Most of us go to the gym to get a better look. But not all know the exact techniques of doing exercise. So what does it take to get a perfect physic?
Once you decide to begin a training regime, formulate a solid game plan. First, decide your goal. Decide on a short, obtainable goal that you can achieve in a short time span.
Also, you have to be patient. You cannot achieve the success overnight rather it will take considerable amount of hard work. But if approach smartly then you will achieve your goal sooner than later.
Be sure you keep the following in mind…
- Getting lean is about 70% dietary effort, 20% proper workout programming technique, 5% psychological (because let’s face it, temptation is around every corner), and 5% sheer determination. If you are thinking to get a good physic, be sure you are you are consuming fewer calories.
About protein intake, you should be consuming a minimum of one gram per pound of body mass in order to prevent muscle loss. Losing weight is of no use if you aren’t losing fat weight. That’s the critical factor that will determine whether you end up looking like a smaller version of your current self at the end of the diet or a version that is leaner and appears more muscular. Remember to take in some protein and carbohydrates around your workout period, for both muscle glycogen replenishment and to help give you the energy you need to get through the workouts in the first place.
- What to consider when designing your workout to get ripped is that you want to cut back on the total number of reps and sets since you won’t have the fuel to recover from strenuous workouts. At the same time, however, try to maintain intensity since it will preserve your strength and muscle tissue mass. Additionally, when you want to get ripped reduce the amount of isolation work you do. This would include movements such as bicep curls, tricep isolation exercises, leg extensions, lateral raises, and so on. You can hit pretty much all the muscle groups in the body with the following exercises: Bench press, Squat, Deadlift, Shoulder press, Calf raise, One ab exercise.
- To round out your workout to get ripped, we have the cardio component. consider doing one to two sprint cardio sessions per week, as these are better suited for burning fat, while maintaining your muscle mass. Do note that two should be your max as far as intervals are concerned, especially if you are lifting heavy with your legs. If you’re doing a full body, three times per week, you’ll likely want to reduce this to one since you still need enough total time for rest. If you are doing squats, deadlifts and other leg exercises Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and throw in intervals on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday (with Sunday off), you will essentially be working legs six days in a row, which would literally destroy you in a matter of a few weeks. Your system simply needs more time to recover with proper program planning.
Far too often people will only focus on one aspect of the equation -- be it diet, weight-lifting or cardio -- which only shorts them of the results they could be seeing when they try to get ripped.
