For years it has been accepted that to get more defined you need to cut back on the amount of weight and do more repetitions.
Do you want to know the reality behind the “light weight and high reps” method of obtaining a ripped and defined physique?

Listen to me, you meathead. You cannot pick a spot, like your abs, to reduce fat, without reducing over your whole body. You can’t “spot reduce”. Let me say it again, so it sinks in real well. It is impossible to lose fat from just one specific area of your body. So when you think you are going to get more defined pecs by lifting lighter weight because you are going to reduce the fat there, you are fooling yourself and wasting your time.

Every single time you wrap your hands around a barbell, dumbbell or cable, your goal is to stimulate as much muscle growth as you possibly can. Stop wasting your time trying to do some special kind of lifting to make your muscles more ripped.

Alright, I hope you got the point. Now let’s talk about what WILL give you the muscle definition that turns heads and gets others craving your sexy body.You cannot spot reduce effectively, but you can cut your overall body fat level. And you can do that in basically 2 ways.

1) You Need to Change What You Eat.

The first thing to do is to take your weight in pounds and multiply by fifteen. That is the total amount of calories to eat per day. So if you weigh 150 pounds, eat around 2250 calories. Eating this way makes it less likely that you will store calories as fat. It is also very important to keep your water intake high at a level of around 0.6 ounces per pound of bodyweight.

2) Perform proper cardio workouts.

You cannot get away with just 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise to get the results you want. Instead, try intervals of shorter, high intensity exercise, separated by moderate activity in the recovery phase. Most stationary bikes, treadmills and elliptical trainers have this type of program. These types of workouts will shoot your resting metabolism through the roof and will allow you to burn maximum amounts of fat even when you are at rest. To keep your furnace on high, do 3 to 5 cardio workouts weekly, and keep them at least 8 hours away from your weight lifting sessions.

OK, let’s review. Here are the simple things you need to do to get everyone ogling your rock hard and ripped body. Keep building muscle by using enough weight to stimulate muscle growth. Time to finally correct this misguided advice so you can get the results you deserve. Do the right kind of cardio workout and change your diet. Believe me, you will have your share of furtive glances, and downright stares wherever you show off your ripped, sexy body.
