Deins Drengers Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Having big legs and glutes sure hurts while doing GST. I know there is no such thing as spot reduction. But maybe u can suggest something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farid Mirkhani Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 If you do a lot of squats, then stop it. Other wise you need lose weight in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ussjkenny Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Then the obvious answer is that you simply need to start by losing weight in general. Not the most fun answer (because pizza is awesome) but a necessary one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Long Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I like the jus do all your walking on your hands idea... Just wear gloves though, some floors are pretty dirty out there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnicky Roy Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Focus on changing your eating along with focusing on foundation. Or, have cardio training days to burn extra fat and it'll drop over time. It's a calories in vs calories out game. Simple as that. if you have a bike, make an effort to ride for an hour a few days a week or just substitute driving with biking or walking more often. Steady life changes that you can maintain will be your best friend. Picking something that doesn't increase your appetite is also something to keep in mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnicky Roy Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Waking up earlier to walk for an hour first thing in the morning does wonders as well. Just throw on some pants, drink a glass of water and go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deins Drengers Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Yeh, Im also scared to lose upper body bulk, but I guess its the price to pay to get leaner /less bf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Stangerup Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Just do it slowly (months), then your weight loss will be predominantly fat. But of course you will lose a little upper body bulk; namely the part of your upper body that consists of excess fat. Edit:Also, while it is true that many GST moves are easier with light legs, consider your motives for doing strength training in the first place. Extra bodyweight in the legs is like wearing ankle weights, in that it makes an excercise more difficult, but also more rewarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper Stangerup Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 In that case, get a wheel chair. By never using your legs, they will atrophy while your arms do all the work of moving you around. Before you know it you will have legs like spaghetti, while maintaining your upper body bulk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnicky Roy Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Body fat loss is body fat loss. Spot treatment is not how it works unless you have surgery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
