muscular legs

[Daisy_Girl]

I do not think dropping the weight and doing mass amounts of reps is the answer here.

Bunny (and I) dropped weighted leg work to help reduce leg size .... but I know Bunny was doing a lot of sprinting (great for legs) and I was doing a lot of plyometrics and some HIIT on stairs. THIS is what helped reduce leg size and still maintain muscularity and definition.

Dropping weights and doing endless reps is typically NOT the best choice. If you reduce the amount of stress on the muscle - what do you think will happen? Do you think you will be able to maintain your current level of solid muscle and defintion (or even improve it)? If that were the case - I will do endless bicep curls with a soup can and get defined muscle. I don't think so.

Also - are you SURE it is muscle? What is your leg skinfold?

Bingo!

Where the hell is my head today

That is what I meant to say ...
Sprints, Plyometrics, Stairs all excellent for creating magnificent gams.

DG is exactly right here. I have had lots of women ask me for help. I hear the same things, I don't want to much muscle I don't want to be to big Translation: I AM LAZY AND I WANT THE EASY WAY OUT

If your legs are lean, I'll bet there not to big or if they are big with muscle your a genetically gifted freak and you should have my baby because he will be Mr. Olympia. If there not lean, I'm going to go with diet as the problem.

TRAIN TO BUILD MUSCLE. EAT TO LOOSE FAT. Post up your diet here and let DG and the other girls tweak it for you. You'll be suprised on what you can accomplish

thanks for all the great thoughts! I think they started gaining size since I have been doing Anavar. My strength levels went thru the roof and I could do really heavy leg presses, extensions...

My BF is around 11-12% and diet is very clean. So, maybe it is water gain, but they look muscular and big and I dont like it. Time to stop the Anavar.

Var alone does NOT cause huge muscle gain. It is the EXERCISE CHOICES combined with Var.

Change exercises, and you will change your results.

I am genetically gifted in the leg development area, and I have taken Var and reduced leg size while maintaining (and improving) muscle definition in my lower body. It is exercise choices that dictate the results here (obviously, combined with diet).

Oh, and I *still* want to know the thigh skinfold to see what we are dealing with.

I don't see Var giving you much water gain. How much are you running? Typical daily diet? How did you test your BF?

I will do traveling (walking) lunges with an extended stride. In addition, I will change my leg routine to lite to moderate weight, higher reps and no squats. This seems to help define the muscle more so than to build w/o sacrificing the mass.

I see the need to clarify: Lite to moderate weights and increasing reps to 12-15. Not endless reps, as that is catabolic and a waste of time. I also should have added (along with DG and the others), check your skinfolds on your thighs. You could be carrying more BF there than you know.
