    More reps = definition?

    Can somebody explain whether or not this statement is true? Does doing less weight and more reps really work during a "cut" phase and give more definition then doing power workouts with fewer reps and more weights? I have noticed more of a "burn" in the muscles when doing less weight/more reps.

    Any comments?

    The only thing that cuts you up is burning more calories than you eat.
    I highly recommend all IronMagLabs supplements!

    More reps means you are burning more calories but not building muscle. Stick to the 6-10 range or whatever you are using now.

    Yeah that's what I figured. I started p/rr/s so my reps are changing from week to week. But generally I never do ridiculous amounts like 20. Unless it's for my abs of course...
