Have you ever tried packing on muscle mass and losing body fat at the same time? If so, then you probably didn’t see much progress for either one of those goals.
You spend months or even years attempting the impossible with absolutely nothing to show for it.
To really get shredded, you need to cut and you need to do it right — so, stay tuned as we go over exactly how you can do that (and for how long).

The title alone is 20% edgy, 30% motivational, and 50% “New Year, New Me” Pinterest board.
But this Dymatize-branded program is also among the most noob-friendly routines on BodyFit.
Bodybuilding.com hypes it up as a permanent life-changer if you “trust the process.”
With Transformed, that means barreling through 4–5 strength training sessions and 2–3 cardio bursts per week while also committing to a balanced diet and handful of supplements.
But is it really the key to more mass and torched fat?

If there’s one thing we know about Millennials and Gen Z, it’s that we don’t know when to let a trend just die. We gave life to invincible phrases like YOLO, squad goals, lit, bet, and ripped.
But with Buzzfeed leading the pack, we also single-handedly ruined the term “aesthetic.”
(It’s hard to say you want to build an “aesthetic physique” without others envisioning an edgy TikToker or ~Vibes~.)
An aesthetic physique will leave you looking like 2021’s version of a Greek god reboot: sub-10% body fat, a sharp V-taper, broad shoulders, a defined core, and generally masculine muscles.
But how long does sculpting an aesthetic build take?

Steve Cook’s Modern Physique Workout Plan won’t sculpt your stereotypical “modern” build. But that’s probably for the best — 42.5% of Americans are obese … and dad bods are trending.
Instead, this program is a time warp to 900 B.C. Greece, where gods like Zeus, Apollo, and Hercules were the epitome of “aesthetic.”
The so-called “Swoldier” claims his own training regimen inspired this eight-week intermediate program. So does the routine unlock the classic, defined, symmetrical Greek God physique?

A bodybuilding legend launches a routine, swears it inspired his record-setting IFBB run and promises a stage-ready aesthetic physique (if you don’t call it quits before 16 weeks are over).
Sounds tempting, eh?
Well, these programs are almost always letdowns.
Their “hacks” are dumping $300 into weekly groceries, training for 90 minutes a day, hitting the genetic lottery, and — of course — decades’ worth of vein-popping muscles owed to PEDs.
Mike Robertson’s Built By Science 6-Week Muscle-Building Trainer is almost the polar opposite. Short. Realistic. Science-based. Tons of potential.

Bodybuilding legend Mike O’Hearn missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to craft a killer portmanteau. When bromance and chillax exist, “power bodybuilding” is pretty lame.
(We know power bodybuilding is an actual thing. But when “Goblet of Gains” exists and not everyone recognizes Mike O’Hearn as Titan, the program’s title isn’t exactly click-worthy!)
Rant over.
Unimpressive name aside, Mike O’Hearn’s Power Bodybuilding Training Program is supposedly the perfect blend of bodybuilding and powerlifting for anyone chasing strength and size.
But does it work?
Let’s find out!

Sculpting a muscular chest calls for heavy chest days and several types of exercises. When you perform the decline bench press, you can better focus on the lower chest muscles and build more defined pecs.
If you want to switch up your chest day and replace the decline bench press, here are seven other exercises you can do!
Three-time Mr. Olympia runner-up and three-time Arnold Classic victor — Kai Greene — once offered up this bit of wisdom:
“Bodybuilding is an art; your body is the canvas, weights are your brush, and nutrition is your paint. We all have the ability to turn a self-portrait into a masterpiece.”
But there’s definitely a third piece Greene forgot to mention: sports supplements as the palette.
It takes a perfect blend of all three to build an all-natural, stage-ready physique like Simeon Panda or Jeff Seid. That might explain why the sports nutrition industry is flat-out booming.
Check out these 15 sports nutrition industry stats that’ll boggle your mind!

There’s an ancient proverb in the Swoly Bible that reads;
“Proteins are like LEGOS. Protein is the building block of muscle; LEGOS are the building blocks of building blocks. Ipso facto, you can never have enough of either.” – The Brofessor
That one’s Confucius-level deep and — perhaps unintentionally — dead-on accurate. (The protein part, not the LEGO bit; anybody with a soul knows you can’t have too many LEGOS.)
The protein supplement industry is absolutely booming and is only picking up steam with each passing year. These 20+ market trends might just inspire you to brew up a shake right now!

Twelve action-packed weeks stuffed with cardio and lifting, 84 workouts, absolutely no rest days, and a promise of an aesthetic lean physique three months down the line (well, if you survive).
