Muscle definition often depends on body fat percentage. Even if you are strong, a higher body fat level can obscure muscle appearance. Focus on a balanced diet and cardio exercises to reduce fat and reveal muscles. Strength training is key, but nutrition and overall body composition play crucial roles in showing muscle definition.

FAQs & Answers
