what's your diet like?

No, you don't "need" to get "ripped" in 3 months.

[cablespy]

if your diet's in check, you might also want to add fat burners. choose your poison.

good luck....

Make sure you consume less than 1600cals a day.
I'm assuming you're not fat, so a good addition to your supplement list would be Lean Xtreme.

[thegreatphenom]

Your routine is solid for a beginner. When you get two months in, devote each day to specific body parts. Like

Monday: Legs/Chest
Tues: Biceps/Triceps/ Calves

etc.

[nutsy54]

"Ripped" means less bodyfat. So the first question is. . . Do you have enough underlying muscle mass to actually look decent after a cut? "Ripped abs" aren't impressive if the rest of your body looks like a popsicle stick man

A safe and effective goal is 1-2 pounds loss per week. Without knowing your current stats, there's no way to know if you goal is reasonable. From your current diet & workout routine, a 500 calorie per day difference (less eating and/or more exercise) will lead to one pound lost per week.

The above "assumes" you're looking to cut. But, as noted, there's no way to know if you can get "ripped", or whether that means Cutting or Bulking, without knowing your current stats - Height, weight, bodyfat just for starters.

If he's not trying to cut (which he SHOULD NOT BE if he isn't fat), then 1600 calories is way too low.

I assume he's trying to cut since he said he wants to be ripped...

no i dont, i actually "want" to and not "need" to. good point

not really.


my original plan was to bulk up till about mid november, then cut as much as i can till mid december

that's why i'm currently not watching my diet, i'm just eating as much meat and carbs as possible




you guyst think its possible?

[Berserker_Titan]

I'd bulk all the way till January, then cut after February.
It's really easy to cut (at least for me)

oh I see...
well, you COULD cut in november, intense ****, without loosing lean mass of course, then afterwards do this- Shredded in six days

I highly recommend Lean Xtreme. Great for recomp.

Take RAW veggies and fruits.. (notice i say veggies and fruits, not fruits and veggies) and blend those motha suckas in a blender, with ice and kefir. Two of those per day.. minimum of a liter each time and chug. One for breakfast, and one for lunch. So much fiber, you'll have the most glorious dukes of your life. And better yet you'll be losing weight the healthy way, through your bowels, instead of trying to sweat the fat through your skin. So do that along with supplements, and lean meats, and high intensity workouts, your body will lean very quickly. And remember, don't cook any veggies! Always RAW

Strong bump of a 9 year old thread. I'll bet the OP either succeeded or failed several times over by now.
