5 Things EVERY Ripped Guy Does (COPY THESE!)


Getting ripped and staying ripped forever is not as complicated as some people make it out to be. In fact, it can be boiled down to just five things. In this video, I’m going to show you the 5 things that every ripped guy does that you can start copying in order to get shredded yourself and stay that way forever. No more bouncing up and down in body fat after watching this.


To start, it helps to dispel some of the lies and insignificant methods in which people tend to latch onto in a pursuit of lower body fat. These include things like juice fasts and cleanses, no eating after 6 pm at night, drinking apple cider vinegar to burn fat and doing only fasted cardio to name a few. The issue is not that these methods may not have very very small incremental impacts on your fat loss, it is that they are the equivalent of throwing a deck chair off the titanic to save the sinking ship if you are behind the ball on your current weight. It is not going to work enough to be significant.

Instead, there are 5 tried and true mechanisms that every ripped guy will do that you need to copy if you want to unlock the true secret to long term leanness.

First is that no ripped guy that stays that way forever is dieting. You might be absolutely puzzled by this since it flies in the face of everything you’ve ever been taught. The truth is however, that nobody that stays ripped is dieting. They long ago purged that word from their vocabulary and instead have replaced it with nutrition. When you eat healthy and enjoy the foods you eat you can stick to that style of eating forever.

If the methods of eating that you used to get down to the weight and body fat level you are at were based on deprivation and food group elimination then you will likely not be able to sustain that forever meaning that at some point you are going to wind up putting the weight back on. This is not the right way to go about it. You have to make healthy eating a lifestyle and base it around acceptable foods that you love if you want to unlock the key to being ripped forever.

Next, you must drink a lot of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated will help you to stave off hunger and the confusion of thirst for hunger while at the same time helping you to maintain energy to perform at your best when you train.

Speaking of training, if given the choice between a cardio workout or weight training the guy that stays ripped forever will always choose the weight training session. This is because they know that the biggest key to leanness is putting on muscle. The more muscle you carry the more insulin sensitive your body becomes and the more positively you react to food with less likelihood of fat storage.

In addition, when you lift weights it is important to learn how to lift the weights you should rather than always pursuing the weights you can. This is particular true when your only focus is on strength. In these instances, carrying around a little excess body fat actually works to your advantage to create leverage on most compound lifts. When the obsession is with lifting heavier and heavier numbers then you forget to focus on the quality of the tension delivered to the working muscle and this can have a negative impact on the look of the muscle you are training not to mention set you up for an overreaching injury that will keep you out of the gym for a period of time.

Finally, above all else consistency is required. You must learn how to become consistent with your approach if you want lifetime leanness. It actually isn’t nearly as hard as some would make it out to be since your nutrition is much easier to stay consistent with when you like what you’re eating and your workouts are rewarding.

  1. how many 14 year old athlean wannabes clicked off the video before realising the first ones were fake?

  2. Jeff for president… most honest, reliable and smartest person out there!

  3. This guy missed 1 thing, a good night sleep. 8 good hours of deep sleep, add that and this is golden.

  4. Originally not the biggest fan for some reason until this video; you hit the nail on the head especially with “consistency” being by far the most important. Gonna thank you now instead of later 👍🏻

  5. Jeff. I have costocondritis (diagnosed by an orthopedic.) but my pain isn't intermittent, its more permanent and im going on about almost a year now… I'm getting treatment, but how do I recover from this? how long do I have to wait before I can go back to strength training. What type of upper body exercise can cause this and how would you suggest other people prevent this.

  6. This is just semantics… The word "diet" originally had a different meaning. When we talk about animals, we say every animal has optimal diet. Lions diet is mostly meat. Gorrilas diet is mostly leaves. It has nothing to do with "deprivation"… Some nut jobs created this diet craze where most people think diet means limiting your calories. That's not what diet really means. Your diet is what you eat. Every human and every animal is eating some kind of diet, because whatever you eat, it's called "your diet"… 😀

  7. The 5th thing on the first list is the real deal in the fitness industry. Not all, but majority. Something you can do year round. #1) limits time on tren: TRT dose, or slightly more, but higher tren. 525mg Tren E/wk, or 50mg Tren A. ED. #2)Can use tren longer: TRT dose or slightly more, 25mg Tren A ED, or 260mg Tren E/wk. For your blast during the year,you need to use high test, around 800mg to 1g. with higher dose of AI, and keep caloric intake the same that maintains your weight, or slightly more. Higher test dose increases metabolic rate, and requires you feed the body more to grow. If you don't increase caloric intake, you will shed fat and stay lean. 12.5mg Aromasin EOD. If you want to add more mass, decrease AI and use Nolvadex(increase in estrogen, strength, water weight and joint cushion) (nolvadex blocks risk of gyno symptoms due to elevated estrogen)and slightly increase caloric intake. Been doing this for years. It's science.

  8. How about getting plenty of pussy? I heard that guys who get lots of pussy are in great shape!
