As to the first question, I'm not sure what you mean by "ripped" and you musn't overdo things (the single most common mistake: overtraining), but in general intensity is more important than quantity for muscle and strength training. So, sort of Yes, you do have to push the muscles quite hard.
The way many weight lifters deal with this balancing issue (how to work muscles very intensively, but not overtrain) is by working only one or two muscle groups each session, limiting each session to 45 or 60 minutes at most, and giving each body part days of rest between workouts. So, they might work legs and back on monday, chest and triceps on wednesday, biceps and shoulders on friday, and so on, or any similar split.
You can plug bodybuilding into a search site and get more info, but I'm afraid you'll have to wade through a great deal of pitches for largely worthless supplements.
and, no, you can't expect jogging to add much to strength of any muscles. It will help your fitness (except your knees!), but can add only very modestly to muscle strength.
hope this helps.
ripped?
