Get Ripped Strong & Powerful in 2010 With the 300 Workout

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 10:37:00 +0000

I implemented the 300 workout into my weekly workout routine about 14 months ago and have achieved great results ever since. By following this routine, I have been able to significantly decrease my body fat percentage and significantly increase my lean muscles as well as get a lot stronger.

The 300 workout was first introduced to the general public in Men's Health magazine and the workout was inspired to help the actors from the movie 300, get in the best shape of their lives for the movie. The workout is comprised of 7 sets with 6 different exercises totaling 300 reps in the following order.

1. Pull Ups - 25 Reps

2. 135 Pound (60 Kg) Deadlift - 50 Reps

3. Pushups - 50 Reps

4. 24 Inch (0.6 Meter) Box Jumps - 50 Reps

5. Floor Wipers - 50 Reps

6. 35 (15 Kg) Pound Dumbell Clean & Press - 50 Reps

7. Pull Ups - 25 Reps

This workout is designed to increase muscular endurance, increase your work capacity and increase your muscle strength. The goal of this workout is to try and complete it as fast as possible and therefore you will want to take as few breaks as possible. The fastest time by one of the actors in the movie 300 was 18 minutes. This is a very challenging time to beat and it would be questionable if the actor who completed it in such a time, even took a break at all during the 7 set marathon!

Therefore, in order to improve, keep the weight and volume the same each time you perform this workout and always strive to try and beat your personal best time. This is an advanced workout so for beginners and intermediates, you can do less reps until you build up to the advanced level and number of reps. The important thing to follow is the format of the workout and continually progress from one exercise to the other by taking as few breaks as possible.

1. Pull Ups - 25 Reps

Begin the workout by trying to complete 25 reps of pull ups. If you have trouble with pull ups, you can use the Assisted Pull Up Machine to counter balance your weight and make it easier until you are able to pull up your own weight.

2. 135 Pound (60 Kg) Deadlift - 50 Reps

Next, place a plate on each side of an Olympic Bar and try and perform 50 deadlifts in any combination of sets.

3. Pushups - 50 Reps

Following deadlifts, immediately start doing push ups. Do as many sets as it takes until you reach 50 reps. You can also vary your hand position in order to target different muscles. Having your hands closer together will enable you to focus more on your triceps. Having your hands father apart will enable you to focus more on your chest.

4. 24 Inch (0.6 Meter) Box Jumps - 50 Reps

In order to develop explosive strength in your lower body, set up a two foot box and jump on and off the box for 50 reps.

5. Floor Wipers - 50 Reps

Floor wipers are the most challenging part of this workout. Set up a mat on the floor for sit ups. Take the 135 pound Olympic Bar that you used for deadlifts and set it over the mat. Lay down and hoist the 135 pound Olympic Bar over your body as if you were doing bench press. Hold the Olympic Bar above your body and do a leg lift first touching the left plate on the Olympic Bar with your feet, then bring you legs back down to the center position, hold for a moment and then do another leg lift touching the right plate on the Olympic Bar. Repeat this process for another 49 reps. This is a very challenging exercise that requires you to stabilize the Olympic Bar over your body while you attempt to do 100 leg lifts. When done correctly, it is one of the best ab development exercises.

6. 35 Pound (15 Kg) Dumbell Clean & Press - 50 Reps

Place a 35 pound dumbell in your right hand. Lift the dumbell from the floor, clean it to your shoulder, press it over your head and bring it down to your shoulder. Perform this exercise for 25 reps on your right arm and for 25 reps on your left arm.

7. Pull Ups - 25 Reps

Complete the 300 workout by performing another 25 reps of pull ups in however many sets it takes to achieve this. Prior to starting this workout, make sure you stretch and are well warmed up. Don't forget to set up all the equipment prior to starting the workout so you can move from one exercise to another and don't forget to time yourself so you have something to focus and improve upon the next time you do this workout.

Workouts like the 300 workout are circuit training workouts. Circuit training workouts are the best way to build muscular endurance and muscle strength and are the most important workout programs to follow and perform if you wish to get a ripped, strong and powerful athletic body. Its also very important to vary your circuit training workouts as your body adapts very quickly. For maximum results, you want to make sure your body is always in a state of shock and therefore you want to ensure that you continually change up your circuit training workouts so your body never gets a chance to adapt.

How to Get Ripped - 4 Rules Any Man Most Follow to Get Ripped Fast

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 10:13:00 +0000

1. Do workouts that build muscle and burn fat at the same time.

When you are trying to get ripped (which means building muscle while burning fat to display those ripped muscles) - It is best that you do not waste your time doing ONLY muscle building or fat burning workouts so...

Make sure you do workouts like circuit training, sledgehammer workouts, tire flip workouts, complexes, and hill sprints and...

You want to avoid cardio workouts (which do very little for fat burning anyway) and You want to avoid doing arm, chest, back, shoulder and leg muscle building workouts unless you want to make those certain parts of your body look better but...

You will not get ripped just by lifting weights unless you combine your weight training with some type of fat burning exercise and as an example of workout you can do to get ripped...

You can do 10 power cleans (using a weight about 70-to-80% of your max) and then immediately do 45 seconds of Jumping Jacks after that and you would repeat this cycle 4-to-8 times without stopping for a 10-to-20 minute workout that will build muscle and burn fat making you ripped.

2. Do intervals and take cardio out of your vocabulary

The difference between being ripped tomorrow or in 6 months is if you do intervals or cardio. Intervals are proven to be the best and fastest way to burn fat fast to get ripped so... Along with your muscle building and fat burning workouts...

Make sure to add some interval workouts also and do intervals about 3-to-4 times a week and only if you want to...

You can do some boring cardio on your days off but... Cardio workouts are really only effective for people who have just started a fat loss plan and even though you may lose up to 10 pounds or more real fast doing cardio at first...

In order to get more fat burning results so you can really get your body fat percentage low enough to reveal your ripped abs... You are going to have to do intervals or even tabata training to get ripped fast and unlike a 60-to-90 minute cardio workout...

Intervals only need to be done for 10-to-40 minutes to make you ripped all over.

3. You do not need to do Ab exercises to get ripped abs

In order to see your ripped abs - you just have to burn off enough belly fat by doing muscle building & fat burning workouts, intervals and eating right and...

Although doing crunches, sit-ups, hanging knee raises or any other Ab gimmicks helps you build ripped abs - It does not matter how many Ab exercises or workouts you do for ripped abs - you will only be able to see your ripped abs after you have burned off the fat with fat burning workouts and a good diet.

4. Eat right to get ripped

This simply means avoiding junk food, staying out of the snack foods isle and eating as many high quality foods as you can like oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, high protein meats, nuts and shakes and...

If you do not like the fat loss results you are getting then just cut back a little bit on how much high quality foods you are eating everyday and yes...

Every once in a while it is okay for you to cheat and have a snack but the closer you are to getting ripped means you have to cheat less and less on your diet plan to get the ripped body you want but truthfully...

If you keep your workouts intense and eat higher quality foods - you really should not have to worry too much about how many calories you are eating in order to get ripped.

Top 7 Exercises For Getting Ripped (How To Burn Fat Now)

How to Get Cut - The Very Best Way to Get Ripped Abs!

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:24:00 +0000

If you've been seeking how to get cut, yet haven't been able to figure the solution then you've come to the right place. I wanted to get ripped abs, defined arms, and a chiseled chest for years. I'd go to the gym four to five times a week for hours on end and tried every supplement under the sun.

Do you know what the turning point in my six pack abs hunt was?

Oddly enough, it was poverty!

I had just finished my physical therapy from shoulder surgery and I didn't have the money to afford the best supplement to get ripped or any other fancy pills but I still wanted to get cut!

So I started off doing the normal stuff to build my body up to prepare for the challenges it would soon face. I'd go to the local park and do pull ups, dips, push-ups, sit ups and hanging leg raises three times a week.

After about a month of doing so, my body felt prepared to intensify my workouts so I started to add in more explosive exercises. I read that explosive and full body exercises with weight resistance required more energy to perform. More energy burned meant more fat burned in my eyes.

How to Get Cut Professional Athlete Style!

Instead of walking down to the park or jogging I took a page out of most boxers running style. They don't call it "running" they call it road work. Why? Because a simple jog is a lot more than just jogging. Being a former boxer, I recalled jogging for 2 minutes and then sprinting for 1 minute at full speed and repeating this process for a mile or two. We'd also add challenges to our work outs such as every 3 blocks ran we'd do 10 explosive push-ups.

It was these alterations to our get ripped workout that helped me lose belly fat and start to see definition in my abs, arms, calves and chest rather quickly.

Most people believe running to lose weight involves simply jogging a few miles. The way I see it, the lack of variation in staying at a jogging speed doesn't put the body into overdrive mode to start burning fat for energy.

Today, I still have to constantly vary my workouts so that my body is constantly being challenged. In my opinion this is the best way to get ripped. So while most people are trying to figure out only one answer to how to get ripped, I'm figuring out what variation to my workout should I do today to stay ripped!

How to Get Ripped - Lean Body Workout

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:23:00 +0000

If you want to know how to get ripped fast, this lean body workout will provide the answer. In addition to this advanced workout program, you must follow a strict lean body diet plan, optimize your supplement strategy and get plenty of rest. When combined with a burning desire to transform your body and get ripped, the changes will be inevitable. Having said that, let's get right into this advanced lean body workout.

Ripped Body Workout Routine:

Get Ripped Workout Day 1:

-> Total body strength training, followed by 45-minutes of cardio. Focus is to improve overall strength, quickness and overall conditioning, while creating a significant post-workout spike in metabolism.

-> Perform 6 sets of 6 reps with 30-seconds of rest between working sets, for the following exercises:

- Wide grip pull-ups
- Incline dumbbell chest presses
- Deadlifts
- Dumbbell rear lunges
- Barbell squat cleans
- Barbell push-presses
- Seated calf raises
- One arm kettlebell swings
- Dumbbell side lunges

-> Next, proceed immediately to cardio workout: 25-minutes of treadmill running using random incline levels. Aim to increase running speed by 0.5 mph every 5-minutes.

Get Ripped Workout Day 2:

-> 60-minute cardio session to improve endurance and increase lactate threshold.

- Using treadmill or running outdoors, complete a 60-minute tempo run (make sure you're running at an uncomfortable pace throughout the entire session - if you can't make it 60-minutes, start with 30-minutes and work your way up gradually).

Get Ripped Workout Day 3:

-> Circuit training routine combined with plyometric training, to improve muscular endurance, facilitate explosive ability and boost metabolism for ultimate fat-burning. Complete 12 reps of the following exercises back to back, without rest:

- Barbell front squats
- Explosive incline push-ups (6-second eccentric/lowering phase, 1-second pause at bottom and explode on lifting/concentric phase)
- Single leg stability ball leg curls
- Upright rows using dumbbells
- Standing dumbbell shoulder presses
- Box jumps (remember to land as soft and quiet as possible)
- Weighted bench dips
- Split squat jumps (pause 3 seconds in bottom position, explode into the jump, alternating legs in the air, landing softly and slowly lowering back to bottom position)

-> After one circuit, rest 90-seconds, then perform two more circuits, for a total of three intense circuits.

Get Ripped Workout Day 4:

-> Take a rest day or do 30-minutes of light activity (basketball, yard work, cleaning, etc)

Get Ripped Workout Day 5:

-> Same as Day 1 (aim to increase weights used and/or running speed and incline levels; after 8 weeks or plateau, use same exercises but switch to less weight and moderate reps, for example - 3 sets of 12 reps)

Get Ripped Workout Day 6:

-> Same as Day 2 (progression is key - try to improve slightly each and every workout to keep the lean body results coming)

Get Ripped Workout Day 7:

-> Same as Day 3 (change the order of your exercises so that each workout has you starting and ending with a different movement)

After completing one week of this lean body workout, you'll know how to get ripped once and for all. Please consult a professional if you are unsure of proper form, technique or have general questions about any element of this workout routine.

How to Create Your Own Workout Programs to Get Ripped

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:22:00 +0000

Do you want to have a good workout programs that will deliver the best result for you? there are two ways to do that, first is by getting a personal trainer to create it for you, while the other one is create it by yourself. And I think that creating it yourself is more effective than having a personal trainer create it for you. Why?

Because, if you create it yourself. You can adjust the exercises and set to suit your body fitness level. While if a personal trainer create it for you, chances are that he doesn't adjust the programs to suit your personal needs. He just give it to you and say "This is a good program". Don't be fooled by those kinds of personal trainer, they only want to get your money without giving you anything useful.

And if you create it yourself, you can minimize your daily cost too. Because not everyone can afford a personal trainer. Yet there are many people who achieve great fitness level with constructing their own workout programs, such as a police or marine.

So why most people don't construct their own workout programs? Because they don't know how to do it. They only have the willingness to do a program. They can't construct a program because their lack of knowledge. Pity. Because if they have the knowledge, they can build awesome fitness level while minimizing their daily cost.

Constructing your own workout program is not as hard as many people thinks, all we need is proper knowledge and the willingness to learn from others.

The Kettlebell Way - The Best Workout For Getting Ripped!

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:22:00 +0000

A kettlebell body is a ripped body, period. If you are looking to get a lean ripped physique then you have to always follow the same requirements with kettlebell training as you do with any other style of working out, but kettlebell training can get you there a little quicker. You must have a clean nutrition plan and a smart training program. It just so happens that if you are kettlebell training you are training smart.

You see the reason the kettlebell way is the way for getting a ripped body is that it is so exerting on the body. You see if you are kettlebell training then you are moving your body around and moving it a lot. Not to mention you are more than likely moving your body through various movements and kettlebell lifts that require you to lift the resistance of the bell by incorporating the majority of your muscles to do it. This can become very exerting and in the process you tend to incinerate a boat load of calories in the process while revving up your metabolism to burn like a jet engine! By you engaging in even the most basic kettlebell lifts such as swings, snatches, and jerks you will be participating in one of the best workouts for getting lean. You see the Russian word for a kettlebell strongman is Girevik. When Girevik's first started using bells these were more than likely rugged farmers that had to be physically fit in order to withstand the rigors of working long days in harsh environments. Even way back then they understood the benefits of the iron bell by pushing themselves probably a lot harder than most of us do today. This was the key to having a fit body that not only looked it, but could withstand most any physical challenge. This is why the kettlebell way is the best workout for getting super fit and really ripped!

If you are interested in learning more then feel free to access the rest of my articles on the matter for free. This is one of the absolute best workout methods for you to gain lean muscle. Remember that most anyone can train hard, but only the best train smart my friend!

The Secrets To Build Muscle and Get Ripped

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:21:00 +0000

With the obesity epidemic growing and a staggering number of Americans getting weight related illnesses such as diabetes and high cholesterol, it seems that there has recently been a huge push for people to try and "get ripped" (an informal way of saying build muscle.) And as more T.V. shows spring up on the topic (Heavy, The Biggest Loser), motivational stories are being broadcast into our homes every week about how it's possible to go from morbidly obese to fit as a fiddle - if you're willing to put the work into it.

The issue though is that those people have an advantage that most of us don't have - an army of nutritionists and trainers at their disposal that would cost you thousands of dollars by the time you had lost the weight. They also have the added benefit of a TV audience that watches them fervently every week to help motivate them - no one wants to fail on a nationally televised level. So where does that leave the rest of us mere mortals?

Thankfully, you have quite a few options at your disposal. There are several programs that cover both the nutritional and physical aspects of dieting in a comprehensive and effective way. The most effective one (and certainly the most visible right now) is Beach body's P90X program. This is an intensive 90 day program that works out all of the major muscle groups in an intensive and stimulating fashion. The main thing that differentiates P90 from its competitors is the idea of "muscle confusion." This states that if you work out a different set of muscles every day, your body takes longer to build up a resistance to the exercises. There is also a dietary component that is laid out in great detail in the P90 program guide. And while the program isn't cheap (it runs about 160$), you're definitely getting what you paid for in this case.

The other eminent program that is being touted right now is the "Insanity" workout. These videos are shorter but much more intense than the P90 routines (which are already pretty difficult.) And while someone who has never worked out before could do them, it would be highly recommended to have some prior exercise experience if you were going to go that route.

Thought it may seem like a daunting task, these two programs (in addition to dozens of other pre-existing ones) can help you safely and speedily lose those excess pounds you've been trying to get rid of.

How to Get Ripped - 3 Tips to Get You Going

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:20:00 +0000

If you want to learn how to get ripped then this article is for you. There are three main points I will be discussing, and they are: Why your diet is more important than exercise, how to get the most out of running through interval training and how to avoid falling back into the same problems as before.

In this article on how to get ripped I will explain each point and show you how you can use them to your advantage.

The first thing that needs to happen when you're trying to lose weight is to cut down on the fatty foods. This sounds easier than it is, trust me I know how great fast food is. It truly is addicting but you have to cut it down to a minimal. You don't want to cut it out completely, in fact that's why most diets fail is because they try to cut out sweets and other foods completely. Keep it to one per week that you eat out.

Instead of doing the same old thing on the treadmill day in and out, try interval training. Do a five minute warm-up, then sprint or close to sprint for one minute. After the one minute sprint run at about 70% for 2 minutes then repeat again. One minute sprint, then two minutes of jogging; repeat three times.

In order to avoid falling back into the same rut as before you have to condition yourself to go to the gym at least 3 times a week. There are so many excuses that can be made, but don't fall into them. Don't wait until Monday, start right now.

When you first get started it will be tough, but it does get easier as time goes on. The first week you will lose a lot, but the second is the hardest. Remember: Focus a lot on your diet and burn more calories than you consume, start doing interval training and last but not least set a plan and get started right away, don't keep pushing it off. You'll be well on your way to getting ripped.

Learn How to Get Ripped With 3 Key Tips

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:19:00 +0000

If you're looking for information on how to transform your body and get ripped, then this article is for you. There are a few different ideas I will be discussing and they are: Why you're diet is the most important thing you can change, the best exercises for overall weight loss and the importance of having a plan written out.

I will explain each of the ideas laid out and explain how to use them to your benefit.

The first thing that needs to change when trying to lose weight is your diet. Your diet is the overall most important factor in losing weight, it's the make or break aspect of getting ripped. Whatever you do, don't slack on your diet or all the time you put in the gym will be obsolete.

There are many exercises you can do for weight loss but there are only a few that can really make a difference. Don't get me wrong, there are no bad exercises for you but there are others that can speed up progress. The first is the row machine, it's the one you're sitting down on and pulling the cord with the wooden handles towards you. You use your arms, back and legs on this machine and it's amazing for burning calories. The next exercises is jumping rope, yes you heard it right; jumping rope is a top exercise for weight loss.

Last but not least by any means is setting a workout plan. You need to keep track of what you do in the gym, how much weight you used last week and how much you're using this week. By doing so it will help you obtain any goal you set a lot easier. Having a plan laid out makes your life 100 times easier.

It's a long-term goal that's easily obtainable if you stick to the plan. Make sure to eat right or all the hard work you put in the gym will be for nothing, do some rows on the machine as well as adding the jump rope aspect to your workout and don't forget to write out a worthwhile workout plan so you can keep track of exactly what you do each and every week.

Workout Routines to Get Ripped - Get Lean and Mean!

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:18:00 +0000

If you're serious about getting big and strong, you'll spend most of the year in "gaining mode," eating tons of food and getting stronger for huge gains in size and strength. However, every once in a while you want to lean down, trim up, and shed any extra fat for a killer physique. Here are a couple of workout routines to get ripped that you can use to get ready for the pool or beach season.

1. Full-Body Fat Blast

Most guys will have the most success at building muscle with some kind of split routine. You just can't give each of your muscles the attention it needs to grow without focusing on a few of them per workout. However, doing full-body workouts can still build a bit of muscle, and it can DEFINITELY torch the fat off your body.

There are tons of ways to do full body workout routines to get ripped, but there are a few basics you should follow. First, start each one with a heavy lower body exercise like squats or deadlifts. These movements work almost all of the muscles in your body, which stimulates your metabolism to burn fat all day long!

Second, pick some kind of pressing and some type of pulling exercise. This combo could be bench press and pull-ups, dips and rows, it doesn't really matter. Just use free weights, good form, and go heavy! Also, do your sets of these exercises back-to-back, with only 30-60 of rest in between. Alternating pushing and pulling muscles is another great way to get lean.

Finally, you'll want to add some type of conditioning work at the end of your workouts. This can be running, fast walking, sprinting, whatever. The important thing is that it challenges you, makes you out of breath, and lights up your metabolism even more. Don't get lazy! If you're in decent shape as it is, don't just walk on the treadmill for a few minutes - do interval sprints on the track or the stair stepper, do barbell complexes, do SOMETHING to get your heart pounding and your muscles tired!

2. Sprinting for Cuts

Most people think long hours of boring cardio or jogging when they think of cardio for fat loss. The truth is, this type of exercise is extremely time-consuming, very boring, and it can even cause you to LOSE that hard-earned muscle you're trying to show off by getting leaner! A much better way to do cardio is sprinting.

Take a look at any good sprinter's physique - they're extremely lean and muscular! Compare that to most joggers or marathon runners - thin, wiry, and totally frail. Hopefully these obvious examples will show you that sprinting and other high-intensity forms of training are superior for a lean, muscular physique.

So, one of the best workout routines to get ripped is interval sprints. These are simply but brutally hard! Find a track or a place where you can run without worrying about obstacles or other people in your way. Start by walking or lightly jogging for a minute, and then go into a full-on sprint for 15-20 seconds. Once you're done with that sprint, walk or jog again for 60-90 seconds, and then spring again!

Repeat this process for 5-6 cycles when you first start, and gradually build up your workouts so you're doing 10-12 sprints. Even when you get to that level, you'll be done with the whole workout in 20-25 minutes, and you really will have accomplished something! Your metabolism will be revved up, you'll burn fat all day long, and you'll feel great.

Getting Ripped With Three Tips

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:18:00 +0000

When starting out in the gym it can be difficult to know where to begin, so I'm here to give you tips for getting ripped. There are a few different things you need to keep in mind when starting on your track to weight loss, and they are: Staying away from refined carbohydrates, drinking more water and having a plan ready to go before entering the gym.

I will do my best to explain each of the idea laid out in this article on getting ripped and show you how to use them for your benefit.

Refined carbohydrates will really set you back. Refined carbs are things such as sugar (soda), white flour, white rice etc. Although they have a longer shelf life they are striped of things such as B vitamins, iron and fiber. By cutting these out of your diet you will greatly increase your chances of losing weight.

Believe it or not drinking more water can help tenfold. By adding more water to your diet it will help you digest foods property, and help feeling so hungry all the time. Most people don't drink enough water throughout the day which can work against you if you're dehydrated. Drink at least 64 ounces of water daily. Your body will adjust to the added consumption within a week.

A workout plan is often overlooked. Having a sold workout plan with notes and a notebook to keep track is underused. Knowing exactly how much you gained is important to weight loss. Before going to the gym do some research on what you want to accomplish and have a workout plan ready to go. This will help prevent you from looking lost in the gym.

The first few weeks are the hardest, once you get past those you'll be in a great shape. Try your best to avoid too many refined carbohydrates, the biggest one to watch for is soda, drink more water throughout the day and you will notice a difference in your hunger and last but not least don't forget to create a workout plan tailored to your specific needs it really will make all the difference in the world when you have a clear plan laid out in front of you.

How to Get Ripped - Have the Plan Laid Out

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:17:00 +0000

When you first start out in the gym, it can be easy to get lost with what you should and shouldn't do. There are a few tips that will help you out along the way. Before you even go into the gym, you should have a workout plan in your mind or on paper so you have something to follow, have a diet so to speak laid out as well so you know exactly what you need to do and last but not least you never want to run before you workout. I will explain each of these tips writing in this article on how to get ripped and show you have you can use them to your benefit.

The very first thing you need to do is have you workout plan written out. You don't want to go to the gym with a blank slate, you'll end up not knowing what to do or forget what you had in mind. Write everything down you want to accomplish. A good idea is to do between 8-11 sets for the big body parts such as chest/back and legs and 5-6 sets for the smaller body parts such as triceps and biceps.

Before you enter the gym you should already have a diet plan laid out as, by doing so you are already ahead of the curve. There are countless times I'm in the gym and see people that have no clue what they're doing, sure they have big arms but they also have a big gut to match. 70% of weight loss is in the diet. It's OK to do a slight warm-up on the treadmill before a workout but don't push it too far. Running before you lift can work against your muscle building process. It fatigues your muscles and you won't get the correct type of workout that you're looking for so make sure if you do warm-up to only do light jog or walk for 5-8 minutes.

The last thing you want to do is give up right away. It will be tough I promise you that, but it does get easier after the first few weeks. Have a clearly written workout plan as well as a diet plan ready to go before you ever even reach the gym and don't push too hard on the warm-up on the treadmill or it could be detrimental to you workout.

Workout Program to Get Ripped!

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:16:00 +0000

If you've been looking for some workout programs to get ripped, you've just found what you're looking for. Profiled below you'll find a workout that's set up in a circuit training format. If you're unfamiliar with circuit training, I'll tell you this - it's the absolute best way to shed body fat and well, basically get ripped!

The concept behind circuit training is to blend cardio with strength training. This is accomplished by performing your exercises in a back-to-back format without a rest period in between each set. Only once all the exercises in the "circuit" have been completed will you get a couple minutes to rest and regroup.

The purpose of eliminating the rest periods - aside from the obvious cardiovascular benefits - is to increase the accumulation of lactic acid, which is a by-product of anaerobic metabolism. As lactic acid levels increase, growth hormone is secreted from the pituitary gland and growth hormone, as one of its functions, promotes fat burning by transporting the fatty acids into the mitochondria for oxidization.

A lot of fancy words I know, but all you need to know is that circuit training helps you burn more fat. So now that we've established that, we can get right to the workout program.

Workout Program To Get Ripped

Note: I don't expect you to know what these exercises are, let alone how to perform them properly so at the bottom of this article, you'll find a link to a site that provides step by step instructions and video demonstrations.

Bench Step Ups
Push Ups
Barbell Squats
Pull Ups
Straight Leg Dead Lifts

Once all 5 exercises are completed (12 repetitions per set), you can take a 90 second rest.
Complete that circuit 3 times before moving onto this next one..

Standing Overhead Dumbbell Press
Standing Dumbbell Curls
Lying Dumbbell Extensions
Seated Medicine Ball Twists
Lower Back Extensions

Once again, you're performing 3 sets of each exercise and 12 repetitions per set.
Take a 90 second rest only once you finish the circuit.

Get Ripped - Beginner Workouts to Get Ripped Fast

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:15:00 +0000

Every summer the same thing happens. People want to get ripped and go searching for workouts to get ripped fast. The truth is getting ripped isn't all that different from a regular workout. The keys to getting ripped simply require three things: proper nutrition, muscle building workouts and cardio workouts. The trick is combining these three elements to maximize your shredded physique. That's what this article is all about.

It is important to note that what I'm talking about here is the average fitness enthusiast who wants to see there abs and not a professional body builder who is cutting for a competition.

With that said the first element to getting a ripped physique is to watch what you eat. It sounds obvious, but in order to achieve a ripped physique you have to reduce the layers of subcutaneous fat. This basically just means reducing the amount of fat between the muscle and skin. The simple answer here is to reduce the amount of fat consumed.

Without requiring the assistance of a sports nutritionist, you can frankly just begin by making smarter choices about what you eat. Think about the items you will be picking up at the grocery and opt for a low fat variety of the same item. Substitute high fat foods for moderate to low fat. Reduce the amount of times you indulge in super rich foods from 4 days to week to 1 or 2 days. You'll be amazed and how easily you can reduce your consumption of high fat foods without even really trying.

The next element to getting that ripped body is to introduce cardio workouts into your week. If you have solely been focusing on muscle building workouts, then simply introduce jogging, brisk walking, swimming or basically any sustained low intensity workouts, at least 3 times per week for at least 20 to 30 minutes each. One of my favorite fat burning workouts is the heavy bag. There's just something very macho about smacking a heavy bag, even if my form sucks!

The third element is that beach body is of course strength training. At this stage you are not really trying to add muscle mass to your physique so for a month or two, switch things up. Try switching to a full body routine that's around 30 sets total. Include lots of mult-joint movements. An excellent additional to a getting ripped routine is the clean and press. You can use either dumbbells or a barbell for this. Just because you are getting "pumped" on this exercise, don't underestimate its benefit go getting you cut.

So there you have it. If you want to get ripped just incorporate these suggestions into your workouts and you will be well on your way to getting ripped fast.

The No Equipment, No Problem Get Ripped Workout

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:14:00 +0000

No matter what your fitness level, there are times where you will not have any exercise equipment available to you. Whether that's because you enjoy working out at home, away from the hustle and bustle of the gym or because you're a die-hard gym rat on vacation, you need a workout that you can do without any equipment at all!

The following workout can be done with no equipment and should be performed on two or three nonconsecutive days per week. Make sure you warm up with some light stretching and a quick (5 minute) jog.

Beginner: Do each of the following exercises for 1 set, 15 - 20 repetitions.

Intermediate: Each of the following for 2 - 3 sets of 15 - 20 reps. Take a short rest between sets.

Advanced: Each exercise for 3+ sets of 15 - 20 reps. Take a short rest between sets.

If you need to make these exercises more challenging, try;
(a) using one limb at a time - one legged squats, one arm pushups, etc;
(b) slowing the reps down and taking 8 - 10 seconds to complete each rep;
(c) concentrate on working the muscles as hard as possible.

The Workout:

Squats: Place your feet shoulder width apart and tighten your abs. Puff your chest out and slow squat down, sitting back on your heels and keeping your chest up, shoulders back, and chin neutrally aligned. Go to 90 degrees (the crease of your hip should be below your knee) and return.

Calf Raises: Use a chair for balance, if needed. Lift one leg off the ground. With the other leg slowly push up onto your toes, so that your heel comes off the ground. Try to extend as high as possible. Lower back down and repeat.

Lunges: Stand with one foot 3 - 5 feet in front of the other. With your weight evenly distributed over each foot, lower yourself towards the floor. Your front leg should make a 90 degree angle at the knee. Your back leg should be close to 90 degrees. Do not allow the front knee to extend over the toe. Contract your glutes and push through your front heel to return to the upright position.

Walking Lunges: The same as lunges, except link them together by taking a giant step forward with your lead foot. Make each rep 1+ lap around the room.

Pushups: Place hands just outside shoulder width, place knees or toes on the ground. Tighten your abs and lower your body down, keeping your head, butt, and heels in perfect alignment. Touch your chest to the ground and come back up.

Standing Side Leg Lift: Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, using a chair for balance if needed. Slowly lift your right leg to the side, keeping your toes, ankle, knee, and hip aligned. Raise your leg about two feet and slowly lower it back down to the ground.

Dips: Using a chair or bench, put your hands next to your hips. Lower your hips in front of the chair, using your arms to support your upper body. Continue lowering until your shoulders are beneath your elbows. Keep your body close to the bench or chair. Raise up for one complete repetition.

Back Extensions: Lying face down with hands behind your back. Lift your upper body a few inches off the ground, keeping your neck, shoulders, and head aligned. To increase the difficulty, contract your glutes and hamstrings and lift your legs off the ground. Hold for 4 seconds.

No matter what your ability, this simple workout can deliver a safe, effective workout in pretty much any situation. You don't need any fancy equipment and there are no long lines or crowded gyms to deal with. To enhance your physical performance and achieve your fitness goal, whether that be muscle gain, toning, or weight loss, try combining this workout with a healthy diet and proper supplementation.

You should be consuming between 1 and 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body mass. You can find protein in foods like red meat, chicken, turkey, tuna, and nuts. Eat plenty of leafy greens such as spinach and arugula. And make sure to drink plenty of water - 64 ounces per day will keep your body hydrated and performing optimally.

In addition, consider adding a supplement to your workouts.

If your goal is to build a fitter, toned, or stronger body then you need to give your body the amino acids, sugars, and other essential components it needs to build strong, healthy muscle. You can increase your endurance and work capacity dramatically by adding a Nitric Oxide supplement to your routine. Not only does it increase blood flow to your muscles, but it a key component of driving the necessary muscle-building compounds to your muscles. It will also decrease your recovery time, prevent injuries, and make you a stronger, better athlete.

Getting Ripped - Workout With Your Bodyweight to Lose Fat Fast

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:13:00 +0000

Everyone wants to get super ripped. But many people are doing this at the expense of their health. Being ripped is one thing, but if you're not healthy, then whats the point? Many professional bodybuilders have been quoted as saying, "It's not how you feel, it's how you look."

Well, guess what. I want to look and feel good at the same time. You don't think it's possible? It's possible with bodyweight training. Bodyweight training is one of the easiest ways to burn fat and develop a better looking body. Ever since I began training with just my bodyweight, I've lost weight and improved my health. For years, I followed every piece of advice in the bodybuilding magazines I used to read. And for years, I went to the gym religiously, driving after just one goal: get ripped. What actually happened was that I became fatter, was constantly tired, and was completely unhealthy.

