How can i get a more defined body?

Question

im 16, 5'7 140 lbs. I work out using light weights, i drink alot of water, but I also eat quite a bit of big foots ( spaghetti, soup, and fish in like 1 day, is that bad?) I dont know if thats bad to eat all in 1 day, sometimes I eat 3 bagels in one day with cream cheese. Is this bad? I mean it feels like im eating less but my body hasnt really changed from working out. Can anyone give me a list of what foods, how many cups of water, vegetables...fruits, vitamin water works?, I use 20 lbs dumbells what reps/sets should I do for a definition? I am really willing to sacrifice alot. Can anyone start me out, what I should do to burn body fat, become more defined, and become a stronger human in general (Physical wise) but note im only 16 so my body is not done growing and I dont want to mess it up. help plz?

hhaha.. I meant FOODS* NOT foots before anyone makes a crack on that -.-

Answer 1

You are 16 so this is only general information. But, to get more "cut" you're doing the right thing: high repetitions with light weights. When you want to add mass, the opposite formula applies: Heavy weights with relatively low reps. You may not be seeing the "cut" you're looking for because it's also highly dependent on your diet and pasta, bagels, and things of that nature (sadly) blow that right out the window. DOn't lift for cut on a daily basis, but maybe two days a week. Try to do three sets of 25 reps...if that's too easy, increase the weight a bit. (You should be able to feel challenged, but still finish the exercises. It should "burn". Also, once you get accustomed to this routine [and before you increase the weight], you should do each exercise super slowly and squeeze the muscle at the top of the contraction for peak muscle development). On two other days, lift fairly heavy weights (low reps), and rest for three days. Good luck.
