How To Get Ripped What It Takes To Really Get Ripped t Jeff Bayer Share Tweet 690 SHARES 1
2 Page 1 of 2 For most guys in the gym, figuring out how to get ripped is a priority. Some just want to be "big," but they make up a very small group of the population. Most men want more: They want to not only be big, but also be lean enough that all of their muscle definition is visible. After all, for most of you, part of the reason for going to the gym is to help you look better. Learning how to get ripped will certainly accomplish that. But what does it take to get ripped? A proper diet? A specific exercise program? Or is there a supplement that holds the key to making the biggest difference? It takes time to get ripped. Unfortunately, it isn’t an overnight phenomenon and it will take a considerable amount of hard work, but if you approach this work smartly it’ll take far less time to get ripped than if you don't.
widowmaker asks
HEALTH What are some good single guy meals? Answer Now > Those who don't train with productive methods end up spending more time in the gym, but they see less drastic results. Be sure you keep the following in mind when you want to get ripped so you don’t become a part of that particular group of individuals.
Diet Potentially, the single most important factor in your quest to get ripped will be your diet. Getting lean is about 70% dietary effort, 20% proper workout programming technique, 5% psychological (because, let’s face it, temptation is around every corner), and 5% sheer determination. That said, don’t fall into the trap of thinking there is one single diet that is going to get you results. There are a number of very good diet setups out there that you can most definitely follow to achieve your goals.
Be certain that you are consuming fewer calories than you need to maintain your weight. Fat loss is really just a simple mathematical equation; it considers the compounding factors of where calories come from, times when your meals are being eaten, and so on. These are all personal preferences that help to determine whether or not you're able to stick with the diet in question.
If you don’t stick with the diet you aren’t losing fat, are you? So, whatever diet is going to be most comfortable for you, while still allowing you to eat hypo-calorically, is the one you should be following to get ripped.
The one exception would be protein intake, as you should be consuming a minimum of one gram per pound of body mass in order to prevent muscle loss. Losing weight is of no use if you aren’t losing fat weight. That’s the critical factor that will determine whether you end up looking like a smaller version of your current self at the end of the diet or a version that is leaner and appears more muscular.
Rather than giving you specific foods to eat, shoot for a calorie intake of between 10 and 12 multiplied by your body weight. This is a fairly good approximation of the calories you should be consuming for weight loss, along with one gram of protein per pound of body weight.
After that, aim for 15% of those remaining calories for fat (or higher, whatever your preference) and fill in the rest with carbs.
It should be clear, if you’ve ever tried dieting before, that certain foods will help satisfy your appetite better and keep your blood sugar levels under control (thus, preventing rebound hunger), so the more you can incorporate these types of foods the better the chances you’ll have when you try to get ripped.
Remember to take in some protein and carbohydrates around your workout period, for both muscle glycogen replenishment and to help give you the energy you need to get through the workouts in the first place.

