best training routine

Woa. Some great answers here. I hear what you’re saying though, I don’t find beefed up bodies aesthetically pleasing.
I am far from my physique goals but I am entering my bulking phase and hoping to really build on parts where I lack.
Below is my routine
*MOST IMPORTANT* Nutrition
Why this part is the most difficult? I don’t know, but you need to remember that it contributes to 80% of your goals. Find a macro nutrient calculator, put in your body composition, activity, goal and you will get a pretty good estimate of how many proteins, fat, carbohydrates you should be consuming.
Your Question - Answered
Layne Norton’s PHAT program is great for the experienced lifter. I love it.
Set realistic goals
I’ve seen too many people fail because they’re being unrealistic or believe that a magic pill, magic program, magic anything will happen to them.
Proper organization & time management
I like to keep my sessions on the weight floor between 45–60 min. This takes up a small part of my day, but gives me the opportunity to reap the benefits of exercising. I enjoy working out 5 times / week and on my rest days (when I’m leaning out) I enjoy a 10 minute HIIT session, followed by some light yoga.
Knowledge
Use the internet to your advantage. research macro nutrient calculators, calculate yours based on your body composition and goals. Download Myfitness pal to track your macro nutrients/micro nutrient. Learn about your body and how it reacts. Learn about mind-muscle connection and time under tension. Educate yourself and don’t fall for the phonies in the industry. Oh yeah, remember to rest too :)
Posing
If you can get this down. You’ll be amazed at how much this changes your overall appearance. Especially for photos ;) It isn’t something acquired overnight. Mind-muscle connection is a wonder. Practice, practice, practice. It’s safe to say I’ve mastered the art of abdominal posing. I’m a work in progress too, just like you!

Once you gain the amount of muscle mass you want, how can you stop getting heavier or bigger

Adjust your calories needs to meet your current activity levels Okay Okay, all I am saying is you need to eat at a maintenance level. With an experienced lifter, You can only add muscle in a calorie surplus. [Source:  12 Types of People You See at the Gym ] When you feel you are content with your body: Figure out maintenance calories using a tdee calculator -  TDEE Calculator: Learn Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure Keep your protein to 0.6g - 0.8g per lb of body weight, fats around 0.4g per lb of body weight and full in the remainder with some nutritious carbs. You can also scale back you workouts to 3 days a week but always keep the intensity. If you don’t use you lose it.

What do you need to eat to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time ?

Let me start off with:  It is absolutely possible to lose fat while building muscle. It's not the fastest way to build muscle, per se, but it's possible. Resistance training. If you have a quality program or routine set up, you don't need to change it. If you don't figure out a good program that works for you. I happen to be a fan of full body workouts, hitting the gym heavy twice a week and doing endurance calisthenic work on the days out of the gym, and have had great results so far, this is known as daily undulating periodization, a useful training tool for strength building [1] In any case keep lifting and lifting hard. Cardiovascular training You can do it if you want to, I'm a fan of it, for a  number of reasons , not solely aesthetic reasons.  If you do cardio, I suggest doing it moderate to high intensity for at least 30 minutes a session. People that fail to shrink their fat while doing cardiovascular are likely failing in the next sessio...

How can you increase your muscle mass and definition as a woman

I have maintained for years that women do not gain “muscle mass” as men do. Unless they cheat…By doing steroids. There may be a small percentage of women who have the genetic makeup to become muscular….A large frame, and a high percentage of fast-twitch muscle fiber. But most will not. “Natural” female bodybuilders tend to end up looking like this: Nicely shaped, well-defined, but not particularly “large”. The occasional female bodybuilder you see who looks more like “Ahnold” with a woman’s head has been nipping at the steroids. The other answer recommends “lifting heavy”….That is not the method employed by male bodybuilders. “Lifting heavy” is for strength training. Heavy weights, low repetitions. Bodybuilders use relatively lighter weights, higher repetitions, and multiple sets, along with special dietary strategies. Not just “eat more”. That’s how you get fat. Bodybuilders (smart ones….) very carefully monitor protein intake and other nutrients and also go through “...
