Too much muscle

Posts: 2 Member
My body is naturally super musclular. I'm losing weight and I'm not lifting just cardio. I'm currently a server so I get my cardio ever night I work lol. I'm losing weight but I just look so lumpy and big now that fat is disappearing. I'm trying to get a leaner look. I've got gains but with clothes on I still look like I weigh a ton. Cause the muscle mass I have. How do I get a leaner look and not like a god damn body builder.

Ouch - harshing on the bodybuilders out there. The only way to have muscle mass is to lift heavy and eat at a surplus for gains, so I'm a bit perplexed at how you have significant mass, but only do cardio. Pics would help.7

What are your stats and bodyfat%? Have you competed in bodybuilding previously or weight trained your whole life? Most likely you have fat covering the muscle, so you look bigger and muscular than you are.5

Unless there was an extensive history of lifting, you are not super muscular.7

love these posts (sarcasm)! I've noticed every female that claims to be a super muscular she-hulk never has a pic to back it up (I've seen the same claims in Facebook groups and every time the person only has tight photos of their face).
OP - "lumpy and big" is unlikely to be muscles that have emerged on their own from you doing "only cardio."4 -
muscle isn't "lumpy." fat is "lumpy."9

Keep going with leaning out and ignore the useless comments. So long as you're eating at a calorie deficit and regularly exercising you will lean out in time.12 -
Why the hate for body builders?

Nobody hating on body builders, but claiming that you've "accidentally" developed a competition level body is absurd.3
