Frame & Shoulder Impression
The overall structural impression of the body, dominated by shoulder-to-waist contrast.
Frame is the silhouette signal — primarily shoulder width relative to waist. Building the deltoids and upper back while maintaining a lean waist creates the classic V-taper that reads as athletic and balanced. Clothing fit can amplify or undermine this.
Frame anchors how clothing sits and how the body reads at a glance.

- Develop shoulders and upper back
- Maintain a lean waist
- Wear well-fitted clothing
- Buy clothes that fit the shoulders
- Progressive resistance training
- Neglecting the upper back
- Oversized clothing that hides the taper
