Workout A Guidelines

  • Do workout A 1-to-2 days a week but never do it on back-to-back days & take at least 1 day off if doing it twice a week or…
  • You can do workout A TWICE a day (once in the morning & evening) 1-to-2 days a week but don't repeat the same workout on the same day so for example…
  • Take at least 1 week off from doing Workout A after you've done it 2-to-6 weeks in a row.
  • A superset is where you perform 2 sets of 2 different exercises back-to-back without stopping but go here if you still do not understand what supersets are &…
  • Try to increase the weight on each set while doing less reps & while also maintaining almost perfect form & make sure you keep a training log to help you get a ripped upper body faster - So for example…
  • Your Workout A may go like this…
    • SuperSet 1:
      Bench Press (90 lbs. for 12 reps) & Power Cleans (100 lbs. for 12 reps)
    • SuperSet 2:
      Bench Press (100 lbs. for 10 reps) & Power Cleans (120 lbs. for 10 reps)
    • SuperSet 3:
      Bench Press (110 lbs. for 8 reps) & Power Cleans (130 lbs. for 8 reps)
    • SuperSet 4:
      Bench Press (120 lbs. for 6 reps) & Power Cleans (140 lbs. for 6 reps)
    • SuperSet 5:
      Bench Press (130 lbs. for 4 reps) & Power Cleans (150 lbs. for 4 reps)
  • Workout A ONLY has compound exercises in it to help you get ripped faster but if you feel that you need to give certain body parts more attention then…
  • You can do 2-to-4 sets of 8-to-12 reps of as many isolation exercises you like such as bicep curls, chest flyes, triceps extensions & etc. ONLY after you've finished workout A.

Workout B (Getting a Ripped Lower body)

Do 4-to-6 sets of 4-to-12 reps of ONE of the lower body exercises below…

  • You can do Workout B TWICE a day (once in the morning & evening) 1-to-2 days a week but don't repeat the same workout on the same day so for example…
    • In the morning you can do Squats &…
    • In the evening you can do Lunges
  • Take at least 1 week off from doing Workout B after you've done it 2-to-6 weeks in a row.
  • Try to increase the weight on each set while doing less reps & while also maintaining almost perfect form & make sure you keep a training log to help you get a ripped lower body faster - So for example…

    • Set 1: Squat (200 lbs. for 12 reps)
    • Set 2: Squat (225 lbs. for 10 reps)

Workout C (Burning fat to get ripped)

Do one of fat burning workouts below for 20-to-40 minutes 3-to-4 days a week 1-to-2 times per day…

Click on photos to start doing a workout

Workout C Guidelines

  • Most of the workout videos last less than 20 minutes so you'll either have to repeat the same workout 2-to-4 times and/or do a combination of the workouts above so for example…
  • If you're planning on doing Workout A, B or D on the same day as Workout C… Make sure you do Workout A, B or D first before Workout C to maximize fat burning (See fast weight loss tip #)
  • If you feel you can do these workouts more than the recommended 3-to-4 days a week 1-to-2 times a day then you're not working out hard enough to burn fat fast so to make your workouts more intense…
    • Do your workouts longer (but no longer than 40 minutes) and/or…
    • Do your workouts faster or harder (ex. Run faster) and/or…
    • Make your workouts more intense (ex. Use heavier weights when doing the get ripped in 10 min workout or wear a weight vest while running) and/or…
    • Do a different fat loss workout (ex. Do intervals on a bike instead of treadmill) &…
  • On your rest days where you are not doing workouts A, B, C &/or D… You can optionally do a  lower-to-moderate intensity workout for 45-to-90 minutes like walking or riding a bike &…
  • If Workout C is too hard for you - You have 3 options…
    1. You can Do the fat loss workout here that helps you lose 50 pounds or…
    2. You can Do this weight loss workout plan here for beginners who've never exercised or haven't worked out in a long time or…
    3. You can simply do Workout C less than 3-to-4 days a week while increasing the amount of 45-to-90 minute lower-to-moderate intensity workouts you do.

Workout D (Getting Ripped Abs)

Do 5 sets of 8-to-20 reps of ONE of the Ab exercises below…

Click on photos to see how to do exercise

Workout D Guidelines

  • Workout D is optional meaning you DO NOT Have to do it at all because believe it or not…
  • You're already building up your abs by doing workouts A & B and…
  • Getting ripped abs is more about burning off belly fat with workout C so you can see your ripped abs.

