I want to start going to the gym but I don’t know what to target. I wanna look defined but not bulky? I guess. (NOTHING WRONG WITH IT OBVIOUSLY) but umm I’m not sure what to do. I already have a nice figure. I’m 5’4 178. Any advice? 🤗🤗

lift heavy! you’re not going to get bulky without years of effort and genuinely trying to get big. you need to lift heavy to build muscle which will give you the defined look

pushing yourself until failure on your main lifts is what will get you progress the quickest! try to find a weight where you can do 5-7 reps until you physically can’t finish the last rep!!

Okay so I rarely ever lift heavy. Should I start with light weights and just do a lot of sets until I can increase the weight of them?

no, you should start with heavy (for you) weights. aim for 3-4 sets of 6-8 reps. once you can hit that rep range increase the weight, repeat
