Can anybody give me some tips on how to get ripped with a simple weight lifting scheldule or something like that?
 
This one ought to be a good way to get you started. One of my old ones, but still very effective:


Men's and Women's Pyramid Program
You may already know what a "pyramid" program means. If you do, simply skip ahead to the program. If not, then keep reading.

Pyramid programs have been used by power lifters for years to drag as much strength-building potential out of an exercise. An example of a typical pyramid on a chest workout would be the benchpress:

SET #1 135 lbs x 15 REPS
SET #2 225 lbs x 10 REPS
SET #3 255 lbs x 6 REPS
SET #4 300 lbs x 2-4 REPS

As you can see, the idea is to increase the weight on each successive set while dropping the number of reps accordingly.
