Building muscle is exactly like it sounds – you’re trying to make your muscles bigger. Toning is more an attempt to define your muscles and remove the fat around them so they are easier to see.
building muscle is u building it if ur fat ur body will be hard not flabby and toning is making ur muscles cut like u see the muscle like bruce lee hes real cut
toning your muscles is the result of doing high reps with relatively low weight (approx 50% of max). this lengthens your muscle fibers, which makes them looked….toned. Building muscles comes from doing low reps and high weight (70-80% max). Doing higher weight requires more muscles fibers to be activated, therefore more muscle growth occurs.
Muscle fibers are activated proportionally to what work needs done. for ex: to pick up a piece of paper requires very little strength, so maybe 1% of your muscle fibers get activated. lifting 300 lbs may activate 90% of your fibers, the more that get activated….the more growth occurs.
What is the diffirence bewtween toning and building muscle?
If you just want to tone up you lift light weight and do a lot of reps and if you want to gain muscle you have to lift heavy.
Toning is to define and maximise muscle you currently have. Building muscle is just that. Exercise that builds new muscle tissue.
