Top 3 Ways of Getting Ripped Muscles Fast

Building muscle is not easy. In fact, it can be terribly hard even when working out on a regular basis with hard workouts and even using supplements.

For years I've been trying to gain a good amount of muscular mass and during those times I realized that you need to know what you're doing. With experimentation, I've found out what works and what doesn't, to make it possible for everyone to gain muscular mass, even the ones that aren't as genetically ready as others.

That is why I'm giving you the 3 most important tips to make that exercise pay off.

1. Use big multi-joint compound exercises. Whether the goal is fat loss or muscle building, 95% of the exercises you perform should be of this type. They'll help you get lean, ripped and powerful. Here are some exercises you can do that will work miracles: * upper body horizontal press (bench press, pushups, dips), * upper body horizontal rows (1-arm dumbbell rows, seated cable rows, bent over barbell rows), * upper body vertical pull (lat pulldowns, pullups, chinups), * upper body vertical press (overhead dumbbell and barbell presses, barbell or kettlebell clean & presses) * lower body squatting movements (front squats, back squats, overhead squats, bodyweight squats, etc) * lower body deadlifting movements (regular deadlifts, sumo deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts) * lower body single leg movements (lunges, step-ups, jump lunges, etc) * abdominal and core exercises (these are important, but still are 2nd priority after all of the major upper body and lower body multi-joint movements as your abs/core will also be worked on the previous exercises.

That should comprise about 95% of the exercises you do. What about the rest, you may ask? Those should focus on single joint exercises, such as bicep curls, tricep presses, calf presses, shoulder shrugs, shoulder lateral raises, pec flyes, etc.

2. Train hard. You'll need to train hard and intensely for 3-4 days a week from 45 to 60 minutes for a weight training workout. More than that can be unhealthy (causing excess catabolism). Use combinations of exercises that don't interfere with each other, but allow you to maximize your training. This combination of exercises made it possible my first significant muscle mass gain. About the calorie intake, it will depend on whether you want to burn fat of gain muscular mass.

3. Eat clean. This is important so I'll say it again: EAT CLEAN! The quality of protein (extremely important when gaining muscular mass), vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, for instance is important, as when they come from whole foods such as eggs, meats, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, for example, are absorbed in a much easier way than replacements that are bought from stores.

Don't follow those overhyped workouts that appear on some muscle mags that will only work on professional bodybuilders or people on steroids. Don't consume those hyped up supplements that are extremely expensive and get no results. If you follow this guide, you'll see results the healthy way, and faster than you could expect!
