Muscle definition-what is it and how do you get it? Most people are a little unclear about the answer to this question. Yes, we all know what a well defined muscle looks like, but how do you achieve it?
Definition is what is often called "ripped". You know how you can see the outline of the muscle perfectly against the skin? That is the goal of every bodybuilder and of course everyone wouldn't mind having a bit more muscle definition themselves. Definition is what makes muscles appear larger. And in fact, you can have a bicep which is 12 inches around and it will actually look larger than a less defined bicep which is 15 inches!
What makes a person "ripped"? Definition consists of 2 things: body fat percentage and muscle size. To be defined you need to lose the body fat while building the muscle. This is what most people work out to achieve.
"Hey, that Caleb sure knows all about fitness. Maybe he can tell me what exercise I can do to build muscle definition." I can hear you thinking that, but I must say humbly, I can't do that! Why you ask? Because there is no such an exercise.
To get definition, or ripped if you will, you have to lose excess fat while building muscle. A lot of people get discouraged after working out for awhile when they don't see the definition they have been trying to achieve. Variety is the spice of life and a exercise program that ignores other aspects of fitness is not the best thing for overall general health.
To get an all around fitness workout, I recommend low impact, low intensity cardio exercise. This can be done by biking or hiking. Much has been said lately about the damage running can do to the knees so I don't recommend running. Especially for weightlifters.
For building muscle mass, my advice is low reps with heavier weights. This will build the muscle fast. Use enough weight so that you can't do more than your planned set of reps. This along with low impact cardio and a healthy diet will get you the look you want-ripped!
Until next time then; see you in the gym!
