To get ripped for a photo shoot is useless – who cares? You get ripped for a couple days, then you get fat again – that’s useless.<\/p>\n
And so, rule #1 for supplementation to get RIPPED:<\/p>\n
Don’t take fat burners.<\/span><\/p>\n They raise your HR, make you burn more calories in a day, but when you’re off them, and your HR is back to normal, your body’s used to burning more calories, so you pack on fat once again.<\/p>\n Not to mention the fact that they’re terrible for you. They’re absolutely crap for your heart. So please, don’t take any fat burners to get ripped.<\/p>\n Here’s what you SHOULD be taking though…<\/p>\n How to Get Ripped Forever: Supplement Guide<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0There are a few things that supplements should help you do when trying to get ripped (not\u00a0trying<\/em>,\u00a0getting<\/em> – sorry, we’re not trying anything here, we’re doing).<\/p>\n 1. They should help you maintain muscle mass when you’re eating fewer calories.<\/p>\n Muscle helps us burn fat. We need it. So if a supplement can help us maintain muscle even on a caloric deficit, then we should be using it.<\/p>\n 2. They should help boost our metabolism.<\/p>\n Another thing about supplements, is that they help us save $$$.<\/span><\/p>\n If we were to eat only whole foods, still getting the nutrients that the following supplements give us, we’d have to spend a ton of money. We’d also have to eat far too much food to stay lean and get ripped.<\/p>\n The RIGHT SUPPLEMENTS help us…<\/span><\/p>\n The following supplements help us do both – or one of those prerequisites.<\/p>\n Protein Powder<\/span><\/p>\n Protein powder fits in here for a number of reasons. For one, it makes life easier. It’s a help of a lot easier to get a shake in post workout – within that 15 minute window after a workout – than it is to cook and eat a chicken breast, or some other form of lean protein.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Low Carb<\/em> protein powder that BioTrust has produced is also a better protein than we find in a lot of our foods. It’s ushered to our muscles immediately, it’s easily absorbed, and it helps repair muscle tissue right off the bat.<\/p>\n You should also have a source of protein with every meal. Having a protein powder just makes that easier. Having a high quality source of protein makes it more effective.<\/p>\n Find out more info on how protein helps you burn more fat by clicking the video above.<\/p>\n BCAAs<\/span><\/p>\n I won’t go into it too much in this article, there’s a lot better info if you click the video above…<\/p>\n But BCAAs basically help us maintain muscle even when we’re eating nothing. That is, they force us to burn fat instead of burning muscle which normally happens when we’re in a caloric deficit.<\/p>\n Tip: take up to 4 times what they tell you to take. Take them before, during, and after a workout to get the best results.<\/p>\n\n
