Ripped 3: The Recipes, The Routines and The Reasons

by Clarence Bass

Ripped 3, the last book in the famous Ripped series, continues the quest for the ultimate body. It contains 22 fully explained meal plans for eating to become lean the sensible, no-hunger way. Included are multiple training routines for achieving maximum muscle, adapted from a training model developed in the former Soviet Union called periodization. Research shows that this system, based on success, is the best way to train and gain year after year. Ripped 3 also explains how to achieve the fat loss benefits of aerobic exercise without stalling muscle building progress. All together in Ripped 3 you have the three-part formula for achieving and maintaining lifelong leanness and a superior proper food selection, aerobic exercise, and weight training.

Of the 3 Ripped books, Ripped 3 is by far the best. Detailed routines (weights and cardio) accompany good real world common sense advice in a similar vein to Stuart McRobert's work. Whilst Ripped and Ripped 2 felt slighly lacking in any real substance, Ripped 3 is a book I will probably return to for reference and also left me wanting to read Clarence's later books.
If you are thinking of ordering these books, note that I called up to order them and actually talked to Clarence himself for quite a while. That's a personal touch you don't often find.
