Staying ripped on a year-round basis is very hard to do. Yes, there will be exceptions. Genetic outliers who seem to stay lean no matter what. But very few are in that position.
Attempting to do so will usually come at a cost. It can mess with your head. But you do want there to be some kind of point to it all. Get some professional photographs done, enter a physique contest, or do something else that will add purpose to the mission. While most people can get cut or defined, not everyone will be able get shredded. To go from Hard to Cut will require willpower and hard work.
An even higher level of discipline and focus will be needed to go from Defined to Ripped, which is why so few people ever get there.

Jordan, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Check out our full list of jacked dudes to see who made the cut. He's visibly larger than a normal person. Shoulders, neck, and delts come into play, and his lower body is more than just an afterthought.
Top-tier superheroes like Captain America and Thor are definitely in this category, and muscle-bound strength and power-centric athletes like NFL running backs and elite CrossFitters. Why the word "jacked": His muscles are clearly larger than most guys, like they're propped up by something — kind of like a jacked-up truck. Favorite day in the gym: Balanced, muscle-building workouts. Diet: Protein, protein, and more protein.
Check out our list of real life giants to see who else is swole. Big all over. You might use the word "yoked" to describe the same physique, if that's your thing. Why the word "swole": His muscles are so large they make him look like he's swollen. Favorite day in the gym: Powerlifting day. Diet: Everything. To keep up all this mass, these guys are constantly eating — and their cheat days are the stuff of legends.
One of the most remarkable things about our bodies is their capacity for change. There are certain genetic factors that we can't always control — height chief among them — but aside from these exceptions, you can work to remake your body just about any way you want. That ability to mold ourselves can make these categories somewhat fluid. Regular guys can slowly shift from regular body shapes to cut, ripped, or even jacked with hard work; movie stars, with their higher incentives and endless resources, can jump back and forth between normal bodies and those worthy of wonder.
These chameleons can make it tough to describe exactly how fit they are from one moment to the next. We might say that Hugh Jackman is usually pretty ripped, with a big focus on arms and abs — but when he ramped up his Wolverine physique for his final turn in Logan , he was definitely trending toward jacked. More recently, we've seen Michael B. Jordan yo-yo up and down the scale. While we watched his body develop from a child actor in The Wire and Friday Night Lights to the first Creed movie, the more dramatic change came between his last two feature films.
In Black Panther , his Killmonger was a hulking, formidable presence — he was jacked. But to play a light heavyweight boxing champ in Creed II , Jordan had to pare down the bulk to fit into the weight class never mind that his opponent, Florian Munteanu, is undeniably heavyweight-sized. He's trending down towards ripped.
In the simplest terms, this dude is super defined with decent amounts of muscle. He might not be the biggest, nor the strongest, but he has consistent etchings across his body without fluff. Under his shirt are highly visible abs, although they might not be totally symmetrical.
Yet, see this guy walking down the street fully clothed and you might not even look twice. Ripped guys typically focus their attention on athletic endeavors. This could be solo sports like boxing, team sports like football, or even functional bodyweight training like Calisthenics. Sitting comfortably between ripped and swole is jacked. Being described as jacked means a dude is stacked with lean muscle mass. Visually, this is the sort of physique to expect from a stereotypical alpha-male.
Rugged, healthy, and intimidating. Huge Jacked-man has an above average build meaning you can instantly tell he does something physically challenging. Even when fully clothed he cuts an imposing figure, as his broad shoulders, large traps, and wide chest dominates his upper body.
Jacked dudes typically build this kind of physique through power-based sports or lifting. This might include the likes of CrossFit, Olympic lifting, functional fitness, fight sports, or certain football positions. Ever seen a man blot out the sun with nothing but his traps? The sort of man who enters the gym sideways. Taken from the word swollen, swole best describes the true larger-than-life character.
Just as his swollen tagline suggests, swole is all about size. His body is usually always dominated a thick, dense, and extremely broad torso — while his legs are wide as tree trunks. He might also tower well over six-foot in terms of height there are a few exceptions.
You simply adopted the gym life — he was born in it.
