How To Get Ripped - 5 Ways to Get Ripped Fast
So many people want to learn the secrets about getting ripped fast. The problem is that most people don't know how to do it and most of the advice available is rubbish. This article will break down 3 tips for getting lean and cut. Furthermore these tips will help you reduce your time spent in the gym.
I have always been your average looking guy. No abs, no bulging biceps. Just your average guy with a few extra pounds round the waist who doesn't get any attention at the beach.
Well one day I was sick of being average.
But everywhere I looked and everybody I asked kept giving me the same of standard answers.
They would tell me to do squats, bench press and dead lifts.
Now this information is fine for those people wanted to become big and bulky like a bodybuilder. But I didn't.
I wanted to be lean and ripped.
I wanted to attract women. And most women love guys who are ripped and cut with good sized muscle, as opposed to those guys who have huge biceps and chests but also have big guts.
After a lot of research I came across a program called "Visual Impact Muscle Building" by Rusty Moore. As soon as I started reading what Rusty had to say, I knew that I had come to the right place.
Here are 3 super tips that I learnt from Rusty to help get super cut.
1. The first step in creating a jaw dropping body is to cut your body fat. You are simply not going to impress anyone with 15% body fat. The goal for most guys is to get below 10% body fat. In order to do that, you have to get your diet in check. Protein in large quantities is the key. Rusty suggests foods like tuna, chicken, steak, salmon, beef and protein shakes. To go with the protein you should eat complex carbs like brown rice and bread, oat meal and potatoes.
2. Once you start eating right, you will be amazed at your results. Eating is over 75% of the battle. However it is not 100%. In order to drop your body fat and get ripped, you also have to workout right. To get lean and ripped you need to incorporate both cardio and weight training.
Rusty's favorite types of cardio workouts is high intensity interval training. This simply means that for a certain period of time (perhaps 2 minutes to start with) you will go at about 75% intensity. Then for the next 2 minutes you will go 100% intensity. Then back to 75% and so on for 20 minutes at a time. I like to do high intensity interval training on rowing machines, trend mills, bikes or cross trainers.
You should also do weight training to build muscle and develop those important cuts. You don't just want to be skinny. Varying up your rep and set schemes every few weeks is super important for growth and development. E.g. for 3 weeks perform 3 sets of 10 reps, then for the next 3 weeks perform 6 sets of 3 reps with heavier weights.
3. This is my favorite tip that I learnt from Rusty. It's called the "Shrink Wrap Effect". The absolute key to looking amazing is to cut at least 3 months out from your goal. A lot of people want to look great for summer so they start doing some workouts a month out from summer and wonder why they don't look their best.
You want to cut earlier so that you skin has time to shrink down and fit super tight around your body. Then when your skin is super tight, you want to build an extra 5-10 pounds of muscle. This will give you that look of your muscles literally bulging out of your body.
The key to add this muscle is to do a lot of volume training (lots of reps and sets) and to eat a lot of good proteins.
This shrink wrap effect will make you look amazing!
I have trained on the "Visual Impact Muscle Building" program for a couple of months now and the results have been like dynamite. From looking like every other average guy, I now actually stand out when I'm walking a long the beach.
Girls want to take photos with me and ask if they can touch my abs.
Talk about an ego booster!
It may sound corny but the new found confidence I have is truly amazing.
In 3 months of training using Rusty's workout program I lost close to 13 pounds of fat, over 3 inches from my waist, and dropping from 16% to 9% body fat.
My arms and chest are not overly huge like a bodybuilders but they are muscular and have decent cuts in the right places. And overall I have achieved my goal of looking super ripped.
This is what appeals to me and to the ladies.
