He would like to have some muscle definition I think. He asked me what I wanted and and I said some definition would be good. But if he doesn't want to bulk it up fine. He thinks doing free weights will do that to him and not anything else. Please let us know if this is true or not...I told him NO, not if he doesn't lift like crazy and press it too hard. He does mainly machines and stuff. He has just recently had knee surgery so can't do too much on lower body. Any help on this would be great thanks!!

There is nothing wrong with doing free-weights and eating properly. We won't bust out in muscle unless we are geneticly prone. I have been doing free-weights, machines, etc for around 3 years and I still don't look like Mr. Universe. Defined? yes. But not overly muscular. Weight loss and toning program from Ft works great. Tell him to give it a try and enter the knee problem so it will take that into the program.
