The Ripped Body Podcast
For over a decade, we’ve helped thousands of busy guys achieve life-changing transformations — without letting the process dominate their lives.
We do not “hack” their biology. The answer is never in a supplement bottle or morning routine.
Just real food. Hard, but efficient workouts.
The Ripped Body Method is an evidence-based, data-driven system of physique transformation built to deliver.
In this series, we are helping our readers and listeners pinpoint the key gaps in their training and nutrition, and cut the rest.
No more second-guessing. No wasted effort. Just clarity and results that compound over time.
We’d be honored to show you how.

"Weekdays I’m perfect. Weekends, I spiral.”
Michael opens up about his lifelong struggle with weight, starting in his early 20s when he hit 200 pounds, without any muscle. After the birth of his first son, he realized he needed to change — not just for himself, but to keep up as a dad. That was his first serious cut, and it sparked a 10+ year journey of self-education, strength training, and cycles of cutting and bulking.
He’s now stronger than ever but stuck in a long-standing all-or-nothing mindset, especially with weekend eating. During the week, he’s disciplined and in control. But when Friday hits, family time, baked treats, and decompression turn into overeating — not just for enjoyment, but out of habit.
Michael wants to set a better example for his four kids, especially his son, who’s now lifting and developing his own self-control. He’s wrestling with how to stay consistent, how to eat in a way that balances discipline with family joy, and how to shift from "perfect or nothing" to something sustainable.
He’s not just chasing fat loss — he’s trying to break a generational pattern before it repeats.
