If you have seen Cam Gigandet as Ryan in Never Back Down you know how ripped and toned he is for his role in this movie. He has a true surfer body and a bodytype many guys strive for. This is the look many girls prefer as well. Most muscle building guys will say that he has no size or that he’s not “big enough”, yet could probably not finish the workouts that Cam Gigandet did for his role in Never Back Down.
It is a very intense, short and high rep workout in order to lose fat and lean up. He is also on a stric diet during this time to cut off body fat. He doesn’t have “huge abs”, but rather low body fat… A quite common mistake many guys make is work their abs until they are blue in the face… If you see from the side in the movie, his body barely has any FAT AT ALL on it… He is super shredded and has lost a lot of belly fat.
His workout is something like this:
The reps should be between 6-10. The weight should feel heavy enough to complete 6-10 reps, but no more. So if you pick a weight and do for example, 10, 9, 7 reps that is still within the range.

Relax and let the body recover.
Your diet is more important that the workout though. You need to keep calories low so that your body is taking fuel from the fat storage in your body as opposed to from food. When you want to BUILD MUSCLE you are eating a lot of calories and when you want to cut down and maintain muscle mass, but lose fat you need to eat less calories than you burn each day.
A good program that will show you how to build muscle first, then cut and maintain that muscle in a very good way is the Visual Impact Muscle Building Course. Try that and see if you won’t get ripped too. This is the perfect hollywood workout for anybody wanting to look like Cam Gigandet does in Never Back Down. If you would like to only build muscle stay in phase one for a longer period of time, then move on to the other phases when you feel ready to lean up and get ripped.
This program really lets you pick and choose how you want to look, which is perfect. You don’t need to ask questions about how to lean up or build muscle, It’s all in there for a very cheap price of less than 1 session with a person trainer.
