As far as the RIPPED KIT, it keeps the fat off....DOESNT HELP YOU GET BIGGER!! Thats all on you! I'm LOVING the suppliments I'm taking just because I gained 8lbs in 2 weeks of SOLID MUSCLE!! I've pretty much cut out all soda and sugary snacks...once you stick to water/tea/coffee(yes coffee its actually good for you) and tea has antioxidants in it so thats great too...you'll feel better..

When taking workout suppliemts take it with apple juice or grape juice instead of water...the natural sugar will raise your insulin levels and all more of the stuff you just took in...it'll intensify EVERYTHING...BUT...take it normally the first time you work out, then take it with juice..see what happens

Alot of people say take in 1-1.5 grams of protien per pound you weigh...I dont do that at all cuz I don't wanna get much bigger..if your looking to rip, then nutrition and cardio is 80% of the battle..If you seriously do alot of pushups you'll bulk on your own(look at military guys)

As far as you worrying about abs...EVERYONE HAS ABS!!!! Its just a matter of removing fat to see them!!! But if you do ab workouts + cardio you'll have harder abs and it wont take as long as normal to get what you want...
only time i will drink soda is when i'm mixing a drink..and right now i'm still working on my bottle of bacardi 151 that i've had for over 4months that i use hawaiian punch with..but i dont do soda's man. i had one this year a strawberry cuz i know that will break my face out so i refrain unless i have a HUGE craving. but i'm good on water, tea(lipton green tea, etc) and coffee(all this time i thought coffee was bad for me) lol. i drink ALOT of grape/apple/cranberry juices i love em .

alot of what you are mentioning, either i have done, or have done and not done consistently...my main thing is consistency. i'm trying to join this gym locally..but i dont think itll happen this month like i planned cuz it also has the basketball court inside. i do pushups at least 3times a week, although i would love to do more. i need to get back on my ab routines..i picked up so many from FITtv its ridiculous and i could feel them coming through after like 2wks of doing them consistently, then something happened and threw me off course . but i'm going to try to get back on my routine and start working out regularly and doing some bike riding to help out my knee.

i agree with the abs thing..i feel mine everyday..just been this layer of fat thats been on it for over 2yrs that i'm SO ready to get rid of. i will put into practice and get that kit from GNC