Do you want a body like a Marvel superhero? Be prepared to eat—a lot.
In a recent interview with BuzzFeed [3], Chris Hemsworth’s stunt double, Bobby Holland Hanton, told the outlet that he has to eat 35 times a day to get “anywhere near [Hemsworth’s] size.” Henton, who claims that he also worked out twice a day to stay in superhero shape, previously told Muscle and Fitness [4] that his high-protein diet (which consisted of turkey, chicken, nuts, eggs and spinach) was a massive impediment to having a healthy social life: “It made me kind of unsociable in a way because you can’t go out with friends or family because you’re picking what you can and can’t [eat] in the menu. … It was a big challenge for me.”
Hanton’s interview illustrates the extreme pressures that men face to be as fit and as big as humanly possible. Following the success of “The Avengers,” and most recently “Captain America: Civil War,” a number of workout and diet regimens promise to help men look like Thor, Hawkeye and the Captain (in as little as six weeks!). These routines have become so widespread that as Muscle and Fitness reports, they are arguably more popular than the actors who popularized them: “The physique he built has made ‘Chris Hemsworth Workout’ the top search suggestion when you punch the actor’s name into Google.”
There are several [5] different [6] Marvel-themed programs that will help men seeking maximum muscularity achieve their fitness goals, many of which are prohibitively expensive. If the USDA estimated in 2016 that the average adult male aged 19-50 spends around $69.80 every week on food, that’s based on the expectation that these men eat around three meals a day—with perhaps a snack in between. Hanton eats 10 times that amount, meaning that a fitness enthusiast hoping to keep pace with his diet would spend $698 a week to do so. That comes out to $36,000 a year. That’s not even adding in the costs of paid programs like CrossFit, which commonly set members back around $200 each month.
In addition to the cost, there are a number of dangers to the Marvel plan. The first is overexertion: As Time [7] reported in February of last year, working out too much can actually be just as harmful for one’s health as working out too little. Researchers in Denmark found that “people who push their bodies too hard may essentially undo the benefit of exercise.” In the case of Gerard Butler, the famously grueling workout he was subjected to for “300” stopped him from exercising at all after the movie wrapped; he quit working out for a year. In a 2007 interview with Film Monthly [8], the Scottish actor claimed that he would never make the choice to put his body through that again.
Extreme fitness programs can be dangerous in a variety of ways: They are bad for your body [9], decrease life expectancy [10], and are associated with a high rate of injury. As fitness instructor Erin Simmons argued in a 2014 article on CrossFit [11], crash exercising can be a gift to doctors because it “means job security for medical professionals.” Simmons spoke with a number of “strength and conditioning coaches” about the rise of regimes like CrossFit and “not a single one of them” would recommend it. She continues, “These same athletic trainers warn every single athlete against CrossFit and tell them the health risks of being involved in it.”
With the extreme risks and financial burden associated with looking like Steve Rogers, it’s worth asking: Is this emphasis on getting big at all costs making us any happier? In 2015, a BBC [12] report noted that “bigorexia” (more accurately known as “muscle dysphoria”) is on the rise in young men. Rob Willson, who serves as the president of the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Foundation, told the BBC: “We know about 10 percent of men in the gym may have muscle dysmorphia.” Dr. Michele Kerulis of Adler School of Professional Psychology told The Daily Mail [13] that rate may be even higher: She claimed as many as 45 percent of frequent male gym goers male suffer from disordered body image.
by Anonymous | reply 22 | February 20, 2017 12:56 PM |
That estimate seems very high, but it’s impossible to ignore the fact that male body standards have changed dramatically since Superman looked like George Reeves, rather than a human action figure. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to build muscle mass or be fit, but it’s worth remembering that there’s a reason Chris Hemsworth has the ability to look like a Norse God: He’s paid to. He has the luxury to spend absurdly long hours in the gym because it is his job. For the rest of us, attempting to live our lives by those same standards isn’t just impossible. It might be killing us.

OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — It seems men are more unhappy with the way they look than at any time before. Their quest for the so-called perfect shape is fueling a new disorder called "bigorexia." The formal name is muscle dysmorphia. It's like anorexia, but in reverse. Experts, including right here in Oklahoma, are sounding the alarm.
No matter how much weight they lift, how much fat they lose, or how many hours they spend at the gym, for some men, the reflection in the mirror will never be good enough.
"There's always that next level of 'I want to get bigger. I want to get leaner than I have been before,' said Dr. Timothy Baghurst. "So where do you stop?"
Dr. Baghurst doesn't just study bigorexia as a professor at OSU. He's lived it. His obsession with getting bigger and leaner took over his life when he was a college student. Then he learned his condition had a name- muscle dysmorphia.
"It's a real concern," said Dr. Baghurst. "It shouldn't be treated lightly. It can lead to serious consequences, even death.
Depression, steroid abuse, and suicide are some of the extremes. But more commonly, men with bigorexia suffer in other areas like in their friendships, relationships, even jobs, as they put their physique above every other thing in their lives. Of course not every guy who works out religiously or who is a body builder has a problem.
"More so than anything, you have to be honest with yourself," said Jason Vlastaras, assistant director of fitness at OSU's Department of Wellness..
Vlastaras also happens to be a professional natural body builder. He says it's a fine line for competitors who have to put so much time and energy into their sport.
"You have to take appraisal of where you are currently," said Vlastaras. "Are you neglecting things like family? Are you not going to social gatherings because you're scared you wont be able to stay on your meal plan?" Vlastara also relies on his loved ones to hold him accountable.
Some research suggests as many as 1 in 10 gymgoers suffer from bigorexia, though Dr. Baghurst believes it's far fewer. Most aren't aware that they have the condition and would deny it in the same way most anorexics would.
What's triggering this disturbing trend? One possibility is the explosion of "bigspiration," on social media. Men post videos of themselves flexing and working out.
"Now because all those things are right there regularly, in front of us 24 hours a day, it can create this culture of constant comparison," said Vlastaras.
That comparison can start early in life. Dr. Baghurst points to action figures for little boys, asking how can they be satisfied with their own bodies. It's something he's had to find out for himself. While not totally overcoming bigorexia, he has learned to manage it.
"I wish I knew the quick fix answer," said Dr. Baghurst. "Honestly it just took time. It took getting married and having kids, finding some balance in my life, and understanding this doesn't have to be the priority."
Researchers say they still have a ways to go in even educating doctors on the seriousness of bigorexia. A recent study found only 30 percent of physicians knew about or understood muscle dysmorphia.

