Hi... just some questions to ask after reading this article in SgFitnessOnline... Below is a part of that article... "What is muscle definition? It is the result of low body fats so that your muscle can show through and become very visible. But if you have small muscles and high body fats, how are they going to show through? So you must cut your body fats by a [glow=red,2,300]caloric deficit diet[/glow], cardio and weight lifting exercises. Your weight lifting exercises must be intense enough to force your muscles to grow. How can a light weight done to high reps have the same intensity as a heavy weight done in low reps but forceful enough to overload your muscle thus stimulating muscle growth? Without the muscle growth, then how can your muscle show through your skin producing the well defined ripped look? Ahhhhh..., I think you are getting the point now." Can somebody share with me what is a caloric deficit diet? How or what do I do to achieve that?

Caloric expenditure->basal metabolism,dietary thermogenesis and physical activity.

Bulking is earting more than your body(organ,daily energy used,thermic effect of food and everything that keep you moving needs energy) .

Also do not be tricked into getting sarcoplasmic hypertrophy which is muscle swelling up due to the increased amount of fluid inside it. This kind of muscle is soft and weak. It is obtained by utilising high reps and low resistance.
Instead get myofibrillar hypertrophy which is muscle hypertrophy due to the increased amount of contractile proteins. This kind of muscle is hard and strong. It is obtained by utilising low reps and high resistance.
For more info read Pavel's Power to the People and Zatsiorsky's Science and Practice of Strength Training.
