What would help is if you only add weight every 3-4 weeks. So that your body can get addapted to it before changing it up again.
As for bein defined. it won't effect you if after about three month intervals you take and put two weeks of low weight high rep excercises in between.
You will not lose strength doing this but when you go back to lifting heavy again it make take about to days to get your max strength back.

I am using heavy weights at gym and tend to go with 3 * 12 reps as standard with reps 10-12 being extremeley difficult. I find i am addicted to improving my strength and seem to be lifting more each week. But i suppose if i want definition i should lower the weight and increase the reps? will i lose strength doing this?
Thanks for your advice and i will try and take it on board as much as possible, more replies are welcome!

You may eat healthy but that doesn't mean you are eating the right portion size for your body.
Also you may try to eat between 4-5 times instead. I found that I usually tend to eat more than what I should with 6 times a day.
Also are you using light weight high reps for definition? If not I would switch back and forth every couple of weeks to get alot more definition.
Hope this helps=]=]
