Diet to bring your taper out in 8 weeks, training your back and shoulders 3 x per week isn't going to do much
No need for a full back session 3x a week, 3 smaller sessions yes (for example a few sets of rows and a few sets up pull-ups at the end of 3 different sessions). But shoulders, especially for the width, laterals 3x a week especially if you're only doing them once or twice could do you a world of good. Personally i do 4-5 sets 2-3x a week of laterals when i was them to blow up, but i get pain doing that much volume on the medial delt so i cut it back for the sake of my bench.Quote:

If I fully trained back 3x/ week, I would be out of commission for a week afterwards.Quote:

Very true actually, you're going to get much more in the way of a V-taper over 8 weeks by leaning down, putting on muscle for a V-taper is a more long-term process.Quote:

You're training is going to give you long term effects, i.e. size, width and muscle growth. You can't accomplish what your looking for in 8 weeks and maintain it just by training. You'll accomplish your short term visual goal by dieting to lose your midsection. Don't do side bends because they can add to your midsection width. Some form of torso twists will aid in thinning the midsection.Quote:
