2 Simple Steps To Ripped Shredded Muscles
Building muscle, the straight scoop on getting ripped shredded muscle... Picture this scenario... You've been training your tail off for the past 4 months, trying to pack on as much muscle size as you possibly can. You've bulked up considerably and are quite happy with the size you've been able to achieve. Bodybuilding is paying off for you. There's just one problem... Along with all of that solid, lean muscle you've gained, you notice that you've also packed on some excess body fat in the process. Let's face it, no matter how "huge" you might be, no matter how long you've been bodybuilding, no one wants to be walking around with a soft, smooth and flabby body. After most trainees have finished their "bulking" phase, they decide that it's time to "cut down" and strip off the excess body fat that they gained due to their high calorie, bodybuilding diet. 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 building muscle and 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 bodybuilding whatsoever, and whoever dreamt up this downright ridiculous way of thinking has caused the vast majority of lifters to waste their time and impede their progress in the gym. 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. It's not a smart way of building muscle! 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 bodybuilding 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 percentage in order to make your muscles more visible. Body fat reduction can be achieved in two ways: 1) Modify your diet. You'll need to create a slight caloric deficit within your body to stimulate the fat burning process. This can usually be achieved by lowering your overall caloric intake to around 12-14x your bodyweight and focusing 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. 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 (and maximize building muscle) that inevitably accompanies a fat burning cycle, focus on shorter, 15-minute cardio workouts performed 3-5 times per week at a high level of intensity. 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. if you're looking for the complete inside scoop on maximizing your muscle gains and lowering your body fat levels, check out my 250-page e-book "The Truth About Building Muscle".
