Exercise for Men Only: Get Lean, Muscular and Ripped

To acheive a lean and muscular physique there are, most likely, several aspects of your training and lifestyle that we need to examine.

Most men, who are looking to build muscle and reduce body fat, are willing to make the trip to the gym 3-4 days per week (perhaps performing the exact same exercise routine they did last week).

Many men are willing to shell out hundreds of dollars on supplements each month hoping for a quick fix.

But few men are willing to accept that what they are currently doing in the gym (and out of the gym) may not be working. Let me ask you this: Do you really look any different than you did six months ago?

If you're ready to see some changes in your body, it may be time for a few lifestyle changes.

Training Program

The first thing we need to look at is your training program. You do have a training program right? Is your current training program producing the results you want? You can't expect to keep doing the same things over and over again and somehow get a different result.

You need a structured, organized, progressive weight training plan that will challenge you, keep your muscles in a constant state of growth, and burn calories during and after your workout.

Whatever your fitness goals may be, exercise for men only should include a wide variety of exercises and movements. Your body adapts quickly, and to keep it growing you have to keep it guessing.

I highly recommend Vince DelMonte's No Nonsense Muscle Building as one of the best training programs on the market today.

Cardio

Next, let's take a look at your cardio routine. Exercise for men only should most definately include an aerobic conditioning program. Are you performing cardio on a regular basis? How many times per week? What is your preferred method of cardio?

Are you working hard enough to burn off those extra calories, or do you spend your time checking out the girls? If you want the girls to check you out instead, you've got to make the commitment. Reducing body fat requires that you expend more calories than you consume. It's time to sweat it out.

Nutrition

What about your nutrition? This is where most guys really miss the boat. It's not all that difficult to commit to weight training for an hour, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The commitment to nutrition is 24 hours a day. (Ok, I'll admit it, even I have a cheat meal once in a while.)

If you really want to see that six pack you have hiding under that layer of fat, you've got to start eating better. Abs are built in the kitchen, not in the gym.

Are you eating fresh foods instead of frozen or fast foods? Are you eating 5-6 smaller meals per day? Do you include a lean source of protein and a complex carbohydrate source in each meal?

If you're not following these guidelines, there are plenty of ways to clean up your diet.

Grab A Training Partner

A good training partner will keep you motivated and push you to do a little more. It's also a good idea, for safety purposes, to have a spotter. I encourage you not to get a training partner who is the know-it-all type. They probably have years of bad habits they'll try to push on you.

Choose someone who has similar goals and is at about the same ability level as you are. This person should be one who is willing to learn to do things the right way.

You can build plenty of muscle and burn tons of calories with an exercise for men only training plan. Just make sure to have all your components in place, and be ready to do a little work to get there.
