You don't "build" defination......if you wanna be cut.....then drop the fat. Do some cardio, keep up the weights, drop the calories. **NOTE*** you must be happy at your muscler size and or strength to "cut" you won't get much strength or any size gains.....while cutting" -------------- Friends don\'t let friends squat high... People don\'t reach thier true potental, only those who seek it.

Well aside from this being the wrong forum, We need to know what you HAVE been doing. I need a little more then "working out" to give suggestions. Working out has many meanings for me- grappling, rockclimbing, weightlifting, powerlifting, tabata, running, HIIT, kettlebells, strong man (god i love my sled), etc. -------------- Your two most important minerals: Iron and Chalk. If you smoke or don’t wear your seatbelt, please don’t tell me the deadlift is dangerous.

I could probably do with adding a little size before I focus on cutting. When I say I've been working out every other day - im talking 6k run to start, then basic weights. I'll re-read the forums, but while im here, do you know where i can get some good diet info if im looking to add the weight? Your helps great - thanks guys.

Do your running and the weightlifting either on seperate days or seperate times. Also, what kind of weight program are you on? -------------- Your two most important minerals: Iron and Chalk.
