How to make legs smaller?

king_eric · 03-25-2003, 03:01 PM

Hey all! Im on the 5th day of my cut, a little tired, but hey, can't moan over results! I'm trying to make my legs smaller, they are 1/2 fat, 1/2 muscle and are far too big as I have trouble fitting into my normal size trousers and jeans. Is there a way of making my legs tighter and harder? More reps with heavier weights? Any good exercises for the glutes? Lastly, I know this should be posted in another forum but, if im on low carb dieting while consuming 80g of carbs b4 5, should I carb up every 4th day, or leave it? Cheers guys and gals!

If you want to lose the muscle on your legs, just stop working them.

If you want your legs leaner, that is achieved with proper diet.

Thanks Prince! Should I keep on training them heavy Or just train with high reps with medium weights to get them lean?

If you really want them to shrink either stop working them, or train with light weight/high reps.

Always use heavy weight, high reps are only good for endurance training, diet and cardio should be used for cutting body fat.

Yes, but I think he wants to shrink his legs, as in lose muscle to make them smaller.

Sorry Prince, I meant to say to make them leaner so I don't have as much trouble fitting into jeans and stuff!

oh, well then you do not need to change your work-out, getting leaner is achieved thru proper diet.
