Hey, hey !

STRONG friend, I know what you mean when you say you want to tone up, but I want you to understand the full scope of what that really means. 

It's not light weights and high repetitions. That won't actually make you toned.

Dictionary Definition: Having firm and well-defined muscles.

Without building muscle, you can't have well-defined arms, shoulders, or back muscles!

Toning is building muscle. We can't tone a muscle. Muscle either shrinks or grows. We don't want it to shrink. Well, at least I don't, lol!

Another way to put it...Toning up is building muscle and losing body fat.

We have to build muscle using heavy/challenging weights, then lose fat with a calorie deficit. That's how you create the toned look!

So we must build it first and then cut body fat if your body fat is too high to see muscular definition.

Toned = Muscles + Lower Body fat. 
Skinny = Lower Body Fat, no muscles - no muscle tone!

What is needed for the desired look is structured, consistent programming that will get you that "toned" look that you want, aka muscle building. Which ultimately means building muscle!

The best way of doing that is under load (using resistance - the weights) & creating tension on our lovely muscles while progressively overloading them over time as you get STRONGER!

If you are getting STRONGER, then you are building muscle!

Put it this way...

If you are:

• Using more weight over time.
• Performing more repetitions over time.
• Your body composition has changed!
• Muscles are feeling firmer - they're looking swole!
• When you flex your arms, legs, back etc you can see the muscles
• The scale is changing - remeber muscle weighs too!
• Your clothes start to fit differently in a good way.

Then you are gaining muscle!

If you are doing more reps and/or weights on your squats, deadlifts, bench press, push-ups, etc.

Then you are gaining muscle!

Are you able to increase 5 -10 lbs on big lifts?! This is how you know that you are gaining muscle and strength.

If you're not making gainz, aka increasing in strength, then you're probably not building muscle.

If your overall strength performance is not increasing, then something has to change in your training.

You know I got you if you're not getting the desired results. Don't spend another year not making progress. So what are you waiting for?!
