How to get buff not ripped?
5% body fat? Dude, your 'friends that don't workout' look nothing like you :P Omg I bet they can use you in science class to show all types of muscles :P You are missing one thing that I have no idea how you missed to begin with if you have been working out for 3 years now. Ripped = less body fat. The less you have the more visible your muscles will look. Buff = more muscle weight/size. The bigger they are the more buff you will look. I said 'more muscle weight'. To gain weight (any weight) you need to eat more than you burn, that's all. Muscles don't grow on thin air. If you don't eat enough for them to grow on, no amount of workout will gain you anything. And I think you just proved that. A bodybuilder can weigh 300+ lbs easy (mostly muscle). How do you think they get to be that heavy? "I eat lots of foods rich in protein, I take creatine and protein shakes" What you are eating right now is enough so you don't lose any muscle. But it's not even close to build any muscle. Hell, you are barley eating enough to sustain your weight (116 lbs?) your body is struggling and taking what it needs from your body fat. That's why you have a low body fat %. Just eat more, much much more, that's all. Cheers :)
Who Would Fight Longer...Big Fat Buff Guys Or Small Lean Ripped Guys...?

What foods should i eat to get ripped buff body? and lose body fat?
Adelews is absolutely wrong. Fat doesn't make you fat. It helps you burn fat and to feel full. The fatter you are, the more fat you actually need. Carbs and sugar make you fat. Up the healthy fats if you want to get ripper, moderate protein and cut out empty carbs, eat only low to moderate smart ones depending on your level of activity. To tone up do pilates, bodyweight/resistance training, lifting... Check out marks daily apple, diet doctor, wheat belly blog, authority nutrition to learn about nutrition for free.
How much time does it take to get ripped after joining a gym?
If by ripped, you mean significant muscle growth and low fat so that it shows, it could be 3 years or it could be never.Joining a gym does nothing for a lot of people, cause they either don’t go, or they go and don’t perform.For others, they build a routine and make sure they have mechanisms to stay motivated that actually work. They focus on the dozens of areas of knowledge required to do a good job. Hydration, sleep, proper protein intake, form, volume, other aspects of technique, injury prevention, etc..I do believe Captain America’s Chris Evans was a skinny guy (think Fantastic Four) and became very ripped in about 3 months? Mh interview chris evansEvery pro who does this kind of thing probably uses a dedicated trainer, has no other job distracting them, and visits at least twice a day. It’s time-consuming like a part-time job. Me, I’m going on 4 years and am noticeably bigger, but by no means ripped. Lots of learning, and lots of good gym time along the way (45 mins/day) but no magic trick yet. I think you need to focus a group or two for many hours each day, then rotate to something else the next day while that heals.
Difference between being Lean, Ripped, Buff, Bulk?
Just wondering exactly what the difference between the four terms are (in a fitness sense). I know them all in basic definition, but what really differentiates these four terms? Also, I want to become well-defined, fit, and well...more muscular, but I don't want to gain a lot of body mass or become bigger - in other words, I want to stay small and relatively skinny, not get huge and noticeable, but get some muscle too. What's the word I'm looking for here? Thanks!
Do you have to diet to get ripped?
