How can I still reap the benefits of resistance training without getting too big?
Essentially, there are three fitness goals that people shoot for when engaging in resistance training – an increase in muscle size, power, and definition. Your goal seems to be an increase in definition. All three adhere to the same basic training principles. Sets and reps are where these three goals differ. To increase muscle definition, you should stick to a rule of higher reps with lower weight. Reps in the 16-20 range are good for leaning out and staying muscular. To increase muscle size, the general rule is to perform exercises in the 6-12 rep range, using moderately heavy weight. To increase muscle power, which sometimes, but not always, is accompanied by an increase in muscle size, stick to the 2-5 rep range, with heavy weight. Remember, proper form is always more important than weight lifted, so no form should be sacrificed in order to lift heavier weight.
