In fact, a little bit slim is better than overly muscular and blocky.
Lean1Think about that for one second. Wouldn’t you rather look more like Jude Law versus a bloated looking professional wrestler in the WWE?
You see, even if you are a little on the slim side you can still look “cool” and hip. You can wear designer clothes. You can look “GQ”, etc.
…but if you put on too much muscle on the wrong places you get that “cheesy” meat-head aura…and that is not a place where you want to be.
Most women are repulsed by guys who are “overdone” !
…But these same women love the right amount of muscle.
Some examples of this are Taylor Lautner, Cam Gigandet, Brad Pitt, Will Smith, Dwayne Johnson (now he has slimmed down), Hugh Jackman, etc…
I realize that attracting women isn’t the only reason to put on muscle, but it is most likely at least part of the motivation to attaining a nice looking phisique.
…But Where You Gain the Muscle is Just the Beginning.
There are two types of muscle growth that affect the look of a muscle.
1 Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy: This is growth caused by the increase in fluid (sarcoplasm) within a muscle cell. This is a fast way to increase the size of a muscle, but since sarcoplasm is a fluid and can’t contract…it won’t make the muscle significantly stronger.
2 Myofibrillar Hypertrophy: This is actual muscle fiber growth. This adds a lot less to the size of a muscle than sarcoplasmic growth, but since muscle fiber can contract…it will make the muscles significantly stronger.
Have you ever seen a muscular guy with large, but almost “puffy” looking muscles? This is a common problem I see in almost every gym I visit. Here’s a video explaining how to avoid this…
Now…many trainers will tell you that muscle definition is simply a matter of gaining muscle and then losing body fat to reveal that muscle. They have the right idea, but this is just part of the puzzle.
Density<—Someone who focuses on the proper ratio creates full, dense looking muscles.
Too much sarcoplasmic focused training? This creates that large “fluffy” look. The muscles look doughy and rounded -not- sharp and angular.
Too much focus on myofibrillar training? This creates smaller dense muscles. Although the muscles are hard and angular, they tend to be undersized.
Both types of muscle growth have their place if you want to create a sharp looking lean and muscular look.
…if you simply lift to put on muscle, then you are just hoping that your physique winds up looking the way you want (I don’t like to leave things up to chance).
Instead of hoping the hard work will pay off, you should do everything in your power to give yourself the best shot at the ideal outcome.
So How do the Guys in Hollywood
(Taylor Lautner, Cam Gigandet, Brad Pitt, etc) Get that Ultra-Lean Look…Where it Appears as if Their Skin is Shrink Wrapped Around Their Muscles?
The majority of trainers will tell you that it is just a matter of reaching a low body fat percentage. They are only partially right…
So if you have gone into summer and the muscle wasn’t as sharp looking as anticipated, you can bet that loose skin was part of the issue.
Often times guys will look defined in the gym because of a temporary pump which tightens up their skin.
The problem with this approach is that once that pump goes down, their skin is a little loose…
…and they don’t display that same amount of muscle definition outside of the gym.
If you look much better in the gym than you do at the beach, or if you only have nice six pack abs with strong over-head lighting…then I guarantee it is most likely a result of loose skin.
This loose skin makes the difference between “sort of” toned and absolutely shredded.

Well the tips in the 3 videos above are just scratching the surface.
Before I go any further, I should probably introduce myself…
Rusty Moore My name is Rusty Moore and over the past 3 years I have run one of the busiest websites on the Internet focusing on the lean “Hollywood Look”.
While I respect and constantly learn from dozens of fitness trainers and fitness authors…
Tens of thousands of people have tested my methods with phenomenal results (when it comes to getting lean). It has been very rewarding reading all the positive testimonials from both men and women. …but I mainly just focused on losing body fat and increasing muscle density without increasing muscle size.
(I knew someday I would need to talk about gaining muscle in a way that didn’t ruin the physique…but I also knew that this would take 50+ pages to properly explain).
