To have a world class fitness body, you must be muscular of course, symmetrical
and balanced, have a well defined six-pack but most importantly, you must be ripped
and shredded to the bone! If you do not know how to get ripped fast than we are
about to discuss how weight training, proper nutrition and aerobic exercise will
assist in getting a ripped, beach worthy body by next summer.
Determine Where You Are Starting Before You Start To Get Ripped
If you do not have the ripped body of your dreams than
you are either one of two people:
1. The 'big guy' at the gym who looks huge in clothes but has no muscle definition
when the shirt comes off. You are training like a bodybuilder, eating in a caloric
surplus, getting stronger and bigger each week but would never win a fitness model
show because of your excess body fat.
2. Or, are you the 'skinny guy' who thinks he is ripped because your veins are popping
out of your tank top, but have no muscle mass to support your frame. Sure, your
veins make you look 'ripped' to the bike club but this false sense of 'big' would
only get you laughed off a bodybuilding stage.
To get ripped, you must determine whether you need to start leaning down through
a fat loss program or else add muscle mass with a bulking program. You can not be
ripped if you are lacking muscle mass or lacking muscle defintion. Don't chase both
goals at once. I will address how both categories can learn how to get ripped fast
with weight training, nutrition and cardio.
How To Get Ripped With Weight Training
• Skinny guys should train less than 45 minutes each workout.
• Skinny guys should focus on only compound movements and no isolated movements.

day program.

caloric expenditure.
• Bulky guys can incorporate more isolated movements for caloric expenditure.
• Bulky guys should still maintain there strength which will ensure no muslce
loss.

expenditure.
