Tips on losing muscle mass in legs?

Hi,

I have been doing GB-training for about six weeks now. I have made some progress, but I have spent a lot of time finding out how to do the exercises correctly, with correct form. I work out five days each week, with my own program, losely based on the killroy template. 

I have played icehockey on a reasonably high level for many, many years. This has left me with big and heavy thighs and calves, something I find to be a huge disadvantage in gymnastics. Does anyone have tips on how to lose muscle mass in my legs?

Walk around in handstand and L-sit?

I'm sort of in the same boat as you. I use to lift weights and starting GST with some pretty big legs. You'll find as you work them less then you once did, that the mass will slowly fade away.

Start dieting and don't train your legs. Body will suppress muscle mass that is not actively used while dieting.
