5 Things EVERY Ripped Guy Does (COPY THESE!)
Getting ripped and lean and staying that way forever is not as complicated as some people make it out to be. In fact, it can be narrowed down to a list of just five things. In this video, I’m going to who you the 5 things that every ripped guy does that you can start doing yourself in order to get s
So, you want to be ripped? Good. Because I know a thing or two about being lean. And I will tell you this, I boiled it down to five things. I made a list that you can copy, and if you do, I promise you the same thing will happen for you too.
As a matter of fact, it’s not just me, everybody that’s lean and ripped does exactly these five things. Number one right here, perform fasted cardio at least three times per week, ideally before 6 a. m. Okay, the earlier the better. Number two, include no carb and high carb days twice each week.
And that’s twice, no more, no less. Number three, I hope you’re writing all these down, drink one teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar 30 minutes after waking. I’m sure you’ve probably heard about Apple Cider Vinegar and its benefits 30 minutes after waking, please. Number four is a big one, never eat after 6 p. m.
Mom told you that I’m sure, you should listen to mom. Number five, all important, number five. Here we go, cycle low dose tren with Trt. If you — Oh, wait. Hold on, there’s one other one here too.
Oh, it’s a bonus tip, listen to the Liver King. [video plays] If you sun your balls, that shows that it does improve androgens. So, sun your balls? Sun your balls. Perfect.
[Video ends] Yeah, don’t do that. As a matter of fact, don’t do anything on this list because none of this stuff is going to get you where you want to be and keep you there. See, guys, I know you’ve been given some of that advice, actual advice, and maybe followed it to no avail. The reason why is because it’s not the actual five things that you need to do. And as someone that knows how to get lean, I will share with you exactly what those five things are.
And if you copy them, I promise you guys no bullshit, straight on, this is what you need to do, and it works every single time. And I will tell you right off the bat, there is no ripped person year-round walking around here that diets, they don’t. As a matter of fact, it doesn’t even belong in their vocabulary. If you want to be lean, maybe even shredded, then the word diet has to go completely by the wayside, and you need to replace it with nutrition. And there’s a big difference between the two.
Nutrition is how you fuel your body. Nutrition is the food that you put in your body to allow you to perform on a day-in/day-out basis, maybe even to a higher level if you’re an athlete or even just working out in the gym. But you need to think about a long-term approach because diet, by its very nature, is a temporary status. We always say, I’m going to go on a diet , meaning that at some point you’re going to be off of that diet. It’s temporary, it’s not sustainable.
And oftentimes from a sustainability standpoint, you’re opting for things that are deprivation based. I’m going to remove this from my diet, or I’m going to restrict my time to this time eating each day. They’re so far from what you do right now, how are you going to actually sustain that? And the trick about dieting is whatever method you use to create the weight loss that you get, and I’m not saying that there’s not many methods that create lots of weight loss, it’s going to be the same method that you’re going to need to maintain if you want to maintain that weight loss. So, at some point, if you’ve picked a method that you can’t stick with and you go back to eating the way you used to, you’re never going to be able to maintain that leanness.
Number two, you have to drink lots of water. And I know it kind of sounds like standard advice, but it’s much more than that. Hydrating your body sets the stage to metabolically make this whole process a lot easier. And a lot of us walk around chronically dehydrated. We don’t drink enough water throughout the day.
I’ll ask you right now how much water you drink? You probably don’t even know. I’ll tell you this. It should be about two thirds of your body weight in ounces. So, if you’re 180-pound person, you should be about 120 ounces of water per day.
It might sound like a hell of a lot of water, especially if you’re not drinking nearly that much right now. So, you can become much more conscious about that and when you do, you start to understand better the difference between even thirst and hunger. Because how many times throughout the day do you kind of think, oh, I’m really hungry, but really, it’s just thirst, if you drank a bottle of water, you wouldn’t feel that way. It also helps to hydrate your muscles. Your muscles require water to perform at their best.
And if you want to look your best, ultimately, when you get lean, you don’t want to just be skinny. It actually leads to our next point, when you’re trying to get lean, don’t just do cardio. Don’t focus on cardio over other forms of exercise. The one thing that you should be focused, or the one thing you should be focusing on more than anything else, is going to be weight training. And I know a lot of us don’t do that.
When we think about weight loss or being lean and ripped, we think about how much cardio we can do. Believe me, every cardio bout that you have does burn calories, but to such a minuscule amount in the big picture, when you look at the end game, the bigger contributor is going to be how much lean muscle can you put on your body. Because that active tissue that you walk around with and carry with you becomes a metabolic furnace. It allows you to ingest more calories per day. It gives you more flexibility in terms of some more forgiveness, let’s say, in terms of what you put in your body.
Because you have a depot to store those calories. And when you don’t carry enough muscle around, it becomes infinitely harder. I’m not saying that cardio is useless, I’m not saying that. I’m saying that when it comes to the pursuit of being lean and ripped, nutrition and strength training or weight training are your number 1and 1A they must be there. And too many people skip it.
They go to the gym, and they jump on a treadmill, or they jump on an elliptical and they kind of bypass the weight training. Flip that mentality around. Prioritize weight training at least three times a week. Build as much muscle as you can through progressive overload, and don’t just focus on strength. Because if you become so focused on strength and so in love and infatuated with the numbers of the, the pounds that you’re lifting, sometimes as you get leaner, those pounds will go down just a little bit, you might lose 5% 10% of your strength as you get leaner.
And if you’re solely focused on those numbers and hitting those PRs, then you might actually become a little bit depressed as you become leaner. It’s not going to work. They don’t work together. What I’m saying is focus on building as much strength as possible, but also make sure you have good mind muscle connection, make sure you’re training through with intention, that you’re training the muscles that you want to. And that’s all incorporated in a more well-rounded.
Training plan. Strength training plan. But it has to be there regardless of which exact plan you’re following. Number four, everybody that’s ripped and lean walking around will prioritize their protein. As a matter of fact, the leaner you get and the more towards maintenance calorie levels that you’re ingesting, the more that protein becomes important, because it helps to preserve the muscle that you’ve built.
Right? Even if you get into a slight caloric deficit, the tendency would be to become leaner, you lose some additional muscle at the same time. We don’t want that. And people that are ripped and lean year round