Here's a sample 1 week schedule using workouts A-thru-D

  • Sunday: Rest (or do low intensity cardio for 60-to-90 min)
  • Monday: Do Workout A Followed by Workout C
  • Tuesday:  Rest (or do low intensity cardio for 60-to-90 min)
  • Wednesday: Do Workout B Followed by Workout C
  • Thursday:  Rest (or do low intensity cardio for 60-to-90 min)
  • Friday: Do Workout D Followed by Workout C
  • Saturday:  Workout C
See more sample schedules you can use but remember…
  • You can make YOUR OWN Schedule each week as long as you follow the guidelines for workouts A-thru-D

You'll be ripped in 56 days but…

Depending on how fat or overweight you are it could take you longer or a lot less than 56 days to get ripped on this program so…

  • If you're really overweight you may have to stay on this program for at least 90 days to get the results you want and…
  • If you're not satisfied with how fast you're getting ripped then Use these 8 tips to get ripped faster.

Hi Adrian...is it possible to do "workout C" everyday for faster results with maybe only the weekends off? instead of the 3x a week 2x a day option? please advise..thanks!!!! (sorry i forgot to put my email

January 30, 2012

Adrian Bryant

You may be able to get away with the 5 times per week option but here's the thing...

If you can do it everyday then that means either the workout is not intense enough OR you are not putting forth enough effort to get ripped fast

Hello Adrian, I'm 18 years old and my current weight is sadly a mind blowing 380 lbs.. i'm 6'2. I'm currently in the process of purchasing a weight bench and was wondering what you would recommend to me for dropping the most weight effectivly.

January 28, 2012

Adrian Bryant

you could do this plan here but to focus more on weight loss you should do this plan here

January 28, 2012

JimK

Awesome site, Adrian! Thank you for all the useful info.

I am planning to get started on this program. I was wondering, if i do the exercises 3x a week instead of the recommended 1-2x a week, will I see faster results? Or is doing this program 3x a week not advised at all due to lack of rest and recovery?

January 23, 2012

Adrian Bryant

Yes - only do it 1-2x a week and you'll see that the bigger and stronger you get you'll need to stick strictly to 1x a week for recovery

January 23, 2012

asdf

Hey adrian, is it ok to have the two rest days next to each other?

December 25, 2011

Adrian Bryant

yes it is as long as you get all in all your workouts like you are supposed to do

December 26, 2011

Scott

Hey Adrian I just started your workout plan and I want to ask a small favour, can you periodically check in on me to make sure that I'm sticking to the plan because I have a hard time committing to thing especially this I know this because I have tried before in the past. If you are willing to do this I can send you my email so you can send me periodic messages. Thanks!

Hi Adrian,

Thank you very much for such an elaborative workout sessions.

I'm 5.5" male, with around 182 pounds (lost around 19 pounds till now from the past 3 months).

Since, I do not have access to Gym, which outways workout A, B & D and so if I goanna follow just workout C, can you please help me with what schedule can i follow, i mean, what should be the schedule if i just need to follow workout C.

Thanks

December 19, 2011

Adrian Bryant

just do this for A & B if you do not have weights

December 19, 2011

Ron

Is there a reason you don't have any leg-specific days in this plan? I would think that for overall development and energy expenditure, you would include some squat variation and deadlift variation.

December 08, 2011

Adrian bryant

Please check back in about 2 days... We are in the process of updating this page to include more workouts for lower & upper body

December 09, 2011

Hey adrian, ive been following your 56 day rip plan for 4 months now and have got great results! latly since the last two weeks and every week ive tried to add either more weight or more reps and ive been doing the workouts and i will start with my compound workouts but by the time i get done with my sets my musels give out and i think i had a great workout cause i cant do any workouts for the next few hours. but by the next morning i can still do one to two sets. am i putting to much weight on? or not enough rest?

December 06, 2011

Adrian bryant

Are you doing the same WEIGHT Training workout on back-to-back days b/c you are not supposed to do that? and also...

Send me your before and after pics so I can post them here with the other success stories

@Adrian,
Thanks for doing what ur doin..Very Insightful
Question I weigh 226 lbs..25% body fat..just turned 30 yrs old and 5'11..not very bad..
I want to see a six pack..not very compulsory if i can look like u..
Now by my calculations..to have a 15% body fat..I have to weigh 200lbs..I dont care much about the weight..I would rather weigh more but very important that am losing body fat..
Which way to go?
Currently 25% body fat ..226lbs...56.5 of it is body fat weight and 169 is lean mass weight..for me to cut down to 15% body fat..I should be at approx 200lbs ..30 of it body fat weight and 170 lean mass weight..
I really want to cut down the body fat so I can least have a body like urs..the weight is nt a big factor or should it.
Plz advise

December 03, 2011

Adrian Bryant

for you...

you can either do this plan here to get to 15% but I believe you'll get there faster doing this fat loss ONLY plan here

Gabriel

Hi i am 17 years old 6'2 i weigh 200 pounds and i am doing this i can feel myself getting stronger and losing weight thank you Adrian. My body fat percentage is about 20% trying to get it down to 10%.

