Disproportionate Body: How to slim down muscular/fat thighs?

[brazilian10]

How can can I slim down my muscular thighs?? They look even worst bc for some odd reason I tend to store fat in the outer thigh section making it appear like I have hips :-/
And I'm a guy!!!! Plus my calves are small! So you get the mental pic...not nice.
Should I stop doing squats/leg workouts completely? or should I work them out only once a week and do high reps?
I'm doing a 4 day split workout routine where it requires me to do lower body/legs twice per week :-/...I'm trying to find another workout routine where it emphasizes more on upper body. Any suggestions of good workout routines? I'm trying to find one but there's so many out there that makes me so dizzy.

Thank You so much in advance

P.s: At this moment I'm eating maintenance cals. (Was Bulking for 3 months) I'm also doing cardio 3-4x/week for 20-30 mins.

Do you work your calves enough?

Do you work your calves enough?

I work them out once per week :-/
I know I should be working them out 2x/week.
How many exercises and sets do you guys recommend I should work my calves per workout?

Thanks ^.^

Have u seen the calves on Kelkel. Sick. He suggests work them early in workout to increase size. Work lagging body part more then once per week.

Thanks gurl. I'll definitely start doing that, my calves and forearms are sticks

[wellshii]

Gonna need pics to advise.

Man i feel you. My thighs are fcking huge compared to rest of my body...i lost alot of weight and now its even more noticeable. Youd be surprised but people think it makes for great legs lmao.

[Khazima]

Sound like a great candidate to start powerlifting haha. As for the program you could switch to full body doing low volume leg work (more calves) and upper body work 3-4x per week.

[Bonaparte]

Just work on improving everything else to match.

[yeahbuddy289]

I like Bonaparte's idea... I just cant imagine the idea of bringing a body part down. After all, it is called body BUILDING lol. I understand where you're coming from though. My thighs are huge and my calves were very small... But 750mg a week of test and some seriously intense calf training fixed that

[TheTaxMan]

If i have a body part that is more developed than the other i train it light until the rest catches up, a wouldnt just neglect it all together.

That is exactly what I was thinking...would that work?

That makes more sense. So I need to start doing light-weight squats instead.

[Bonaparte]

OP, could you post a pic of these problematic legs of yours? Many people have a distorted body image, and what they believe is a glaring problem may not be anything noticeable at all.

You can't lose fat from just one area, but if you lost weight in general, your thighs would come out looking leaner and more defined, rather than "fat".

Hey guys sorry for not responding quickly. Been a crazy busy week.

Here's a pic.

I see nothing wrong with your proportions ..fmyour a dude or girl can't tell lol. Maybe it's taped back

I don't see anything wrong with the proportions unless you are going for a skinny, ill-defined model appearance. I agree with post about bringing other parts up to match if you are unhappy. Though I know some people argue, there are genetic predispositions at play in terms of fat storage, muscle tone and distribution, etc. Seems you could easily add a small amount of lean mass to arms and calves, do exercises that will cut up your legs as opposed to adding mass (which I think is extremely difficult to do to any degree) in your thighs.
I would certainly never neglect a body part to get it to match others. Seems like that is going in reverse on the physical evolutionary path.

Again I don't see a difference worth being distressed about unless you are concerned because of a certain focus on legs with your profession, etc. Be careful of body dysmorphic issues, or at least aware of the possibility.

What are exercises that cut up legs as opposed to adding mass?

Other questions guys:
I've recently done some research and found that many people tend to GAIN mass with low weight high rep squatting which is what I was doing all along!
Will squatting heavy/low reps be the solution to preventing my lower part of my body from overdeveloping even more?
Previously I was advised to stop squatting all together and that made it worst. My thigh/buttocks were become like jello.

OP please dont take this the wrong way but in your original post you said you're a guy.... But you look like a female in your picture. Again, please dont take this the wrong way I just have no idea whats going on

well im a guy..

All in all, I should not neglect my legs and work them with lower weights, as well as hit the calves twice per week.
Does that sound good?

Chick shirt Chick underwear on guy=WEIRD By the way your "legs"don't look big at all maybe gain some muscle and you wouldn't feel that way your forearm look like sticks

[73rr]

This one went way out there fast!

[73rr]

Op, to me it looks like u just need to keep lifting and eating. Nothing disproportionate in your pic

[yeahbuddy289]

Sorry for the confusion... thats what I would recommend- Maintain leg and do the best you can to build calves. I have had terrible calves my whole life and to be 100% honest with you the only way I was able to get them to grow was running a cycle. Im not saying that is true for everyone but in my case it was. Train them twice a week, seated and standing raises, heavy, high intensity (drop sets, rest pause, control negative and squeeze at the top)

[< <Samson> >]

This got strange quick


If that's you in the pic - u really a dude? If so what fat, I don't see no fat

[Bonaparte]

We've obviously been trolled here...

[marcus300]

Bloody hell, have you taped your cock up?

[GirlyGymRat]

I have seen this member make several posts in nutritional forum over several years.

Think Alternative lifestyle

For you Marcus. Think tape. :P

Im lost here

Nice legs man

[Mr.BB]

Your legs are too skinny already, you can change the amount of muscle to a certain degree but you can change bone placement and muscle insertions.

If you look at Juju Salimeni legs, for example, they are sexy even though she has a ton of muscle.

Guys were caught a bit off guard with your pic hehe, dont mind them hehe, too much testosterone lol, ussually a pretty open minded crowd.

Are you taking hormones?

Hit it on the Nose bro

[Bonaparte]

Look dude: if there's something going on here that we need to be aware of, please come out and say it (like that you're transgendered, taking female hormones, etc).
Also, post a pic that shows the entire front portion of your body wearing athletic shorts, and no funny business (dick tucking, lingerie, thongs, etc).

Otherwise, we will know that you're trolling us and no further help will be given.

We can't help you if you're building a transgendered/female body, yet claiming to want a masculine body (of your own).

I'm not trans, just prefer keeping a more feminine shape.

[Allstar118]

But in the OP you said you were worried about not being masculine enough. If you're trolling us please let us know :\

If you are serious, then you already have a feminine, shapely body. If you are concerned about your proportions, you have nothing to worry about with your thighs being too large. Just keep doing squats and make sure you are consistent with your upper body workouts.

Confusion abounds here

[Johndave]

Hey,

Thanks for starting this discussion here. There are lots of ways you know. If you search via the internet within a moment you'll get a lot of things which will help/suggest you in this case. But not all of them are really good and help you better. But few of them are really good you can try https://www.healthyselfprograms.com/...scle-20142015/

Hope that help!

[brazilian10]

I never really got the answer here

I've been reading that endurance running/jogging reduces thigh size. Is that true?
I completely neglected doing squats and my bum is starting to sag a little
Any exercises that target the bum without making the legs bigger?
