Getting ripped and staying ripped forever is not as complicated as some people make it out to be. In fact, it can be boiled down to just five things. In this video, I’m going to show you the 5 things that every ripped guy does that you can start copying in order to get shredded yourself and stay that way forever. No more bouncing up and down in body fat after watching this.
To start, it helps to dispel some of the lies and insignificant methods in which people tend to latch onto in a pursuit of lower body fat. These include things like juice fasts and cleanses, no eating after 6 pm at night, drinking apple cider vinegar to burn fat and doing only fasted cardio to name a few. The issue is not that these methods may not have very very small incremental impacts on your fat loss, it is that they are the equivalent of throwing a deck chair off the titanic to save the sinking ship if you are behind the ball on your current weight. It is not going to work enough to be significant.
Instead, there are 5 tried and true mechanisms that every ripped guy will do that you need to copy if you want to unlock the true secret to long term leanness.
First is that no ripped guy that stays that way forever is dieting. You might be absolutely puzzled by this since it flies in the face of everything you’ve ever been taught. The truth is however, that nobody that stays ripped is dieting. They long ago purged that word from their vocabulary and instead have replaced it with nutrition. When you eat healthy and enjoy the foods you eat you can stick to that style of eating forever.
If the methods of eating that you used to get down to the weight and body fat level you are at were based on deprivation and food group elimination then you will likely not be able to sustain that forever meaning that at some point you are going to wind up putting the weight back on. This is not the right way to go about it. You have to make healthy eating a lifestyle and base it around acceptable foods that you love if you want to unlock the key to being ripped forever.
Next, you must drink a lot of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated will help you to stave off hunger and the confusion of thirst for hunger while at the same time helping you to maintain energy to perform at your best when you train.
Speaking of training, if given the choice between a cardio workout or weight training the guy that stays ripped forever will always choose the weight training session. This is because they know that the biggest key to leanness is putting on muscle. The more muscle you carry the more insulin sensitive your body becomes and the more positively you react to food with less likelihood of fat storage.
In addition, when you lift weights it is important to learn how to lift the weights you should rather than always pursuing the weights you can. This is particular true when your only focus is on strength. In these instances, carrying around a little excess body fat actually works to your advantage to create leverage on most compound lifts. When the obsession is with lifting heavier and heavier numbers then you forget to focus on the quality of the tension delivered to the working muscle and this can have a negative impact on the look of the muscle you are training not to mention set you up for an overreaching injury that will keep you out of the gym for a period of time.
Finally, above all else consistency is required. You must learn how to become consistent with your approach if you want lifetime leanness. It actually isn’t nearly as hard as some would make it out to be since your nutrition is much easier to stay consistent with when you like what you’re eating and your workouts are rewarding.

Weight training over cardio really got me. I am glad.
Dude Jeff could actually kill us by tricking us into doing a movement that severs your jugular
When you’re so ripped you only watched Jeff’s videos for gains
Jessie brought "you just got punked back!" 🤣🤣🤣
1.8K peeps who ignore the fact Jeff a legit education that isn't from the internet.
I have asthma and sleep apnea where my respiratorysystem "pauses" every 7 – 9 seconds per the respiratory therapist. I take omega3s and I tend to get on the treadmill 2 to (sometimes) 3 times week up to an hour to help my respiratory system. Is this a good thing? I do want to build strength and a certain amount of size. At 53 I'm not (never was) an elite athlete.
I took your test for the programs you offer. It's obvious to me a solid investment. It says training camp looks like James is going camping soon.
Dear Jeff, I haven't even started training because of the pandemic, but I never knew you didn't diet to gain muscle that's a mind blower, how did the other bodybuilders get through with dieting and you not one time, just a question? Your friend Daniel Ross Clark
When he said don’t eat after 6pm, I looked down at my taco along with the two others I already consumed like damn.
One of the best simultaneous intros/Rick rolls I’ve seen😂
He is so right! 👍
guys i promise, if you dance like rick for 24 hours I guarantee you'll have abs
2 years ago I only watched the first bit of this video because I was too rage and now I'm a frickin beast.. no I mean I am literally a horrible beast to look at.. I have big tits at least I guess…🏋️♀️
I feel bad for everyone who wrote all these down. Then backed out the video before the joke…..
https://youtu.be/NhhxDP-fYUE
yes
Regarding cardio, is bicycling and walking sufficient? I do those regardless because it charges up my energy.
Without mild cardio, I just don't feel like lifting at all.
ngl he got me by the first half xD
Great video, great advice.
Jeff is consistent in adding memes and jokes to the video…….
Finally… found a video with a sensible motivation, and what I need to know. I guess the question I want an answer to, is this… I'm 5'11…avg weight between 187-194 lbs. As far as lifting…what should I be striving for..as for becoming and maintaining a lean, defined appearance? BTW…I'm 53, not overweight…just some flab I want to disappear..and strengthen my core. Thanks
I was about to close this video after 1min on the bullshit info, thank god i went through the comments.
Lol this list is a joke
You forgot about the fact that drinking more water let's your body release water
He had me in the first half, not gonna lie
Just realized after watching hours of Jeff videos that he has an on-camera stance. This man is disciplined in all aspects of life. I need a video for proper toilet stances.
OMG 😳 I just weighed myself and I am up 5 lbs. 😭😭😭😭😭 Let's pray it's muscle mass. I'm back up to 159 n I was down to 154
It's probably all them buffet's and fast foods I've been munchie on. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Athlene x does extream stress effect your taining weight training or cardio?
This is the exact thing I fallow not the first 5 step bit rickroll but the parts after that are exactly what I do everyday weight train with high reps decent weight. So I can consider myself a body builder.
I just got rickrolled and got two ads during the rickrooll :'|
Dang, I was searching for a pen and paper. Rick Astley wins again. By the way the song "Never Gonna Give You Up" has 1,115,047,767 views.
I loved this! Thank you very much! I also loved your sarcasm, but (if I may) a word of caution: some people might mistake the first minute or so of your video with the true suggestions you are going to make. It nearly happened to me (I almost unsubscribed! 🙂 🙂 🙂 … but then I thought "no, it can't be!". Perhaps you ought to make your initial sarcasm more recognizable as such. Love from Thailand.
Did you do one for ripped girls?
