Well I am a powerlifter, but I can tell you in order to drop weight you need to adjust the diet, and the V-shape is highly genetic. Small waist, wide clavicles type deal ... Best advice is to lay off the heavy squats/deads and work on laterals/wide grip pull ups, & pullovers ... Also, ditch all ab work ... This should help give you a V shape by shrinking the waist and widening the lats and side delts ... but IMO, the V aint that important.