November 16, 2011

Marcus

Adrian,

First of all, thanks for all the information you've posted. This is one of the most comprehensive websites I've seen, and you seem to genuinely want to help people become healthier and look better, rather than exploit their insecurities about their bodies to make money like may other websites. Thanks for that.

My question is-- before I started working out, I weighed about 164 lb and my height was about 6 ft 1.5in, with a body fat percentage somewhere around 14-15%. I found your website and started using the plan on this page. After 7 weeks, I weigh around 165 lb (so more or less the same), but my body fat percentage is down to about 12%, and I've gotten stronger. I noticed though that you don't recommend this plan to people who aren't fat, and instead recommend the plan that gains muscle along with fat. Should I switch over to that plan? I'm not fat, but I do have a bit of a belly and I hate the idea of having to work hard to gain fat in order to gain muscle, and then work hard to lose all the fat after. Is there something wrong with me following this plan, which is losing fat and gaining muscle even though I wasn't fat to begin with?

Thanks

read this here because it will help you understand which program you should be using

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the great workout plan. Only problem is I have been putting on weight like crazy since I got the new job because of too much traveling. I was wondering what other back and tricep exercises are available without any dumbbells or gym equipment as I will be in hotels 80% of the year. Most of the time when I am up gym isn't open n closed when I get back. Certain areas there ia no gym in the hotel even. So I am going to do push ups different types on day 1 and day 2 and try a find a chin up bar in day 3. No problems for the abs. Intervals and jogs. Just the shoulders, back and biceps I am worried abt. Maybe just find a heavy bag n lift haha. Anyway great plan man I will do it n get back to u in 60 days.

November 05, 2011

Adrian Bryant

in this workout here you will find exercises without weights listed

November 05, 2011

demonmz

Hello, I wanted to say that this program is amazing and that after a week and half of it i'm starting to get good results! I have a question : what would be the best replacement for chin-ups and weighted chin-ups. Thanks

November 04, 2011

Adrian bryant

any of the other back exercises that I have listed would be okay

November 04, 2011

Venkat

Hello Adrian,

I am 27 years male, 6'1 height and 212 pounds, vegetarian. The problem is I have joined gym many times and could only continue for a max of 2.5 - 3 months. And this has made me have a very soft , cotton like fat body , fluffy with fat. I want to burn fat and lose fat around chest and stomach mainly and increase my stamina/metabolism.

I request you to please help me with some exercises that I can follow at home (without access to GYM) and natural way to lose fat and tone my body

Hi Adrian
Can you please make an interval workout video with rope jumping? Thank you very much.

October 23, 2011

Abhishek

Hi.. I am gonna start with your 1881 to 2532 calorie diet plan along with all the exercises.. and I checked all the meal plans and this one I found most appropriate. ( www.scribd.com ) But in this diet plan can I have a substitute for meat at dinner time, as my religion doesn't allow me to eat meat. So, I had soybean in mind, but I want to ask you first if you have anything to say about it and if soy is appropriate in what quantity should i take it. And I wanna thank you so much for what you are doing here.. great work.

October 22, 2011

Adrian Bryant

the soy is fine and it really does not matter as long as you are getting enough protein in your diet no matter where it comes from

October 23, 2011

Abhishek

thanx.. and if I decided to add more weight then do I also need to increase my protein intake ? and what is the best time to do these exercises in morning before or after breakfast ?

October 24, 2011

Abhishek

Increasing weight as in putting dumbbells in my backpack.

October 24, 2011

Adrian Bryant

Do you have access to regular weights?

You only need to increase protein intake as you gain muscle/weight

October 24, 2011

Abhishek

I dont have access to regular weights but I can buy em, no issues. Either ways I can put bricks or sandbags in my backpack as well.

Does that mean I have to follow same exact meal plan for 56 days OR If I decided to add more weight in my backpack my backpack between those 56 days then I need to increase my protein intake aswell ?

October 26, 2011

Adrian bryant

for this plan for the 56 days you're going to eat the same amount the whole time since you are trying to burn fat also

October 26, 2011

Abhishek

Thanx for your help man... appreciate it

October 28, 2011

jessica

hello Adrian
Can you do interval workout with rope jumping? If so, can you please suggest some? thanks a lot.

October 21, 2011

Adrian Bryant

yes

you can do jumping jacks or any other type of exercises and turn them into intervals

October 22, 2011

Graham

Adrian,
I noticed that there are no lower body excercises (squats, lunges, straight leg dead lifts, leg extensions, leg curls, calf raises etc.) in the 56 day plan, only uppper body and ab exercises. Should there be lower body exercises? How do you incorporate these into the program? On what day and how many times per week?

Graham
