How To Get Ripped

Q: how to get ripped

A: Getting muscular and very lean at the same time takes a long time for most people. You need to learn how to successfully bulk (which is when you gain muscle while trying to minimize fat gains) and cut (when you trying to lose fat while trying to preserve the muscle you have). Then you need to go on alternating bulking and cutting cycles. While you bulk you'll gain muscle and some fat (some fat gain when gaining weight is virtually unavoidable). While you cut you lose fat and some muscle (some muscle loss when losing fat is expected when you already have fairly low body fat). So at the end of every bulk-cut pair you should have a little more muscle than before and a little less fat. Then you keep repeating as long as necessary. It's not a fast process -- expect it to take years to get truly ripped.

To learn how to successfully bulk and cut, read my nutrition and weight training articles until you fully understand them. Then you can fill out fitness guide specifying 'Lose Fat' (for cut) or 'Gain Muscle' (for bulk) to get starter programs which you can customize for yourself.
