    Great review on how to really workout and get that muscular defined look. I’ve experimented with lots of different routines and the one you describe seems to work the best.

    Visual Impact paired with Eat Stop Eat is an awesome but better than that effective fitness strategy.

        Just wondering for the muscle definition workout routine. How much time should you take between each sets? A minute? Thanks.

    Nice post,

    I’ve used the methods in Visual Impact too, to good effect. I really like the idea that we don’t just have to follow a muscle freak’s routine, but that we can learn how to change variables to get what we really want from our workouts. To me this is what training is really all about.

    Nice post, and the site looks great too.

      Thanks Michael! It is nice to know just how to create the look you’re after. I remember ALWAYS doing 3 sets of 10 reps … I’m glad I’m past that stage.

    Great article on achieving muscular definition!

    You are right on the money. Definition is a matter of a low body fat. However once your body fat is low its important to increase muscular strength without increasing size. This keeps the muscle partially contracted in a relaxed state. Rusty Moore definitely knows his stuff as Visual Impact is my favorite workout routine.

      Very true … that’s why I like the lower rep range. Training with low weights and concentrating on strength training sure has made a difference for me. Thanks for the comment!

        Hello Kevin. I found out about your site yesterday and I really like it. Lots of authentic informations. I’m confused about 1 thing. I have 3 exercises for my biceps workout. Should I make 8-10 sets for each exercise or 8-10 sets total for each of the 3 variations? Thanks!

    What do you use for your Chest workout? Just dumbells? 3 exercises for each body part. 3 sets per exercise. doing the 5 reps style. for ex. chest and back 3 sets of dumbell incline press, flat incline press then decline incline press. And just like that for the Back exercises. Then after that I’ll go on a HIIT? then steady state cardio? Are these the right program?

    I’ve been reading up on working dense muscles, and can’t wait to really get into it, but I was just wondering where do you fit in muscle mass exercises? I want my muscles to be dense, but want it to look as strong as they are. I really like Ryan Gosling’s arms and chest, do you know if that is more dense muscle or more muscle mass?

    The muscle definition workout looks great… looks like what I’ve been looking for. Just one question though… where do you fit in a solid leg workout?

    I follow the rep/set rule and it works. However, I only do multi-joint exc. Any comments on that Kevin?

    For building dense muscle/strength and definition, is it better to do 3 sets of 5 reps or 8-10 sets of 3-5 reps?

    Great post! I’m just wondering how a person should eat during this strength training?! I know that while trying to build muscle that you should go for a clean surplus of calories. So how many calories should you shot for while trying to build this dense strong muscle? Should you go with a calories deficit, maintenance, or surplus?
    Thanks

    Kevin you mention 2 rep short of failure. I want to ask as I move to second and third set I have to give quite a “pump” to complete 5reps with same weights. Do I need to cut of the weights or decrease the reps.? Secondly three exercise for each muscle group?
