Training For Definition/Cuts/Striations. The Real Truth?
Okay, this will probably sound dumb, heck it sounds dumb to me and I'm the one asking it, but I need a little help getting cut....
It seems like alot, especially lately, people have made some weird comments. Kids at my school will say it's weird how my muscles are full and hard, but not cut. Like it's like i have a fair bf% but you can't see as much definition as I should have. Like they tell me the muscles there, it's real hard, and I have the strength to back up the size, but I should be more defined.
I've been cutting body fat, and doing a little lighter weight and more reps with perfect form, but I've lifted for bulking for so long. Do you guys think I just need to continue the cliche toning routine (higher reps, lower weight) and maybe I'll get some of the smaller fibers to come out or what?
Maybe I just need to keep cutting and get my bf% in the single digits....
And also, I've read before that some pro's will continue to train hard even right up to a contest. Like Ronnie Coleman, albeit he has super genetics and super AS supply, made a remark one time in an interview saying something along the lines as, "lighter weights and higher reps are just for the p***ies that want to take a break from hard lifting, the idea is to get the muscle as BIG as possible, and the fat as LOW as possible".
