Skinny to aesthetic image

You’re the envy of your inner circle, at least in one room: the kitchen. You can pound back a 4 for $4, a full Domino’s pie, and a carton of ice cream without gaining an ounce of body fat.

Now, you’re ready to leave that skinny guy honor behind and replace it with a new one, a lean and aesthetic build that the ladies dig and the guys idolize.

But with a metabolism of a hummingbird — which eats its weight in nectar a day — and the title of “hard-gainer” pinned to your name tag, how do you go from a skinny to aesthetic physique?

These nine tips will help you drop that excuse for good:

5 Best Supplements to Get a Ripped Body

By

Ripped body supplements image

Let’s admit it – being ripped is incredibly appealing. Problem is, it’s a really hard place to get to, and even harder to remain there. That being said, we can certainly make it easier with the correct supplementation!

Supplements should remain that, supplements. They cannot replace a good diet, and you cannot out supplement a bad training plan. We can still get the most out of each one when used correctly!

But where do you even start? Which supplement is the one most people can actually benefit from?

Simply put, protein powder. Protein has been shown to aid in muscle gain, fat loss, and recovery, yet so many people just don’t prioritize it.

And our top pick is Swolverine’s Whey Protein Isolate. Isolate protein powders tend to be easier on the stomach due to their composition. They’ve been filtered extensively, and they’re also Hydrolyzed, meaning they break down faster.

With 26 grams of protein per serving, added enzymes to improve digestion, and only 1g of carbohydrates per serving, you can rest easy knowing this is the ideal protein powder for a fat-loss journey.

Not only is it a banger quantitatively, but the quality of the product is substantial, to say the least. There are 4 great flavors to choose from, and every tub has the scoop right on the top!

Okay, maybe that last part is a bit of a white lie.

With the basics covered, it’s time we delve into the rest. Bodybuilders certainly don’t get to 4% body fat whilst only sipping on protein powder, right?

What Does it Mean if Someone is Ripped?

What does it mean if someone is ripped image

We’ve all heard someone describe someone else as “ripped” without any explanation, but we all knew exactly what they meant.

Dictionary.com defines “ripped” as “drunk; intoxicated.” I’m totally kidding, that is a definition, but not the one I’m actually referencing here.

The real definition is: “having well-defined muscles; very muscular.”

Don’t worry though, I know that doesn’t give a very detailed look. I’ll examine what it means in terms of numbers, or quantifiable data, to give a more complete understanding.
