Any way to lose muscle?

[Angus]

I've finally registered to the site so I can post....been looking on here for a couple of years now on and off. I've learned a bunch, thanks!! I am wondering if there is a way to decrease the size of my legs. I haven't lifted legs in years. I run about 5 days a week and do other cardio. I did a lot of lifting legs in the past and my legs got big. Now I'm wondering if there is anyway to get rid of some of that muscle. Any suggestions?

Actually, you're doing the right thing; running. You're gonna have to run your legs off....I wanted to lose a little of my ghetto booty that I got from squating. I started running about 2 months, and I can tell a difference.

I'm pretty happy with the amount of muscle on my upper body, just want to make sure I'm eating and working out to maintain rather than build any more. I eat more protein than anything else, very little sugar and workout 5 days a week. Cardio every day, a lot of reps with low weights.

like red said, keep running. dont do things like heavy squats that will build your legs up etc..

you may have to get over the fact that you naturally have thick legs and your body will do everything it can to keep them.

Are your legs cut i.e. muscle separation or are they big because they have a lot of fat.

speak to Rado he's expert

They are pretty cut. In fact I get a lot of compliments on them. I was just wanting to know if there is anyway they could look good and be just a little smaller. I'm known as Quadzilla. :) Is there any safe way to lose muscle? What ratio of protein/carbs and fat is suitable to stay trim without feeding muscle growth? I can keep my fat down by eating mostly protein but I don't want to be bulking unintentionally.

What is your bod type?

Endo, ecto, meso?

meso, i started lifted in junior high

[Angus]

i think i might have ended up leaner if i hadn't started lifting so early

symetry issue? u a bblder? maybe you should focus on bringing up your upper body instead. post some pics

[Angus]

i just took the pic but i'll have to look on here to find out how to post it, i have always lifted and worked out, never entered any competitions but have thought about it a bunch
