I am guessing that you want to get really visible muscles. The main thing with that isn't as much about the size of the muscles, but to have as little fat as possible between the muscles and the skin. The downside to that is that we are meant to have some fat there. It's our padding, our insulation and our energy reserve. Losing that weakens our immune system and saps our energy levels - not a good thing.
