    One example. Lots of people with muscular legs have issues finding pants to fit them properly. Too tight on the quads

    If you get down to your desired leanness and feel your legs are too muscular, basically you would have avoid exercises that use them. For example, if your quads are growing out of proportion, stop doing squats, lunges and leg press in particular.

    Lots of people without muscular legs also have this problem!

    That's why we are specifically talking about "muscular" ....

    Pictures or it didn't happen?!

    i just can't fathom that someone would have this physique on accident and want to get smaller.

    Yea.. this confuses me too. I feel like there is a point where if you aren't happy with the way you are progressing you change it at some point along the way. Unless OP woke up this morning and decided he wants to completely change his body type.
