus Dolgin has an incredible physique. He has broad shoulders, a tapered waist, and looks to be cut out of granite. Perhaps the biggest highlight of his physique is his nonexistent midsection, a staple of a true classic bodybuilder.
Back in the day if your V-Taper sucked then you weren’t shown any love on the bodybuilding scene. Artemus Dolgin is an advocate for Golden Age aesthetics and as such has always tried to shape his physique accordingly. He definitely has succeeded with that and has the insane V-Taper and strategy to prove it. Take a look at the Instagram posting below for a better idea of the method Artemus Dolgin uses for his waistline.
