Build Muscle Definition: The Only Two Things You Need To Know
What 99.99% of new bodybuilders don’t know is…
Building muscle definition is nothing but two things:
- Building the biggest, most deeply cut muscles you can.
- Losing sufficient body fat to show off the deeply cut muscles.
Contrary to popular belief there is nothing else to it. As the muscles grow and mature, like an old face, they become more distinguished and take on more character, and become more interesting. But, growth is the key.
There really is no special exercises to ‘tone’ or ‘build definition’ as such. Definition in the muscles, as I’ve said, comes from mature (not necessarily old, but advanced) development. When muscles next to one another form deep cuts, grooves, and contours.
But, most people never get to see their muscles in such detail, because keeping such persistently low body fat is very difficult.
Competitive bodybuilders take steroids and other drugs to achieve and maintain such low body fat for competition, and it’s not something that is healthy nor sustainable for long periods of time. In the weeks following a competition, a bodybuilder will lose much of his detail and again as his body fat goes back up, and his body suddeny looks much less defined. (The human body was never meant to look permanently defined in the way a bodybuilder on stage does.)
The best we can hope for is to naturally keep our body fat as low as we can, showing off as much muscle detail as we can, simply by eating enough to maintain or grow muscle, but not enough to make us fat. Diet is the key here.
