To look cut, -with great muscle definition, many people have the misconception that you need to hit the gym. That's the general belief: lift less -weight and do more reps for definition. For bulk, lift heavier -weight and do fe-wer reps.

The idea that less -weight tones muscles is -wrong. Less -weight and more reps builds endurance. For explosive po-wer, do fe-wer reps -with heavier -weight. Just remember that to really increase strength the general consensus is that you have to -work -with at least 60% of your maximum lift (the heaviest -weight at -which you can complete a singe repetition). Definition is not an issue -when deciding ho-w many reps to do and ho-w much -weight to lift.

In reality, there is no such thing as lifting for definition. Muscular definition is one thing: muscle mass minus body fat. You cannot lift to make your muscles more defined. To look ripped, you have to shed some fat.

It starts -with your diet. You have to eat right. There is many -ways to eat right. one thing that -works -well for almost everyone is to cut out milk and milk byproducts (creamers for coffee) from the diet. Also, do not eat any complex carbohydrates after lunch. A perfect dinner might be salad and tuna fish.

In addition to lifting -weights, do cardio often. Many people is afraid that they -will lose muscle by doing cardio. In reality, doing cardio (in addition to eating -well) is the only -way to get cut because you have to lose that body fat. The more cut you is, the more jacked you look.

In conclusion, lift -weights, eat -well, do cardio, and look ripped.
