Ripped Dreams

In my previous blog 70/30 Rule , I have given a gimps of what a work out schedule is. In this blog I am going to elaborate on the same in more detailed manner. Every professional bodybuilder now, during the early stages of their careers have worked out according to a work out schedule or a chart. Having said that, following a schedule or a chart is not only limited to a beginner -  of course pros do follow work out schedules - but it has it's added advantages to a beginner more compared to a pro. When you step in to a gym, you may see people doing various exercises, using various machines; but, what you don't see is that they have a method to the madness i.e. they do not just hit the gym and do whatever they prefer - however pros have developed their bodies to a level where they hit the gym and if they feel like doing legs, they do legs, if they feel like doing arms they do arms, etc. - they follow an order or a method you may call it to do their workout. This is what we ca

Hitting the gym and working out for some may look like a simple thing and quite straightforward, but it’s not what it looks like to you. There is some science behind it. When you watch a work out video or any bodybuilding motivational video for that matter, you will see men with well-defined muscles work out looking like beasts. Then your mind starts questioning; what makes them look like beasts? Gaining mass or defining your muscles is not just something, but it has some science behind it.

Then the muscle will start re-building. This is the process where the muscle starts growing. When the muscle tries to build the torn fibers, the muscle starts

Most of us guys think that if we go to a gym 24/7 keeping a good work-out schedule in our hands, we will get a well toned physique - which is not the case, always. Having a good work-out schedule or a 'chart' as most of us would call it, can have a major impact in you having a ripped body BUT the impact is only 30%. Now I can imagine the look on your face? Surprising it is. Yet the bitter truth is that. Your exercises will only help you 30% in maximising your gains. The rest is by your diet. "Abs are made in kitchen" It doesn't matter how much you work-out, if you want a physique that can be shown in a beach without hesitating - you need to follow a proper diet schedule along with a good work-out schedule. Most of us underestimates the value of a diet over a workout. It is true and accepted over a period that working out regularly can be the game changer but it is not the primary factor. You can go to a gym twice, trice or even all 7 days of the week, but if
