It's possible. I've a genetic tendency to go fat, and since I hate it, I exercise A LOT. Still, only once in my life I got cut and ripped and it took a lot of sacrifice, but it can be done. Now I'm trying to do that for the second time, so here's what I'm doing (it may help you or it may not)
First, I had some overweight, so I started a diet. No gym, because I'm a weight lover and that makes me hungry, so I eat. Hence, diet and no gym to start. It took me 2 months (I lost around 16 pounds, including some muscle). I only did some push-ups, walking and stuff like that.
Second: on to the gym. 15 mins of bike, all muscle groups with lots of repetitions and little weight. The only muscle group I pay special attention is... ABS. After that, 15 mins of fast walking with a huge inclination (I'm a smoker so it costs me a lot to run) and that's it. btw, at the same time started taking a fat burner. Right after the gym, PROTEINS (tuna, chicken breast, egg) . This cycle went for 1 month
Now some fun, more weight, working 2 muscle groups per day (I work out 2 days-1 rest-3 days-1 rest). Of course cardio remains and I start doing some serious abs exercises (up to 500 repetitions a day, EVERYDAY). By the end of the 1st month of this cycle, I gained some weight but guess it was all muscle since I looked way slimmer. My abs aren't cut but they are hard as a rock. I'm finishing the 3rd month of this cycle, on the second month started taking whey protein supplements (and left the fat burner) and this month I'm taking creatine (and left whey protein). Right now I look way bigger than Hal but not even close to that muscle definition, lol. Aw, almost forgot: drink LOTS of mineral water and no alcohol (sorry)
Another thing: I'm not looking for a extremely lean and cut body ala Hal so I take creatine, but if you're looking for that, I wouldn't recommend creatine since you'll grow big and it demands you to eat
So, I don't know if I'll get extremely ripped as before, but what I did the first time was 2 months of weight lifting /1 month of extreme repetition for almost a year. And as I said, I'm a smoker, I've a genetical tendency to grow fat, and I'm not very young so yes, it's possible. Or at least, it's possible to get into a nice physical shape, which is great anyways.
