The Best Ways To Get a Ripped Chest Fast

By James Traynor

Many people would agree that a big bulging set of pectoral, or chest, muscles look great not only under the shirt but when you take your top off at the pool or beach. One of the most important areas to address in achieving this 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.

So, you're dying to know what the secret is? Well it's not really a great secret. You basically need to get rid of this fat layer by reducing your calorie intake and burning excess calories.

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.

A healthy way to achieve this goal is to maintain an adequate calorie intake and increase the proportion of your calorie intake from protein. It actually takes more calories to burn protein than it does carbohydrate or fat so taking in more protein can help in reducing fat accumulation.

To burn those excess calories incorporating cardio routines into your workout program is very important. A good calorie busting exercise is to work those large muscles in the body such as the quadriceps muscle on the front of the thigh. These powerhouses burn heaps of calories when worked and generate heat.

The aim is to put this information together into a full workout program that you can follow over time. One way is to spend time searching and doing your research on the internet. Another option is to buy a ready made program.

These programs are usually tried and tested so you will know what works and what does not. They will help you build and develop all the muscles in the body as well as enabling you to burn off fat as well.

The biggest obstacle that you will need to overcome, however, is time and indecision. To get anywhere you have to start and just by doing something regularly you will be amazed at how fast you will see results. - 17269
