Guide to Achieving Maximum Muscle Definition

With this 4-point guideline we set out how you can achieve maximum muscle definition.

What is Muscle Definition?

The first thing we’re going to look at in this guide is the term definition.

Definition is often used to describe how low a body’s fat percentage is.

A low fat percentage creates the visible appearance of a working physique and allows you to appreciate the differences between muscles.

Are you sure you want to define your muscles?

When I talk about muscle definition, most people with an initial interest drop out completely.

Step 1: Overcoming the Weight Obstacle

Many people say they want to get definition but to stay at the same weight.

This is impossible, it means they don’t understand what it means to achieve definition.

It also means they’re more concerned with size than definition, especially because they overestimate how much muscle weight they can naturally add to their body.

Let’s try to get a better understanding of the issue:

Step 2: Creating a Nutrition Plan

Losing fat without losing muscle is primarily a nutritional challenge.

While an energy balance doesn’t completely align with the fat loss process, due to hormonal factors, generally it works well.

You need to find out how to work with this nutritional balance.

Can you get defined without controlling your calories? Probably. But every serious competitor needs to know exactly what they’re putting on their plate, including:

How do we spread the macros?

Some advocate a 40-40-20% breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

Others recommend 30-20-50%, and others 30-50-20%.

Feel free to create as many workheets as you like – once you get defined you won’t need them any more.

Step 3: Planning your Strength Training routine

While all the fitness programs are going to tell you that their system is the best, I can tell you for sure that they’re all overrated.

Here’s the truth:

Do you know what all those workouts have in common?

They’re all based on strength training.

Strength training is the key (in addition to combining it with a broad protein intake) to help you maintain your muscle while you define.

Step 4: How much Cardio should I do?

Many people wonder whether cardio is necessary when working on muscle definition. 

To answer this, we need to understand that cardio will increase daily calorie expenditure. In other words, we’ll generate a greater deficit. So, is this good or bad? Well, it depends.

Some people adjust their calorie intake in such a way that they’re not “forced” to do cardio, and they define phenomenally.

Others do so if they add it into their routine.

But a large percentage of them end up “suffering” the consequences, in the sense of feeling quite tired.

As we saw earlier, strength training should be the cornerstone of our muscle definition.
