Trying to get ripped by summer
    #15711163 -

I'm 28, 6'2, 208lbs, moderately active, trying to slim down to 190-195 and turn my beer gut into washboard abs, and muscle up a bit... got a little over 5 months to accomplish this...I know it's not a lot of time.

I stopped drinking and changed my diet to a more sensible one since Jan 3rd... I've been running a mile every day and going to the gym on the weekends where I do mediocre weight lifting (30lb free weights on each arm and 80lbs bench press).

I also do intervals on the treadmill, but I fear it's not going to be enough.

If anyone has any real tips or exercise regiments they can offer that has worked for them & will help speed this process up a bit, I would greatly appreciate it.

I'll be 30 in less than 2 years, and I really don't want to end my 20's looking like an old, out of shape loser.

Thanks!

:lol:

You slim down, work out, stop drinking/drugs, etc. every year.

Whether or not you have washboard abs, you are in great shape.
And are in better shape than 95% of people your age.

30 is just a number, man.

Anyhow, my only advice would be to not go overboard.
Things like supplements, creatine, etc...
They might help you put on muscle, but they are tough on your liver and your body in general.

Eat healthy and work out regularly. That's it.

Get a job digging ditches, and mixing/pouring concrete by hand. That shit is by far the best workout I've ever had.
Seriously, just dig a hole big enough for you to stand up in, you'll fuckin feel it through your entire body..

Sorry ifoundwaldo, 208lbs at 6'2" is NOT great shape, that's about 30-40lbs overweight..

I'm 6'4" and my max weight was 182lbs last year.

that's a bit extreme to say without knowing his build.  He might be 30 pounds overweight if he has chicken legs like a lot tall people do, but if he has leg muscles he mite really only need to go down to 195.

And to op, that's probably not intense enough to see extreme results.  I would know I've been working out like crazy and seeing little progress.

Diet is a massive part of working out. If you don't give your body what it needs to recover from the damage you are doing to it trying to build muscle, then you won't get anywhere.

The problem is exactly what OP is trying to do. Rush things.

People always want to see results RIGHT AWAY..

It will never, ever happen right away (well, unless you're on roids, but thats completely different)

Diet, exercise, and consistency. If you can do those 3, you'll be ripped no doubt, just not tomorrow, and not in a few months.

jump rope for 30 min a day and eat alot of food but it has to be good food not crap also dont eat right before you goto bed. getting slim is all about cardio so worry about weight lifting after you have slimmed down.

him getting ripped by summer is totally realistic, ive seen amazing results with people who have created/followed a program strictly while eating right. the insanity 60 day workout does actually work in 60 days if u follow it to the T.

Nah man, if you're really working out, you should see results in a month; you may not get you're amazing body in a month, but you should at least feel a little more alive.
You're not gonna see results in a month if you're just running a mile on the treadmill every friday though. Work up a sweat every day, then do your actual workout.
I'm serious guys, fucking shovel work. Not an hour of weights. A full day of sweat and pain, and when you get home all you want to do is chow down and pass the fuck out. Then do it again the next day. You will see results in a week.

I could see like p90x or the 60 day insanity work, if YOU WERE ONCE IN GREAT SHAPE, and then let yourself go for a few years.  It could definately get you where you used to be due to muscle memory, but if you've never worked out and are in bad shape, you gotta realize it took you longer than 60 days to get that way, it's gonna take more than 60 to fix it.

offtopic but I went to the boxing gym for an hour and a half today, and I think they have circus mirrors or something, either that or I had body dysmorphia.

I kept thinking I looked like a total fatass and it got me so down I left earlier than I wanted to, I get home and then look completely normal in my bathroom mirror.  Anybody else get this?
