To get ripped you need to focus on your diet not your work-out routine.
As far as strength, you need to use heavier weight and less reps. You should put an additional rest day during the week, and work-out on saturday or sunday if possible. ------------------ Just because the majority believes it, does not make it true! |

I agree with Prince. The ONLY way to get ripped is to lose body fat. Look at someone who is thin but doesn't lift, there ab muscles show, there bicep muscle shows, ect... They may be puny but they show, now imagine the same thing on someone who lifts such as yourself,..ripped!
Good Luck! ------------------ Can't never did nothin,(Dedicated to my father) |

I suggest reading Flex magazine they have some pretty good ideas in them. Or you can just look at some past posts here in Xtreme-Forums.com
