Workout Questions - Which Supplements To Get Ripped

Workout Question:
Currently, I weigh about 225 pounds at 20% body fat. My goal is to get down to about 190 pounds and 8% body fat. My goal is to look like one of those male fitness models I see on the cover of the fitness magazines. I also want to get ripped so I can get girls and right now I'm a kind of chubby so I'm a little self conscious.

What are your thoughts on all the fat burning supplements I see on the market? Will these supplements actually help me to lose weight and get ripped? How about any other types of supplements like protein powder? Will these help me build lean muscle mass?

Workout Answer:
You don't need supplements if your diet is really solid and you eat enough protein and calories to grow. Supplements like protein powder comes into play when you need a quick and convenient source of quality protein when you don't have time to prepare/cook the protein based foods (chicken breast, egg whites, etc.).

Anyone with a ripped body is most likely adhering to a very strict diet along with a very rigid regimen of cardio exercises to burn extra calories. If getting ripped was easy, everyone would have 6 pack abs. Unfortunately, its very difficult to attain a lean enough physique to showcase ripped abs. Its tough, but you can do it if you're disciplined, determined and focused. It just comes down to how bad you want it.

When you get lean and muscular, girls will start to notice you but that is just the initial step to meeting. Its much more than physical. You still need to interact with girls and take it to another level of conversation. Charisma will help you much more than having a ripped body. The majority of girls out there are more impressed with your character, personality and how you treat them, than what your body looks like.
