    Wow. I'm not sure anyone has ever asked how to lose muscle before.

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

    wear a skirt or dress.

    I had a knee op and couldn’t walk properly for 3-4 months.

    I’d lost pretty much all my muscle. Before my knee op I had big, toned legs.

    Get some crutches for a month… injury or no injury haha.

    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.

    Also, stop walking, standing or running.

    My wife has vetoed that suggestion more than once.

    I'm curious, what's your body fat % & how much do you squat?

    I'm 6'1 210 6%bf

    I don't squat.


    i'm not trying to be a jerk, but, i don't believe there's any way you're 6% at 210 pounds.

    Pictures or it didn't happen?!

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


    I'm not trying to get smaller. I was starting a convo. I'm happy with myself. I work hard.

    Oh ok so just for clarification we are just talking in general, so not specifically about you

    Yes lol. Not me at all.
    I'm killin it. I have been asked this question before and wanted some thoughts/suggestions.

    Atrophy was my first thought

    My first thought was: "they don't actually have too muscly legs." People don't get huge quads on accident.
