Thighs & Butt in check!!!???

**mrobbins15** · 11-09-2009, 07:49 PM

For the past 2 years I’ve really gotten my workouts and diet in check. Gradually seeing results.
However, I cannot seem to get my thighs and butt to tighten and shrink.
I seem to be stagnating. I am currently on week 3 of a 6 week var cycle. Just begging to see muscle hardness.
I functional train 6 days a week with an additional 1 hour of cardio 3 days a week.
I am a former NCAA athlete and my legs have a tendency to bulk with heavy lifting.
I stay away from bread, rice, potatoes and pasta to maintain a low carb diet.

What else do you suggest to get my thighs and butt in check.

what is your workout for legs?

Thighs and glutes are usually the last things to show on women, you will more than likely need to get down to around 12-14% bodyfat before you see good definition in those areas. Suggest you head to the diet forum as this is whats impeding your progress more than any training shortcomings.

I suggest you continue with the funtional training. Perhaps include some morning cardio before breakfast and drink a cup of coffee afterwards. This is extreme but it will speed up you metabolism momentarily. Consider that you may be more muscular down there than you know. Muscle is always harder to deal with than fat. What sport did you train in?

I think that we need a picture for precise determination
