I need advise on how to get ripped and become stronger

Best thing to do i go to a body building site or variouse fitness sites and do your own research. That way it will most likely be right, you will have a better understanding of what training you undertake and what purpose various types of training and exercises have.

I went to both of those sites and I'm not ripped or strong yet. :(

Takes time brah, it takes time.

I don't post on the forums. I just read countless amounts of articles and ask the writers themselves for questions. There's a lot of funny stuff on some of the forums, but most of the crap that's on the "misc." or "off-topic" section is pathetic.

Get a personal trainer, these are not the forums for that kind of question.

Find a gym and go work out. Buy Mens Health magazine too it really works ;)

If your a beginner i suggest something like this

Day 1: Chest/ Tri

Bench press 5x

DB incline bench 3x

DB flyes 3x

Dips 2x

Tricep extension 3x

ab work

Day 2: Back/ Bicep

Deadlift 5x

DB row 3x

Lat pull down 3x

Curls 3x

Pullups 3x

ab work

Day 3: Legs

Squats 5x

Leg press 3x

Calf Raises 3x

ab work

Make sure you eat 4 to 5 meals a day and get lots of protein.

Always make sure you stay with the big 3 (bench, squats, deadlift). They are the most important exercises.

After you beginner gains, i suggest you add in more workouts and change it to 4 days a week.

btw: Change up your routine every 6-8 weeks. If you feel that your overtraining take a week off.

Hope i helped.

Is that even legal? :?

k thanks, you sure doing cardio AND strength training simultaneously is a good idea? i heard it negates the effect of muscle building. Also, if i just do cardio and lets say lose 8 pounds will it be 8 pounds in fat or maybe 6 pounds in fat 2 pounds in muscle?

i do weights and cardio... well run track so i am assuming that that counts as cardio, but i have never heard that you loose any muscle when you do cardio. infact i think that you actually gain muscle doing cardio because you are working your legs. you wont gain any muscle in your arms but your legs will become more toned and you will get the "ripped" look

i have found that deadlift doesnt do that much because he seems to want to get that "ripped" look. if he wants to get bigger arms then triceps are the best because they take up over half of the arm. if you want to be able to flex and have big muscles then biceps are the way to go.

i have also found that doing forearm work can make your forearms much firmer and stronger. i cant remember what the workout is called but if you take just the benchpress bar and hold it with your hands close together and rest your forearms on the bench then lift and basically do wrist curls, works well.

***dont try to do ANYTHING that you are not 100% sure how to do*** you can really do damage, i would suggest either asking a friend or someone that works in the wight department of the gym. you can even ask someone else that you see working out at the gym.