After a blood test ordered from my doctor, I noticed that my triglycerides were high, and my cholesterol was borderline. I thought I was eating healthy. But I guess the 6 times per day eating schedule was getting to me. I also used the "1 pound of protein per bodyweight" recommendation. I told what happened to a friend of mine, who also used to train with my in Karate a few years earlier. He told me he still trains with the exercises they made you do in Karate:pushups and bodyweight squats. I looked at my friend and noticed that he was in great shape.

After that day, I began training with my friend. He would combine some Karate drills with basic bodyweight movements and train around 20-30 minutes at a time. It was a very refreshing change, as I was training up to 2 hours at a time in a commercial gym. Later that summer, I quit the gym, and started training with my own bodyweight, all on my own. Sometimes my friend and I will still meet up and have pushup and chinup contests. I win 90% of the time! Bodyweight exercises have increased my strength, endurance and flexibility throughout my entire body.

Instead of hitting the gym for 2 hours, I just put together a handful of bodyweight movements and start jumping, crawling, pushing, and pulling through a body weight workout. There's nothing like an intense bodyweight workout to get the day started!

You know what, speaking of bodyweight exercises there's a great 3-phase fat loss system you need to check out called the Bodyweight Blueprint for Fat Loss. You can find out more information about this incredible bodyweight fat loss program on my site, WorkoutWithoutWeights.Net.

The Triangle of a Get Ripped Workout

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:12:00 +0000

Losing unwanted fats and building muscles does not only have its bearing on your physical look but also on your personality. When you look good, you feel good about yourself and people will see the confidence in you. An excellent get ripped workout focuses on three things, nutrition, weight training and cardiovascular exercises. If you exclude any of these things, you will not achieve the body you are striving for. Here are the things you must know in each component.

Nutrition

Your nutrition plays a role in your get ripped workout. If you want to reduce the fats and create a leaner body figure, you must watch what you eat. Because your goal is to burn fats, you have to reduce your fat intake. Take complex carbohydrates and limit the consumption of simple carbohydrates like sweets. To build the muscles you want, you have to increase your protein intake. Eat foods rich in nutrients to assist your cells. Get protein from healthy sources like lean meat, fish, soya beans, nuts and legumes. Some aficionados recommend the use of supplements to make the process faster.

Weight Training

When it comes to building muscles, you have to take weight training to increase your strength and endurance and to increase the size and shape of the individual muscle cells. It focuses on the number of repetitions, sets, tempo, exercise type, and weights. Generally, the weight training program is a safe exercise but as with other trainings, it can lead to injury with improper manipulation.

Cardiovascular

Get ripped workout will never be complete if you miss the cardio part. As an indispensable ingredient of your training, you have to incorporate the exercises in your daily routine. Otherwise, your efforts will be futile and your get ripped workout will be stagnant.

Get ripped workout can only be effective if you follow the triangle of success. If you follow this, you are sure to reap the fruits of your labor in no time.

Muscle weight gain will require building muscle, eating right, and eating at the right times. Learn how to accelerate your Muscle weight gain with secret tips and strategies from a renown professional.

2 Easy Steps Towards a Get Ripped Workout

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:09:00 +0000

Summer is just around the corner, and the moment has arrived to just chill and relax under the sun. It is time for the barbecues, pool parties, beaches, and for any real bodybuilder these things mean just one thing: It's time for the shirts to come off and put on display that rock hard body they've been working on over the past year. Nobody wants to be strolling around with a smooth, flabby, and soft body. So for the next month or so, all of these bodybuilders will be shifting into a regular get ripped workout routine. How do they usually go about this? They lighten up the weights and perform higher reps. This has always been a widely accepted method of "cutting down" and if you ask most trainers in the gym they'll tell you that "heavy weights bulk up the muscle and lighter weights define the muscle". Do you want to know the reality behind the "light weight and high reps" method of obtaining a ripped and defined physique?

It is completely, totally and utterly DEAD WRONG. It couldn't be farther from the truth. In fact, there is no logical basis for this way of training whatsoever, and whoever dreamed up this downright ridiculous way of thinking has caused the vast majority of lifters to waste their time and impede their progress during their get ripped workout. Let me clear this up once and for all: you CANNOT spot reduce. In other words, it is physically impossible to target fat loss from a specific area on your body. Performing bench presses with light resistance and high repetitions will not magically burn fat off of your chest or cause it to appear harder and more defined. Every single time you wrap your hands around a barbell, dumbbell or cable, your goal is to stimulate as much muscle growth as you possibly can. There are no special, secret get ripped workout exercises that will "define" your muscles or cause them to become more "ripped".

Training with weights builds muscle mass, end of story. So how exactly do you "define" a muscle? The only way to "define" a muscle is by lowering your body fat level in order to make your muscles more visible. Body fat reduction can be achieved in two ways:

1) Modify your diet. You should lower your overall caloric intake to around 15x your bodyweight and focus on consuming smaller meals more frequently throughout the day. This will keep your metabolism naturally raised at all times and will keep your body in a constant fat burning state. Limit your intake of saturated fats and simple sugars, and focus instead on consuming lean sources of protein and low glycemic carbohydrates. In a get ripped workout, this is important. It is also very important to keep your water intake high at a level of around 0.6 ounces per pound of bodyweight.

2) Perform proper cardio workouts. Let go of the traditional method of moderate intensity cardio in 30-45 minute durations. If you want to maximize your body's fat burning capacity and also minimize the muscle loss that inevitably accompanies a fat burning cycle, focus on shorter cardio workouts performed at a high level of intensity.

