I am just wondering how i can train for a smaller amount of size in the muscles, still want to train them, but just not make them increase in size.

Isn't it true that: 1. The more weight you use, the bulkier you become.
2. The more reps you do, the more toned your muscles become.

Holy shit.

How do i train for a small amount of bulk as possible, like I dont want arnold size, you know, small and sexy, pointers would be usefull
You stop training and eating for hypertrophy once you reach your desired size.
This question is really stupid. You will never get bigger than you intend to, since it involves alot of conscious effort and hard work.

Well, literally, they're both true. But, if we can adequately interpret what he actually means then you're right to say not true.

1. Overload is a basic mechanism by which muscle continues to grow. So, as long as you get stronger, you will see a change to your muscle size. It's the degree of change that is questionable. You do indeed become bulkier (if, by that, he means more muscular) the more weight you use when you look at results over the course of a substantial and progressive training history.

2. Cardio is continuous repetition of a single movement. So, as the number of repetitions increases (proportional to the difficulty of the exercise), you do have the potential to become more "toned" (given an appropriate diet) -- though it's not directly caused by performing the repetitions themselves.