You can get buffed without dieting. Byt dieting I mean restricting yourself to certain foods and refraining yourself from consuming pizza and carbonated sweet drinks etc. But maintaining a good physique that way won't be easy. Am not completely saying that it will be possible to look like this without dieting at all.But this is possible :That's Tom Hardy and for this role he basically followed a prison workout. Mostly body weight exercises. When it came to conditioning my body for the role of Charles Bronson there was no official regime: I did very non-specific exercises such as press ups, push ups, abs work and resistance training with the help of my boy Pnut, who is 16 stone of pure muscle and also an ex-US Marine. Essentially I was using him as my machine; he was like a walking gym. My approach was to do a lot of repetitions in order to send messages to my muscles: this helps them start to grow in a way that you can’t make them in the gym. To achieve dense muscle, you need a specific kind of training. Also, to “become” Charlie Bronson I had to quickly put a lot of weight quickly on my forearms, chest and neck. By the time I’d finished, my legs looked like those of a stork in comparison to the top half of my body.There wasn't really a diet. He ate a lot of pizza and had coca cola too. I had five weeks to make the transition into Britain’s most dangerous criminal and it was a race against the clock: We didn’t have any time to waste, so I started eating and my arse very quickly got very fat. For Bronson, I put on about 7lbs a week — with no steroids. In the end I’d put on about 2 and a half stone by eating chicken and rice, which was my staple diet throughout the day. Then I’d have a pizza, Häagen-Dazs and Coca-Cola: So not good stuff, but I had to put weight on. I needed to put a layer of fat on my body, because Bronson when he was younger was a big guy, a brawler. My diet was lenient as we weren’t going for the Bruce Lee look and we weren’t looking for the cut.This is what happened when he trained with a cleaner diet though:You get the point right? Hope this answer made sense.Oh yeah, you really have to kick ass in the gym to get this done? A lot of intense training. Or else you'd just get really really fat. Diet is 60% of the battle when it comes to fitness.
Do fat people get ripped easier than skinny guy?
It is very hard to say as everyone is difficult and there are so many variables on the path to being ripped.In my limitied experience helping people lose fat or gain weight the real limiting factor is mental/psychological not physical. People have their habits they have built up over years/decades, fears, beliefs, weaknesses etc. I think more than anything it just comes down to eating. Can you eat an extra 500 calories every day or 500 calories less every day. Most people can do some exercise. Really if a skinny person eats enough while lifting weights for a few years they will become ripped. In the same way that a fat person, unless they have a huge amount of weight to lose will be able to get ripped if they workout and eat a calorie deficit for whatever amount of time it takes.It might be a skinny person should be able to do it quicker as a lot of fat people may not have much more muscle than the skinny person, so it might be they are one year behind the skinny person, again maybe not psychologically.
Women...do you like your men: Skinny, big, fat, or ripped?
here is a piece of advice. Personality is the most important thing not shape! and since you asked this question, you got no personality at all. so women will never like you unless your self confident. I know your not gonna like the answer but its the truth man. stop worrying about your shape and worry about how you act in front of them and how to get their attention. good luck!
What's the best way for a fat guy to get buff?
First of all, you need to think in perspective. Sometimes you need to take a step back in order to make two steps forward.Contrary to what the fitness magazines and many “experts” claim, it is extremely hard to add muscle and lose fat at the same time, especially without specific supplements and/or steroids. Furthermore, every time you go on a cut, chances are you will lose some muscle as well. On the other hand, when you go on a bulk, you will add some fat as well. A proper nutritional and training regimen will help you minimize the lost amount of muscle when cutting and minimize the amount of fat you gain while bulking.But how is this relevant to your question?Well, if you want to get buff then you need to go on a bulk. In other words you will be eating more than you are burning off in order to have extra “material” to build muscle. The problem is that because you are already fat (as you’ve stated in your question), you might reach dangerous levels of body fat percentage (getting close to obesity). Obviously this is not good.The bigger problem is that you cannot lose fat cells. You can enlarge then and you can shrink them. However, when you enlarge the fat cells too much and they cannot accomodate the extra fatty acids, new fat cells are created. See where I am getting with this? If you continue gaining fat, eventually you will be creating more fat cells, that you can only shrink later on. The more fat cells you have, the more difficult it is to lose fat later on.So what’s the solution?The first thing you need to do is go on a cut. You need to burn off as much fat as possible, since this will give you the freedom to bulk for a longer period of time after that. You will also look much more muscular and defined when you are leaner.A good rule of thumb is to drop down your body fat percentage to at least 15%. Ideally, I would go between 10% and 12%, but anything below 15% is fine. Then you start gaining muscle (by clean bulking) until you reach about 18%-19% body fat. Then you repeat the cycle.It may sound like a poinless thing to do, but after every cycle you will end up with lower body fat percentage and more muscular until you get the physique you’ve always wanted.For more similar answers, please follow me on Quora.If you want to follow my weight loss plan including detailed information about nutrition, training and supplementation, please check out the programSomAtomic Weight Loss.
