Okay, this is basically what I look like. I feel kinda stocky, chunky but I want a lean muscular physique.
The reason I'm making this thread because I've been hearing lots of conflicting opinions regarding weight lifting. Do I lift heavy with low reps or low weight with high reps. Also any advice will be appreciated.

Edit: I know this has been discussed on the forum before but like I said I feel confused about this sh1t and want to make sure I'm doing it right.

you already have a great frame, i think you should focus on definition instead of size/strenght (meaning more reps)

first thing you need to ask yourself

1) do you want more muscle mass?
2) do you want to cut fat

realize you cant have both and pick the one that means more to you.

Its much much easier to do one, then spin your wheels hoping for both

Not necessarily true, esp if you are doughy as is

Just need to get your shyt together from the jump diet + routine-wise

It does, just very slowly, and not through the typical bulk/cut cycles

i disagree

ive seen many people at this point.

you might change "visually" but you dont burn fat and put on muscle after newbie gains

i trust the laws of thermodynamics breh

my body almost the same except with broader shoulders. I already made my choice for more definition then I ll accentuate on broad shoulders and big pecs

reverse pyramid training with 2-3 minutes rest in between...heavy weight first for 5 reps lower weight by 10% and rest 3 minutes then aim for 6-8 lower weight again after resting for 2-3 minutes go for 10-12

first rep is near max...now the exercises of course depend on the body you want to sculpt and how your body is shaped and where it needs work for that symmetrical look

lift 3 days a week with a 2 day split of workout a and a workout b with different body parts...and lift monday wednesday and friday swapping workout a and b

the other 3 days do cardio and ab supersets and take sunday to rest...for cardio for 15 minutes on treadmill H.I.I.T sprint at 7-10 speed for one minute then walk for a minute and interchange that pattern for 15 minutes...you can do the bike or a slight walk for another 15 minutes for steady state if you want.
