Are your glutes more muscle than fat? If they are, i don't know what the problem is. A muscular 'big' ass is always better than a 'fat' big ass.

Well, I dont' know percentage-wise, if it's more muscle than fat, but I know it's A LOT of muscle. I'm not that lean now, but you can still feel that it's ROCK HARD (under some fat).

concentrate on eliminating as much of the fat from your butt as possible

How would I do that?

What I'm trying to say is that I think, now, after the muscle I gained and the fat I gained, if I don't lose muscle, I will have to be at like TEN PERCENT BODY FAT to fit into my size 6 jeans. that is NOT an option to STAY at 10 percent. But I don't want to buy new jeans.

MY ASS WAS BIG TO BEGIN WITH!!! IT WAAAS BIG! Now it's REALLY BIG. I want it back to just "big" & not freaky.

Yes, I have seriously reduced my volume & intensity of training. BUT - in the past I have not atrophied. While I was doing OL, I wasn't allowed to work biceps & pecs. Yeah, they get *some* work through push-presses & other things I did, but they still didn't atrophy at all!!! Same thing with all my muscles when I was just lazy through November & December. I don't atrophy, so I need a plan of attack just to get BACK to where my body was last spring (before OL, before glute-muscle gain, before injury, before fat gain).

I know I know, I'm SO LUCKY that I don't atrophy. Well I don't want this much muscle now. We all want to be in porportion & I ALREADY had a big ass before OL!

I don't know what to suggest.

Maybe ditch the weights alltogether and train like a triathlete for a while. Maybe just run, swim and a little bit of cycling. Do some enduro training and see where that gets you.

On cycling, just pick a flat course, no hills and use a high gear so that you don't need to recruit any of your glutes to turn the pedals.

Gladi, I stated before that I am in the same boat with you except my thighs (quads and hammies) will become quite large with heavy weight training and I love the feeling of moving more weight than most men in my gym. One way that I am learning to overcome this part of my genetics is to use moderate weights, higher reps (no more than 12-15) and to work them 2xweek. I have found that bodyweight traveling lunges performed in this fashion has helped in the past and present to use the muscles without hypertrophy and without atrophy and no excess stress to the joints. I find the key is to make sure the stride is long and the front knee does not go over the ankle. As for reducing a large booty, you may have to research and do a little trial and error to find what works for your particular body. Unfortunately, I cannot relate to you in that area as my butt is for ever in an atrophy state
good luck in your quest and let me know if I can help ya!
