Strength training with more reps and a lighter weight for cuts and definition

 

Let’s be clear about this: Strength training does one thing – it makes your muscles stronger, more enduring, and defined.    

 

Increasing definition cannot be done effectively at lower levels of resistance.  You need to load your muscles past a threshold point of resistance; in other words, you need to up the intensity! 

 

Muscles do not get “more cut” or “more defined” with countless hours of cardio.

 

The amount of definition one exhibits also depends on the amount of overlying fat around the muscle, which is primarily a function of diet.
 

Many trainees, especially women, are worried that lifting heavy weights will make them look big and bulky, and that they should lift light weights until they feel a burn in their muscles. 

 

This is a myth. Women do not have anywhere near the amount of muscle building hormones (mainly testosterone) to build huge muscles.

 

The burn in your muscles is from the buildup of lactic acid and other metabolites, and is not indicative of the effectiveness of the exercise.
