How To Get Ripped In 2 Simple Steps

With summer on the way it’s time to kick back and relax at the beach or just hang out in the sun. This means one thing for any serious weightlifter: It’s time to take off your shirt and showcase your ripped physique that you have been working on all winter long. You want your friends to ask you how to get ripped and build muscle like you, but you can’t very well answer them if you’re walking around with a flabby, soft and smooth body. It’s time to shift into “ripped” mode.

If you ask most trainers they will most likely tell you that using heavy weights will build bulk and using lighter weights will help to define and bring out that ripped look to the muscle.

But do you really want to know the truth about how to get ripped? Do you want to know the facts behind lightweight vs heavy weight methods of building your physique?

What everyone commonly believes is completely, totally and utterly WRONG.

Don’t waste your time and slow your progress with this stupid way of thinking. There is no scientific basis for this type of weight training what so ever. This could not be further from the truth.

The truth is you can’t spot reduce. It is impossible to target any one specific area of your body for fat loss. Performing squats with light weights will not magically burn fat off your legs and make them look harder and more ripped.

Every time you go to the gym and you lift that dumbbell, barbell or cable you want to think about stimulating as much of the muscle fiber to grow as is humanly possible. Forget about the magic weightlifting routines that will target specific muscles and cause them to become more ripped.
 
You want to know how to get ripped? Train as hard as you can using a combination of compound and isolation exercises and vary the sets and reps that you perform each workout.

So, then how do you get more definition?

The only way to get that “Ripped” muscular look is by lowering your overall fat levels, which will help to define each and every muscle in your body. There are two ways you can do this effectively.

1) Change your diet.

Lower your overall caloric intake to approximately 15 times your overall bodyweight and begin eating five to six smaller meals throughout the day. This will naturally raise your body’s metabolic rate and help to keep your body in a constant fat burning state. Reduce the amount of sugar and saturated fats and start eating carbohydrates with low glycemic levels. It is also important to consume high quality lean protein at least 6 times a day. Make sure you only consume about 30 grams of protein at any one time because your body can’t assimilate any more than this. Also make sure that you drink plenty of water to hydrate and lubricate your muscles and connecting tissues.

2) Start doing your cardio workouts differently.

Forget about the age old methods of cardio workouts of the 30 to 45 minutes of moderate intensity. In order to get the most out of your cardio workouts and to minimize the muscle loss associated with a fat burning routine you need to focus on shorter and higher intensity cardio workouts. Try doing a series of wind sprints instead of the boring stationary bike. This will increase your resting metabolism and will burn even more fat while maintaining the integrity of the muscle you have built over the months.
I suggest 4 - 6 high intensity cardio sessions each week, spaced at least 8 hours apart from your muscle building workouts.

That’s as simple as it gets people. You want to know how to get ripped? Forget about the lightweight and higher reps and concentrate on your diet and increasing the intensity of your cardio workouts. If you continue to do the same things over and over again and you are expecting different results you are just fooling yourself.

All you need to do to learn how to get ripped for the summer is this:

1) Keep training with moderately heavy weights and low repetitions using compound exercises to build maximum muscle mass.

2) Change your diet and modify your cardio workouts to eliminate body fat and create visibly harder and more lean ripped muscles.

End of story!

I’ll see you ripped at the beach!
