The goal of this ‘Get Ripped‘ series is to give you strategies that both work, and are easy to follow. In order to get ripped, and stay ripped 365 days a year, there has to be alterations in our lifestyle. Dieting and following fads will always fail. But living a healthy life, and living in a way that is both fun, and easy to follow will last forever.
I’ve stayed at – or around – the same weight and same body-fat percentage for more than a couple years now, not because I live a strict life or because I have insane genetics, actually both are far from the truth. Instead I’ve figured out foods that taste great and are great for maintaining muscle, but also fat loss.
I mean, I have French Toast 4 times a week (syrup and all). I have grass fed beef burgers (no bun) with cheese, pickles, and mustard 4 or 5 times a week. I drink beer, Scotch, and smoke cigars. Yet, I’m in the best shape of my life. A miserable life filled with restriction isn’t a prerequisite for a life lived with our ideal physique.
Over this article, we’re going to go over some of the tricks I’ve incorporated in my dieting that have helped me see the results I want to see without making a ton of sacrifices in my lifestyle. We’ll also talk about some effective supplementation techniques that help us build muscle and burn fat at the same time.
The two top questions I get asked when I’m at the gym are:
What are you training for?
What are you taking?
“Taking” of course means what supplements am I using. My attitude towards supplements is a bit of a mixed one. “Real foods” are packed with more nutrition, and a steadier stream of amino acids that your muscles crave and need for recovery. On the other hand supplements can help you out when you’re in a rush.
All the nutrients you need to burn fat and gain lean muscle can be found in real food, which should be your focus. Read the rest of this entry »
I’ll start this blog post off with an intellectually stimulating joke.
So there’s this old Italian guy who’s new to the US and he’s still got his thick accent. His neighbors hate him so he asks his son, “whya do the neighborsa hate me? Whata I do to them?”
Try a cup before your next workout, it helps speed up the fat burning process.
His son says “I don’t know, what have you said to them?”
So the old Italian guy says “Every morninga I walk outside, I see them on the stoop and say OH! You wanna go fa-coff?”
Coffee’s great before I workout!
I just started drinking it within the past year and I pretty much keep it to just before a workout.
The caffeine obviously has the positive effect of boosting your energy and helping you focus on the task at hand – making muscles – but it also speeds up the fat burning process.
The more intense your workouts are, the more successful you’ll be in reaching your fitness related goals. I’ve found that coffee has helped out with this big time.
My workouts are short and intense. I have a couple shots of espresso on the drive to the gym. When I get there I get right to it, not wasting any energy, I want everything I have to go into my workout and by the end I’m absolutely spent!
– but it also speeds up the fat burning process.
