Getting Ripped

So you want to get shredded. You want to impress the women, and you want to walk around, shirt off, ready to show the world your six pack of glory.

Well it is possible, and probable, as long as you follow these steps:

Step 1. Get off your ass, and start running. No matter how much muscle you have, if it's covered in a layer of fat, nobody is going to see it. Start running. Work up to the 5k run. And don't tell me that is to much, it actually isn't and you should be able to do the 5 k run in 30 minutes. Don't start off at that, but make the 5k run a goal. You can also ride a bike, play sports. To get shredded, you need to get the cardio in.

Step 2. To get shredded, you need to build muscle. You could have no fat on you at all, but you'll look like a twig if you don't have muscle on you. Hit the weights. Try to stick with compound exercises that hit more then one muscle. Make sure you incorporate the big exercises. Bench, Squats, Deadlift, Shoulder Press, Barbell Rows. These will get you get you shredded quickly.

Step 3. Eat properly. You need to eat all 3 types of macro nutrients if you are to get shredded. Carbohydrates, Protein, and Fats. Try to eat fifty percent crabs, thirty five percent protein, and fifteen percent fat. Best way is to take you plate, divide half of it into things like veggies, breads, fruits, a little more then a quarter with meat products like chicken, fish, beef. And the last little bit you can leave empty because it is easy to get all the fats you'll need and they will be in the other food you are eating.

Step 4. Get proper sleep. Most doctors will say you only need 6 hours of sleep, and in reality that is fine if your not working out. But if your working out and getting shredded, building muscle, and burning fat, you need 8 hours of sleep. But if that is hard to get because you are busy, make sure you get the 6 hours of sleep, and try to catch up on the weekend. Sleep is the biggest recovery period for your body. All that muscle you ripped is getting repaired while you sleep, and growing bigger.

Step 5. Allow ample recovery time for your muscles. Don't work out the same muscle two days in a row. At the minimum, work out a muscle, skip a day, and work it out again. I like to work out a muscle one to two times a week. At the max, make sure a muscle is worked out at least once a week.

Step 6. If Losing Fat: Make sure your calorie intake is lower then your calorie use. This will make sure the body will pull from the fat in your body and slowly burn it up. Only drop like 200 calories a day. Any more and your body will start eating its muscle which is much easier to digest.

If getting shredded: If you are a skinny guy trying to get shredded, make sure your eating more calories then you burn, this will give your body energy to build muscle. If your a fat guy focusing on muscle, try to eat less, or maintain calorie intake. The reason is, your body has lots of energy to pull from to build muscle- your fat. You can lose the fat and build muscle at the same time for a while, but as your fat slowly starts to burn away, you'll want to maintain it so your body can maintain it. After a while you'll need to separate fat burning from muscle building to get a good results and get shredded.

I hope this will help you all get shredded.
