Handsome guys with torsos. Naked male torsos of celebrities

It's no secret that in modern reality The cult of a healthy body is gaining more and more popularity, and more and more attention is being paid to physical fitness. Every year new trends appear in this regard, and new phenomena acquire cult status.

A beautiful, well-developed torso is one of the most important conditions for good physical shape today. In terms of the amount of effort applied during training, it can only compete with the muscles of the legs and buttocks, which are now no less fashionable to train.

From anatomy lessons

From this point of view, the torso is top part body excluding head and arms. Starting from the neck, it ends at the level of the lower lumbar region and is, in fact, the most accurate indicator of a person’s build.

Another understanding

However, in modern Russian, the torso is not only the actual torso. This definition is also commonly understood as a type of sculpture depicting it. Such manifestations of art were most popular during Antiquity, when the cult beautiful body was maximally developed.

Inner and outer beauty

For the ancient Greeks, aesthetics had a very great importance, the beauty of form was given maximum attention. That is why this has come to this day great amount all kinds of sculptures depicting the human body. Antique torso is one of their most popular varieties.

The whole point is that for the Greeks outer beauty was equivalent to inner beauty, and accordingly, the aesthetic properties of not only objects, but also people were of very great importance. Ugly face or the body were characteristic features bad character and a dark mind, which is what the features of the image are associated with negative characters Ancient mythology.

Male and female options

As a rule, when mentioning a term about which we're talking about in this article, the torso of a guy appears in the mind, which is not surprising, since such ideas are directly related to the cultural characteristics of human development.

The same Antiquity was characterized by much greater attention specifically to male appearance, not to mention the fact that in many countries a woman, until the 19th century, was considered an inanimate object and unworthy of attention.

A man, on the contrary, was supposed to be the embodiment of strength and courage. And accordingly, have a powerful physique and well-developed muscles (including the upper body).

The question of ideal proportions

Of course, in this regard there is a fair amount of subjectivity, which simply cannot be avoided. However, if you look back into the past, you can notice certain trends in relation to aesthetic appreciation. Having analyzed the features of the sculpture that has survived to this day, we can say that in Antiquity a relatively dry body with well-developed muscles and precise proportions was considered ideal.

During the Renaissance, which revived the culture of images human body, the requirements for the aesthetic component in this regard were less stringent. Sculpture and painting of the Renaissance, as a rule, are distinguished by a rather smooth depiction of the human body, not devoid of a certain percentage of fat deposits.

If you look at a typical female torso of this era, the fact of preference as models for ladies who have a clear overweight. Especially if you compare the shapes with those that are fashionable today.

Antique sculpture of modern times

Despite the fact that times ancient Greece ended a long time ago, the legacy of this era remains with us to this day. Torso mannequins are a clear confirmation of this. IN modern world they are, however, besides aesthetic function They also have an exclusively practical purpose: the correct shape best demonstrates the advantages of cut and material.

Another area of ​​use of such devices is martial arts, in which dummies of this type are used to practice punches.

Ideal today

As mentioned earlier, these days the cult of a healthy, beautiful body is becoming increasingly popular. Many of us are ready to spend our days in gyms to achieve an ideal result. What exactly is he?

If we analyze the photos of the torso that occupy the first positions on the Internet, we can identify two main trends: a large number of muscle mass and the desire for very distinct forms. Of course, this rule applies more to men, because for the fair sex today it is much more necessary to have a toned stomach with barely visible cubes of the abdominal region.

In the case of men, the torso muscles should be expressed as well as possible. This is especially true for the muscles of the thoracic and abdominal regions, the development of which is given maximum attention today.

Errors in training programs

As a rule, when it comes to developing the muscles of the upper body, all kinds of pull-ups, push-ups and crunches, called as if by a wave, most often come to mind magic wand get rid of excess fat deposits and create a clear relief. A person far from the world of bodybuilding and proper training, most often starts with just such a program and, which is quite natural, does not get the desired result.

For the correct, organic development of the muscles of the upper body, an integrated approach is required, including several types of dumbbell and barbell presses and high-quality exercises using a block simulator and parallel bars.

No less important in this regard is the system of performing these exercises: their selection, combination and the number of repetitions and approaches during execution. In fact, the same type of effort, depending on the conditions, can be used for both muscle building and the cutting process. The key role in this regard is played by the number of repetitions and speed of performing an exercise.

Summer is coming to an end, but we can always dream about vacations, hot countries and handsome handsome men on the beaches. For inspiration - a selection of the best “hot” torsos from your favorite actors. Topless, of course!

After the movie "Fellow Travelers" he turned more than one girl's head, and how can you take your eyes off such a torso! What can I say if at one time I myself could not resist this body!

Film "With Wide" eyes closed“replete with explicit scenes, so he often appeared naked in the frame. To the delight of numerous fans of the actor’s talent, eyes and torso.

Now, of course, he’s not as pumped up as in the movie “I Am Legend,” but that doesn’t stop us from remembering those times and admiring the actor’s impressive biceps.

James Bond must be good everywhere: behind the wheel, on a dangerous mission, in a bar and even on the beach. in the film "Casino Royale" he coped with this task perfectly.

Most of the film "Troy" featured the hero Achilles in armor, but, fortunately for the actor's fans, there were also explicit scenes in the film.

Young and Matt Davis in "Tiger Country" they played the difficult roles of soldiers training in a military camp before being sent to Vietnam. But many girls remember the naked bodies of the actors much more than their dialogues.

Looking at the hero Paul Walker in the film "Welcome to Paradise", the heroine who traded for him normal life to “heaven in a hut,” one could easily understand: this body was worth it!

However, the film was generally rich in male nudity, because the action in it develops mainly on the beach. This is how the hero, for example, sported it Scott Caan.

The star of the series “Gossip Girl” became the subject of girls’ dreams for a reason. Even in the film “Stepfather,” the actor showed everything that nature and long training in the gym have given him.

Here, in the film "Good Will Hunting" he is still very young, but how romantic! This cross alone, touchingly swaying on your bare chest, is worth it.

Another young man with a burning gaze in our selection - Josh Hartnett. In the film "The Virgin Suicides", his hero, albeit indirectly, becomes the cause of the death of a girl. An excellent choice of actor for the role of the first guy in the village!

About Indiana Jones Harrison Ford dreamed of by millions of women, especially after the film “What Lies Beneath.” Here the actor’s hero is not at all young, but many spectators would not refuse to be in Michelle Pfeiffer’s place. What a look, what hands!

This man only gets prettier over the years, and therefore he is not at all embarrassed to undress in films. In "Solaris" he won our hearts and the heart of the heroine Olivia Wilde.

The main advantages, many are sure, are his boundless charm and sense of humor. But we know that the actor has something to brag about. Which is what he did in the film "Sherlock Holmes".

The actor has great dramatic talent, but this does not prevent us from appreciating not only his acting, but also his form - in the film “The Talented Mister Ripley” he convincingly proved that he has it. And what a smile!

The heroes are equally good at breaking up both girls and men's hearts. In the film "Tristan and Isolde" it becomes clear why.

Who inspires you? We are waiting for your comments and preparing the second part of the review!
