Question
whats a great workout program to get ripped

Answer
Hi armando,

Many boxers are physically well defined, but the diet and training techniques for the specialty physique training of getting "ripped" is really not the purview of boxing, but rather a bodybuilding question. Many boxers are physically well defined, but the diet and training techniques for that particular function are best left to bodybuilders to discuss. Generally getting well defined, muscle definition has to do with reducing the percentage of body fat covering muscles, as well as pumping them to maximum size during workouts. Here are a few links that may help you.

By the way: Beware false prophets bearing drugs and supplements as the answer or "secret" to getting ripped, shredded or highly defined through buying their products. I suggest you stick with legitimate weight or fitness training advice that doesn't include spending a fortune on "high tech supplements" that are highly unproven and perhaps dangerous. Lower your carb and calorie intake, and a mix of overall body exercises.

Hope this helps you, and please train wisely.

sincerely,