These types of get ripped workout routines will shoot your resting metabolism through the roof and will allow you to burn maximum amounts of fat even when you are at rest. I recommend 3-5 high intensity cardio sessions per week, spaced at least 8 hours away from your weight workouts. That's all there is to it, folks. Take the notion of "light weight and higher reps" and throw it right out the window, down the street and around the corner. Following this misguided method will only cause you to lose muscle mass and strength, and will not assist you in burning fat or defining your physique. All you need to do to mold those rock-solid muscles for the summer time is this:

1) Train with heavy weights and low repetitions to build maximum muscle mass.

2) Modify your diet and implement cardio workouts to eliminate body fat and create visibly harder and more defined muscles.

End of story. Best of luck in your get ripped workout routines. I'll see you at the beach!

Get Ripped Workout - What Works and What Does Not

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:08:00 +0000

First let me just explain that a well toned athletic body is the most sought after body in the world. When the majority of people exclaim that they want to have a nice body this image is the first that enters their head. So when people describe the body of their dreams this for the most part is what is being described.

So how do you get this kind of body?

Most stated that this must be through hard strength training. Others stated that this comes through endurance and toned training. Well they are both right. Fact is if you focus on both of these types of training you can build fast toned muscle and get the body that you have always wanted (without the use of steroids).

Strength training is prefect for packing on the muscle however if this is the only type of training that you focus on then you will eventually get a bulky awkward muscle that simply does not look that good. On the flip side if you only focus on endurance and toning training the muscle you do get will be well defined. With that said good luck getting muscle. Your gains will be so minimal it would hardly be worth your time.

If you combined the 2 types of training you will get the body of your dreams.

Here is a real short example. Take any exercise involving free weights. The first thing you do is determine your 1 rep max. That is the most amount of weight you can do (without killing yourself). After you have found this number repeat the exercise at 80% of the weight doing 3 sets of 8. After that wait an hour then do the same exercise at 50% of the weight doing 10 sets of 50.

You will see a brand new body in a very short amount of time doing this. Just remember to let your muscles rest for an hour or so before repeating. And do not over do this. Add this into your workout rotation and you'll see great gains without injuring yourself.

Get Ripped Workout - 4 Critical Mistakes to Avoid

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 09:38:00 +0000

What is the best get ripped workout? There are tons of different programs out there, and just doing a quick Google search will make this readily apparent. The truth is that most "muscle gaining secrets" do not work...and may actually hinder your efforts.

What are the 4 critical mistakes most programs make?

#1) Too many exercises

There are only a few exercises that will get you results, and spreading yourself thin will just reduce your energy for those critical few.

#2) Doing the exercises the WRONG way

First, remember that while the exercises you do are important, how you do them is the deciding factor to whether or not you get results. The key in getting ripped...developing flat 6 pack abs...or getting huge biceps fast...is lifting a lot of weight as quickly as possible.

A lengthy get ripped workout will negate your progress because you are actually training your body for endurance...not muscle growth.

Therefore the key is to lift as much weight as possible and to do so as quickly as possible. This "muscle gaining secret" is the only real way to get results.

#3) Narrowly focused exercises

Exercises that get compounding results by targeting many different muscles are the best. Examples would include would include squats...deadlifts...and bench presses.

Sit-ups, crunches, and push ups are far from ideal because they only target 1 muscle group and therefore are a waste of time.

#4) Taking supplements

The truth is that supplements are not a natural way to get protein and other nutrients you need. you can easily get this through your food so supplements are completely unnecessary.

To sum up...

The best get ripped workout is to focus on 3 exercises that have compounding results...do only 1 per day...and do a small number of sets and repetitions for each. These "muscle gaining secrets" are the only way to get guaranteed results.

Discover how to gain 10-30 pounds of solid muscle...in less than 8 minutes per day...without supplements...by checking out http://www.gethugemusclesnow.info

Get Ripped Workout Plan

noreply@blogger.com (James) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 09:36:00 +0000

Throughout my years of working out and studying the human body I have tested and succeeded in creating a great full body workout program that will get you looking ripped in no time. I have formulated a 3 day split program that will push your body to the extreme and I am confident that if you put the time and effort into it, you will see great results.

Monday: Chest and Triceps

Dumbbell Press - 4Sets
Dips - 4Sets
Dumbbell Fly's - 4Sets (Machine or Dumbbells)
Triceps Pull downs - 4Sets

Tuesday: Back and Biceps

Wide Grip Pull up - 2Sets
Close Grip Pull up - 2Sets
Chin ups - 2Sets
Lawnmowers - 2Sets
In and out curls - 2Sets
Preacher Curl - 4Sets
Hammer Curl - 2Sets

Wednesday: Legs and Shoulders

Leg Press - 3Sets
Squats - 3Sets
Calf Raises - 2Sets
Military Press - 3Sets
Shrugs - 3Sets
Straight Arm Raises - 3Sets

Thursday: Repeat Chest and Triceps

Friday: Repeat Back and Biceps

Saturday: Repeat Legs and Shoulders

Make sure before every workout you do a bit of cardio to get warmed up and also to lose fat. Find a flight of stairs in your local gym or wherever you workout. I run down and up 4 long flights of stairs as fast as I can 2 times, and do this for 4 sets. Running up stairs is great for the legs and will get rid of the fat that is hiding your 6 pack. This insane workout program also consists of doing 100 reps or more of abs each day Monday - Saturday.

If you want to get ripped even faster you can also incorporate a morning workout that can be done at home. This workout should be done every morning Monday - Saturday and all exercises should be done till failure.

2 Sets of Push - ups till failure
100 reps of Crunches or other abs exercises
1 Set of Wall Sits till failure
2 Sets of Chin - ups to failure
1 Set of Shrugs to failure
Calf Raises till failure

2 Workouts a day may seem challenging but with effort and the right nutrition and proper rest, this get ripped workout plan will get you shredded in no time.
