  Any tips to cutting or toning your muscles?
  
  I heard to cut you carry manageable weights with high reps. How manageable is 'manageable', 60% of your maximum weight? Any sort of excercises to follow or avoid like barbell curls, seated rows etc.

  nothing wrong with getting a lean body first right. bulking up isnt everyones' cup of tea.

  if u wana avoid the bulky look, then you must have low bodyfat levels ( higher bodyfat can go on top of muscle and make you look really big) and train for strength rather than hypertrophy, you dont need to be big to be strong.
  
  not sure if that answered your question, or if u wanted to make your muscles look a certain way, eg pec shape. that one is mainly genetics, though u can try isolations to target specific areas once you have a decent amount of overall muscle mass.
