I use to weigh 280 now I am at 247.5 according to the digital scale at the gym. My chest, traps, lats & delts, back, and arms are starting to come into formation. I went from being sloppy fat to solid but still have belly left mainly upper belly. I was taught to lift heavy and correct forum. Now I want to shape my structure tighter. i always do heavy sets, if i need to do more sets with lighter weights, how should I go by this. I want to bulk and strentgh and tighter sculpture.

The main thing is diet. What are you eating?
You want a balance protein/carb/fat 40/30/30. Beign almost 250lbs I would say that if you were eating 2500 cals you would lose weight(to start ) and go from there.
Cardio is another thing that you are going to want to do. It will help tone you up.

	TALO's Sig:"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
