How to Get THIS Shredded (JUST DO THIS!)

If you want to know how to get shredded and ripped muscle, then you won’t want to miss this video. I’m going to tell you exactly what it takes to be lean and muscular year round no matter what level of body fat you have right now. By the end, you’ll know what the three most important things you must

If I was looking to get as lean as  Helmut, it might require me to— Oh, cut out some of that whipped cream. Cut out whipped cream? Yeah. What kind of a fucking mutant could do that?

What’s up guys, Jeff Cavaliere, athleanx. com. And Jesse, athleanx. com. It’s another Ask Jeff video where we’re  taking your questions and I’m answering them.

Jesse, who’s up today? All right, we got Joe Mama. “Hey, Jeff, how do I get  absolutely shredded like this guy? I mean, I know, you know, a thing or  two about being crazy, lean. And hell, I’d even settle to be your level lean if I  could.

Any guidance would be appreciated. Jeez, it’s not often I’m the fallback option,  you know, for being lean. Okay, here’s the thing, it’s extremely possible, really for  people to be as long as this guy. Really? Absolutely.

Yeah, absolutely. As a matter of fact, I think everyone will be there. They will? Yeah, when they’re dead. When they’re dead.

When  they’re laying as a cadaver in the anatomy lab, they will likely—or when the maggots have gotten  them down to that level, they’re going to be that lean. Guys, that is an absurd level of leanness. And here’s the thing about Joe, I don’t even know enough information about him to answer his  question, even though I think that is extreme, what he’s aspiring to. I don’t have enough  information. Is he at 8% body fat right now, looking to get a lot leaner?

Or is he talking  about getting there and he’s like sitting at 45% body fat and has struggled all his  life to get any level of leanness. But you know what? It doesn’t matter, because  I don’t want this question to necessarily be answerable just to Joe, I want it to be applicable  to everyone that’s watching. So, this is going to be very helpful. All right.

Because it’s going  to help everybody with the way I explain this. Right. All right. So, the first thing is that there is a process, a  defined process that works regardless of where you are right now and where you want to get to  in terms of losing body fat and losing weight. And the thing is, is that this process is tried  and true and it works all the time.

And I’ve mentioned it before, and it’s about being in a  hypocaloric state that allows you to drop your body fat levels and get leaner. Right. Okay, that’s not debatable. I  like to use an analogy, though, when I talk about this process and the  analogy is creating a hole in the ground. Okay.

Now, there’s a lot of ways that we can create a hole in the ground. We can go out the back right  now, take out our shovels and start digging. Oh, and or you to wait for a meteor to strike. Okay, or you can wait for a meteor strike. Oh, you could give your dog a bone and wait  from the dig a hole in the backyard.

Okay. Oh, and last but not least, you can wait for tectonic shift in the place below  the ground and you get a spontaneous sinkhole, that’s a very fast way to make a hole. Okay, you and your disasters. I mean— I’m being prepared. Okay, so regardless of how you want to create  your hole in the ground, it’s the creating of the hole.

And as you dig the hole, the deeper  you are, the lower your body fat levels are. So, we know that the deeper you can create your  hole, the lower your body fat levels are. Now, what those different methods signify to me or the  different ways that people go about losing weight, creating body fat loss. Right. And that is,  let’s say, I don’t know, keto and carnivore or even different styles of eating, intermittent  fasting, you’re going to start to restrict the window within which you eat.

It  doesn’t matter what method you use, again, they’re all being used to become hypocaloric  to allow you to start to achieve success. That being said, even within the method  that you choose, there are variables that will determine your success or failure  using that method. The second thing is the adoption of this method is always going to  require initially some sort of an assessment. Okay. So, let me start filling in the blanks about what I’m talking about here.

So,  let’s say you were going to follow a Keto diet, not my recommendation to you, but let’s say  you’re going to follow a Keto diet. You would have to start making some assessments, all right. What type of foods am I going to need to buy? Right. Because you’ve got to be prepared.

What type of foods can I no longer  eat that aren’t really part of this plan? What are you taking out of your fridge? What am I taking out of the fridge? What do I have to do in terms of preparation? Do I have to spend  extra time preparing the foods that I want to eat?

All these things become considerations of whether  you know it or you don’t, you are subconsciously or consciously making these decisions to prepare  yourself to succeed on that plan. Maybe you can’t even think about preparing foods and the plan that  you need to follow is one that sends food to your house. But all these things are decisions that  are made before you start doing it. I for one, when I started my process way back in my teens,  I sat there and I looked at my current diet plan. I needed to make an assessment about what I was  doing and where I wanted to be.

And where I wanted to be was the magazines that I was reading where  there were guys in these bodybuilding magazines eating oatmeal and egg whites for breakfast  and I’m sitting here eating Frankenberry and, you know, Entenmann’s Donuts  and Dunkin Donuts in the morning. Oh, man. Sounds good, right Jesse? That sounds delicious. So, that’s what I was eating.

So, the thing was, my first assessment  was, Okay, I can eat oatmeal, but I’m not necessarily ready for bland oatmeal. So, I got that maple brown sugar— Oh, these the instant oats. The instant oats, and I ate that. And the thing is, I saw success early with that. Because, I  made, let’s face it, a better choice, even though there’s a lot of sugar in that I made a better  choice.

And that gave me some early results that made me excited and it kind of kept me on track. Well, let’s get back to the digging of the hole, creating the hole. And I want to stick with the  more conventional one if that’s okay Jesse. Oh, you mean digging with the shovel? Yeah, I don’t need the other stuff.

Right. So, the convention, we’re going to dig with a  shovel even there we have to make an assessment, what do I want to use to do this? Do I want a  shovel that’s wider with a flat edge to it? Do I want to shovel that pointy and narrower? Right.

Do I want to take one with a better grip because  I’m worried about getting blisters? We make some initial assessments and then we start digging. But  once we put our shovels in the ground, we are all following the same process, we are all creating a  hole. Whether it happens at the same rate it gets as big as the other person’s, as deep as the  other person’s that is where the differences come in. So, what creates those differences?

Well,  I’m sure that people out there have experienced at some point in time the differences between even  the people within your own household. I hear it all the time, husbands and wives will adopt the  same eating style, they’ll buy the same foods, they’ll eat the same foods. And oftentimes it’s  the ladies that say, “My damn husband, I mean, it’s like it falls off of him and for me, it’s  such a struggle. ” You know? There are differences between people that even when you adopt the  same method, even if you’re using the same shovel to dig in the ground, you’re going to  see different rates of success.

But as long as you keep digging, you will see success. There are also metabolic deficiencies that people can have. It can become
