    Help on losing muscle..narrowing back/shoudlers for female

    I'm a pretty muscular girl who has been in the gym for years now, but I do not lift heavy weights. I'm starting not to like the look I've built, feel wider and broader on my upper body. Does anyone know any effective ways of reversing this? I've tried cardio only and that hasn't helped. (In particular, my shoulders traps and lats) ANy exercises to avoid?
    Thanks

    What do you want us to say? "Get lat removal surgery" ?

    Taking away the stimulus and lowering calories below the level required to maintain the muscle will result in the breakdown of the tissue.

    Thats how the body works. Keep doing cardio rather than weight training, and just WAIT. Sheesh.

    I went on a burn muscle spree only to regeret it...and I put on mucle fast!!
    To keep me looking feminine i just cut my calories to around 1200 and did 2 hours + of cardio a day

    if you're willing to do that, then there you have it.

    But, my skin turned to shit, my hair started falling out, and i was always lathargic at just 16.

    I don't reccomend it.

    You women are nuts. Under 1k calories? Are you really that unhappy with how you look? I'd bet your a hottie with a complex.

    Well it's out of my head. I got over it when i was 17. Now that my diet has more variety and slightly more calories, it's amazing how great i feel. I do have muscle, but i don't look like a boy

    oh, might i suggest circuit training for chickie who's worried about muscle mass. Thats worked wonders on my lower body

    the only thing i don't circuit train is my back (deadlifts and variations of)
