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.

"I was always the fat twin.”
Today I’m speaking with Richard Golden — a longtime Ripped Body reader who’s undergone a dramatic transformation over the last decade.
Rich grew up with an identical twin brother who was lean, while he struggled with weight gain, body image issues, and cycles of yo-yo dieting. At his heaviest, he weighed over 230 lbs.
Now at 44 years old, he’s sitting at a lean and healthy 155 — and more importantly, he feels in control for the first time in his life.
We talk about how a painful breakup triggered a turning point, what he learned about sustainability after years of failure, and why he’s now chasing something new: not just maintenance, but mastery.
But can he push through the final plateau now that his health is not on the line — or will comfort hold him back?
Let’s get to it.
