EXERCISE: Pull-Ups and Squats - The Powerhouse Workout for a Ripped Body


fit40strong.com

Hey there, fitness enthusiast!

Ripped body goals? Let's get you there.

First things first, getting ripped takes time and effort. There's no magic pill or quick fix. 

But if you're willing to put in the work, pull-ups and squats are a great way to achieve your fitness goals.


So, how long will it take?

Well, that depends on a few factors, including your starting point, diet, and consistency. 

But as a general rule of thumb, you can expect to see noticeable results within 3-6 months of doing pull-ups and squats every day.

In fact, it was indeed noticeable on my gym friend (35+yo F.) after 6 months. 

And after a year, she was practically admiring her lean but muscular physique in front of the gym wall mirrors ever since. 🏋️

So here's the breakdown:

  • Pull-ups: Pull-ups are a compound exercise that works your biceps, triceps, lats, and core. They're one of the best exercises for building upper body strength and muscle mass.
  • Squats: Squats are another compound exercise that works your quads, hamstrings, glutes, and core. They're the king of all exercises for building lower body strength and muscle mass.

When combined, pull-ups and squats are a powerful duo for getting ripped. 

They target all the major muscle groups in your body, and they can help you burn calories and build muscle at the same time.

Here's a sample workout routine you can try:

Warm-up:

  • 5 minutes of light cardio
  • 10 reps each of bodyweight exercises like arm circles, leg swings, and torso twists

Workout:

  • 3 sets of 8-12 reps of pull-ups
  • 3 sets of 10-15 reps of squats

Cool-down:

  • 5 minutes of stretching

You can adjust the number of sets and reps based on your fitness level. 

And as you get stronger, you can increase the weight you're lifting.

But remember, getting ripped is a marathon, not a sprint. 

Be patient, consistent with your workouts, and eat a healthy diet.

And before you know it, you'll be rocking a ripped physique that'll turn heads.

Here are a few additional tips to help you on your journey to a ripped body:

  • Eat a healthy diet: Fuel your body with nutritious foods like lean protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats.
  • Get enough sleep: Sleep is essential for muscle growth and repair. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
  • Manage stress: Stress can release hormones that can break down muscle tissue. Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as exercise, yoga, or meditation.

So, there you have it. 

Everything you need to know about getting ripped with pull-ups and squats. Now go out there and get after it!

Faithfully Yours, Gary
