Sure you can't do it in a second, but there's no point bumming around.
Just recently my friend was going out with a girl and she wanted him to get fit (get ripped in other words).
He did his best - he hit the gym, ate well and for the most part got better.
But even after all this (you know what's coming right?) she broke up with him because she thought his effort was poor.
Now she's with some bad-ass guy with a ripped body.
I felt bad for my friend but it got me thinking.
I mean, I reckon this happens to a lot of guys.
Guys need to know how to get ripped fast.
Not just for girls, maybe it's for their self respect.
Or to get a job.
Or a movie part.
It could be anything.
Whatever your motivations, try these 7 super tips on how to get ripped fast.
- You have to be specific.
You need a goal and you need to train specific to it.
This is very important.
- You have to lift above your threshold.
What you lift must stress your muscles above your threshold.
Any lower and your lifting wont stimulate muscle growth.
People who don't know how to get ripped fast often lift below their threshold and consequently end up with average bodies.
- You have to lift heavy weights.
Will your muscles be stimulated more with 1-2 reps with heavy weights or 7-8 with heavy weights? Easy answer.
So go out and lift heavy weights, high reps. - You have to work with intensity.
You think the guys in 300 got those bodies without intensity? Think again.
Each workout has to be more intense than the last.
Obviously this will be hard coming off a big night partying or working, but nonetheless you have to train with intensity.
- You have to recover.
There is no point in jumping back on the weights while your muscles are still torn.
NEW muscle has to have time to grow.
So give yourself a day or two to rest after working out.
Rotate your workouts too.
- The intensity must be short and frequent.
Training too often will hinder your success.
Training 6-7 days a week is not how to get ripped fast.
Give yourself time to recover and when you workout go as hard as you can for short periods of time.
- The intensity must achieve maximum results and minimal work.
This is a tricky one because it changes depending on how experienced you are.
The bottom line is this: once you apply high intensity stress on the muscle, stop performing any more sets or workouts.
Sure you can follow these and you'll go better than before.
But to make maximum gains, you need special help.
