How To Get a Ripped Chest

By James Traynor

A lot of people would like a large muscular ripped chest as many would agree that they look great under a shirt or T shirt and when taking the top off down the beach or at the pool. One of the key important areas to address when looking at getting a ripped chest is fat loss.

A great set of pecs and ripped abs will undoubtedly catch everybody's eye and make you feel and look great. It gives a great shape to the front part of the body and makes you look fit and healthy. However, if you have a thick layer of fat over the pectoral muscles you will just look flabby and fat with no shape at all and worse still you might develop man boobs.

To get a large, toned ripped chest many people mistakenly believe that you have to churn out thousands of bench presses. Indeed, this exercise will help build up the muscles but will not give you an athletic ripped look as it will not get rid of the fat layer over the chest. Getting rid of this fat layer is the biggest hurdle to get over. It is possible for even a skinny guy to get a fabulous looking chest just by getting rid of this fat.

I guess you want to know what this great secret is, right? To be truthful it is not that much of a secret. In order to get rid of this fat layer you need to reduce your intake of calories and burn any excess calories off.

If you are a body builder, reducing calories may not be such a good idea as it can sometimes send you into a catabolic state and cause you to actually start breaking down that hard gained muscle. A lot of body builders face this dilemma after months of building up bulk and then trying to lose fat. It is a fine balance between keeping the lean muscle mass but getting rid of the fat layer.

One way to achieve this goal is to maintain and adequate intake or calories but increase the proportion of those calories as protein. This is because more calories are actually required to metabolize protein as it does for the same quantity of fat or protein, so reducing fat accumulation.

The next most important thing is to incorporate cardio routines into your workout program to burn those excess calories. Also performing large muscle exercises such as squats can help lose fat as they use huge muscles, such as the quads, that I like to think of as furnaces - requiring lots of calories to burn to perform the workouts.

These techniques can be incorporated together into a full workout program that you can easily follow regularly. Exercises can be found quite readily by searching online which can take some time. The other method is to buy a ready made program.

Most cover all the points mentioned above and are great for building all the muscles in the body and lets face it - just building a great set of pecs is going to make you look silly if you have no muscle elsewhere. They also incorporate fat loss routines that actually work.

The most important thing is that if you want to get a ripped chest quickly, then not to spend time procrastinating but to start working and working regularly. You will be surprised at how fast you will see results. - 17273