Diet-wise, cut out all oils and fats and cut way WAY down on the carbs. To add flavor to anything, cut out all sweeteners, dressings, etc. and just use lemon juice. You must adhere to this 24-7. If you're already bulky, do tons of cardio.

If you are looking at certain actors as an ideal remember that all their meals are prepared for them to ensure they stick rigidly to the diet. It is all set up so that all they have to do is eat and work out to get into that condition. Everyday they will meet with their personal trainer. Everyday they eat the meals prepared for them. Chris Pratt confirmed this in an interview. I would imagine, as well, that some contract will have been signed to ensure they stick to all this.
I'd say, as well, that steroids are certainly involved along the way for many of them, given the time they have in which to change their physiques. For a start steroids improve recovery massively. Along with that some of them will harden and define and cut alongside the ones that add bulk. The risk to the liver is negligible if the steroids are stacked sensibly and they wean themselves off after some time. They will have access to high end stuff as well and not the dodgy crap gymrats buy in the locker room.
I once worked out alongside an actor, now very successful and known for a number of films that involve intense action, when he was training for his first action role. He was slight to say the least. Even though people look bigger on camera there was no way he could have bulked up the way he did so quickly without chemical encouragement.

Holy shit the amount of pseudo science and bad advice here is overwhelming.
There's no way to get ripped quickly. It takes years to build substantial amounts of muscle. Years of consistent exercise and good eating.
Yes, you need to eat a lot but no you don't need to eat 10 times the amount the average man eats. First of all, the average man eats more than they need to and second of all that guy is a stunt man. He's probably weightlifting, doing cardio, and doing some sort of gymnastics training in addition to his job which involves physical work. Even really big weightlifters, IE people around the 105 kg division only eat around 6k calories. No where near 20k calories that that article is suggesting (assuming the average man only eats 2k calories which seems low.) Then there's the fact clean, non-heavily processed food, doesn't cost as much as junk food. You don't need to spend 36 grand on food. That's ridiculous.
Cardio doesn't reduce muscle mass. Not working your muscles reduces muscle mass (slowly.) Cardio just burns calories which means you'll have to eat more.
A ketogenic diet doesn't have to revolve around eggs. A ketogenic diet just involves reducing the amount of carbs and sugar to the point where your body starts to believes it's starving. Then it starts to produces ketones to provide itself with energy. Basically this diet just burns body fat incredibly quickly. I'm not sure I believe it's safe for long periods of time.
Also carbs are only bad if you don't use them. A high carb diet is actually really good for exercising because it provides you with a lot of energy. Carbs are only bad if you don't use them and you let them convert to fat. But as long as you're not over eating carbs are fine.

Cardio most certainly will reduce muscle mass without you counterbalancing the muscle waste through ingestion of calories and protein. It's called catabolism.
by Anonymous | reply 49 | August 4, 2017 6:58 PM |
Catabolism -- or the wasting of lean muscle tissue -- should be avoided at all costs. Not only do you get weaker and more prone to injury, your metabolism will slow, decreasing how many calories you burn at rest. Lean muscle requires energy and effort to maintain; you accomplish this with a balanced diet and heavy resistance training. You do not need to spend hours in the gym. Instead, focus on heavy, basic exercise. Ensure you get enough protein and essential fats to maintain your muscle tissue and hormone levels.

