Thread: Running for definition

The only way to more definition is to lose body fat. You will lose some lean mass on the way, but it’s far from some of the horror stories out there. Especially if you’re training during the cut, the damage will be limited. And, as you’re losing body fat, you’ll actually look bigger. You should educate yourself on the topic. One thing you can and should do is reading the stickies in Diet and Nutrition forum. You should also read up on training and make sure you’re not overdoing it. My opinion is that you should not worry about strength or size until you hit 10 or 12% body fat.

You shouldn't need to do cardio every day to reach a low body fat level. Lifting 3-4 times a week with cardio another 2-3 times per week should be sufficient. 1-2 of those sessions can be some type of higher intensity cardiovascular activity as well.

As long as you utilize good nutrient timing (Proper pre and post-workout nutrition), you aren't a state of complete starvation, you are eating frequently, and you continue to lift heavy shit, I seriously doubt you are going to lose any significant amount of muscle mass.

Just a dumb off-topic question: Why did the apostrophes in my previous post come out as question marks?
