[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need a high-protein diet and to lift heavy. The shredded look is about high muscle mass as much as low fat. But also, there are significant limits to what you can achieve naturally without use of anabolic steroids.  [/quote]
Thanks for replying. Do I need to lift heavy even if I don't want to bulk up? Just look wiry and a bit shredded?  I am 115 lbs, I am not sure that I can look that muscular without weight gain?[/quote]

I don't know exactly what look you're going for, but if you want to look "lean", then yeah, protein/lifting heavy. It doesn't have to be barbells if you don't want (it doesn't really matter). You will definitely be limited in terms of how muscular you can get if you don't want to gain weight. But it sounds like the look you're going for is to lower your body fat and retain as much muscle as you gain or gain muscle. That's difficult if you're already thin, but protein/lifting is the best way that doesn't resort to serious drug use. [/quote]
Yes, that is what I was going for. I do have muscle, but not abs like I used to. It is harder at my age. But, I am blessed that I do not really gain weight easily. I have some neck nerve pain so that is preventing me from some heavy lifting (heavy for me, not for male or female professionals, I am not delusional).[/quote]