That's not to say there aren't guys in their thirties, forties and fifties who aren't still ripped - but there are fewer for each decade. Unless you're really dedicated and/or genetically blessed - it seems like an almost impossible ideal to strive for.

The blatant gross narcissism of these Instagram fitness models is disturbing, but putting that whole issue aside, NO ONE GETS THAT BIG WITHOUT STEROIDS.
They all lie about the hard work and diet they go through to attain these absurdly distorted bodies. Yes, of course, they are hitting the gym and working out a lot, but to get that kind of muscle size and striation, IT IS ALL STERIODS use, which very few of these "models" and actors will admit to using.
I'm not saying you can't get a nice muscular body, of course, you can. but to get ripped to that extent of the models posted above, again it's steroids, or at the very least the somewhat healthier alternative, a doctor monitored regime of going on HRT (hormone replacement therapy.)
But in the end, without chemicals, no amount of exercise and diet will get you the size the Instagram models and the actors in superhero movies. Never.
So we ordinary folks should be happy with what we can achieve without pumping your body with chemicals. you can get a flat stomach but most of us are not genetically blessed to have a 6 pack, no matter how hard we work or how diligently we monitor our diets. we should happy with a flat stomach over a big belly.

Try Fasted Cardio. Do cardio first thing after waking without taking in any calories. Your body will burn fat to power your cardio best in this state. Eat lean protein (30g) after doing cardio.

If you're over 10% body fat, you need to cut until you're 10%. Do high intensity interval training HIIT cardio, but no more than 30 minutes 5 times a week. Once you're 10%, then you can bulk, gaining muscle and fat. Once you've gained muscle and your fat's gotten to 15%, you need to cut again. Over and over until you look the way you want.
Also, go to a physician and get on a safe steroid cycle. You can do this twice without damaging your body. Your balls will return to normal size if you just do it twice.

You can buy a set of Olympic rings and do your dips, chin-ups and leg raises with those instead. So much better for improving rotator cuff strength and scapular-humeral stability than bars.

I used to date a gym bum. No steroids. He would only eat/drink proteins or complex carbs - never together. Nothing else. He would make a protein shake with 3 eggs or eat 3 sweet potatoes or large steak or fish or chicken - no other sides. Then he would press weights - to failure. Maximum amount of weight, least amount of reps. It seemed to work for him. He had a very muscular body. I just couldn’t deal with the rest of him!

Aspirin and caffeine or preworkout with aspirin. Need to cut carbs, up protein. Keto works for some but my body doesn’t assimilate fats the way it does for others so it hasn’t worked for me. You can do intermittent fasting or fast alternate days if you can take it. Take digestive enzymes with your food and drink a shit load of green tea. Also, apple cider vinegar with the mother about 15 minutes before all meals.

I'm 27, 5'11", naturally weigh ~160. I never had visible abs when I was younger. I played tennis but I never did any weight training.
About three years ago I got interested in weight training and started eating clean for every meal. I'd do a split routine 3 days a week (chest & tri's focus on Tuesdays/back and shoulders focus on Thursdays/legs on Saturday). I did 30 mins of cardio after each workout (jogging on a treadmill with an incline) and 1 hour of cardio on Monday and Wednesday. Nothing on Sunday. Three months later my weight had dropped slightly to 155. One day when I was getting in the shower, I noticed how cut my abs were. I was taken aback and was so turned on I jacked off to myself in the shower.

R240, I did biceps on back and shoulder days, but I did them last and only some of the time. Don't concentrate on biceps; they're too small of a muscle group. Concentrate on tri's for bigger arms. Your bi's will get bigger naturally with benchpress and row.

R238 that sounds like the beginning to Tweet's "Oops (Oh My)"
You have to get your macros right--a few hundred calories or 10g of fat/protein/carbs can make a big difference over the course of a few weeks. You have to be strict, almost monk-like, if you want to get "ripped." All the sit ups and crunches in the world won't help if your nutrition isn't consistent. Planks, including side planks, are more effective for abs in my experience, and you need to strengthen your lower back with deadlifts/rows.
