How many pushups a day should I do to get ripped?
It is important to keep increasing the number to challenge your body.

What is the biggest secret for bodybuilders?
It’s constant cycles of bulking and shredding over and over again to gain as much muscle as possible and then lose as much body fat as possible while avoiding muscle wasting. Hands down, this is the biggest secret for bodybuilders.
Why do bodybuilders burn so much fat?
Bodybuilders are able to shred through body fat and stay there most of the year because of the muscle they have already built. The more muscle you have, the more fat you burn. Every pound of muscle burns roughly 50 calories, so if you had 20 pounds of muscle, then your body burns 1000 calories a day on its own.
What happens to your muscles when you start doing lighter reps?
What this means is that if you start lighter and do more reps, you will force more blood into the muscle cells. Doing this stretches the muscle fascia and also allows more nutrients into the muscle cell, allowing muscle repair (and ultimately growth) to occur.
How do you shred without losing muscle?
To shred, you have to cut your carbs and reduce your overall calorie intake. The goal is to deplete your muscles of as much glycogen as possible so your body will resort to burning it’s own energy source, which is body fat. You won’t gain nearly as much muscle, if any at all, while you are in a carb-depleted state.
