The pic here is of champion weightlifter - Lu Xiaojun from China. As you can see he is lifting very heavy weights and is absolutely ripped without an ounce of bodyfat on his frame.
It just goes to show that you can lift heavy and still get cut!
By
lifting heavy and building muscle you'll increase your metabolic rate.
The more lean muscle you have on your body, the more calories you'll
burn throughout the day - even while you are resting!
In addition
to that, doing hard and heavy weight training workouts burn A LOT of calories. In fact, you'll burn more total calories from a hard heavy
weight training workout than you will by lifting lighter weights for
higher reps.
When you train hard and intense you'll break down your muscle tissue.
And it takes approximately 72 hours after hard workout for the muscles to
fully recover.
During that recovery time your metabolism remains
elevated and your body will burn fat at a faster than normal rate.
With
hard heavy weight training workouts you are literally building muscle
while burning body fat at the SAME TIME. This will help you to develop a
leaner and harder physique, which is what we are all after!
