Answer 1

All of these generally refer to having well developed muscles that are easily visible due to low body fat levels. What you need to do to get there depends on your starting point.

Some people need to lose body fat. Some need to build muscle. Some need to do both. There is endless discussion on these topics in r/fitness, r/gainit, and r/leangains.
