I don’t understand the question. You weigh 139 and you want to “loose” (lose) muscle mass? I don’t get it, sorry.

Hi guys, I was wondering if you could help me with a little problem. I’m 15, 5’10” and 139 pounds. When I started high school this year I was 128 lb, but started I to build muscle to look better. I’ve gained almost 12 of muscle but don’t look it. Most people say I look 115, But I hate getting on the scale and seeing those numbers, partially due to the fact that I weighed the same at my most overweight and worked hard to get down to 128. When I compare myself to kids 20 or 30 pounds heavier than me, my arms and thighs are the same size. Can anyone tell me how to loose all of the muscle weight?

Chris, I sympathize with your dilemma, because I share it. I am a 49-year man, height of 5’10″ and weight of 210lbs. I do need to lose some body fat, but my main problem is being too muscular. Despite being average height, I wear XXL or XL shirts because my shoulders and back are simply too large for something smaller. If this sounds like a high-class problem to have, in some ways maybe it is, but I really want to drop 20-30 lbs. if possible. My mobility, flexibility and over-all-athleticism suffer at this weight and size, despite my being stronger in absolute terms than at a lower weight.

My diet is probably the culprit but I have identified one other: hypertrophy due to 2-3 very high-intensity martial arts workouts/week. Nothing has ever made my muscles respond so dramatically. Sustained martial arts training engages fast-twitch muscle fibers big-time, and my reflexes are at or near the best they have ever been. As a younger man, I used to lift weights 3-4/week, but never experienced anything like this. I need to do only maintenance weight work now, 1-2x/week, tops.

I have a couple of friends who are trying to gain weight like mad; I tell them eat a diet rich in protein and healthy fats, and do high-intensity martial arts and weights/p90X, and you’ll grow. Me, I just wish I could get smaller again. As a younger man, I couldn’t put on muscle mass to save my life; now I can’t stop doing it! What gives??

Suggestions, anyone? I know I need to change my diet, and start pounding the cardio more, but not sure of the specifics.

Please feel free to e-mail me, I’d be grateful for advice from others who have overcome this problem or dealt with it in some manner before.

Do not go below your BMI!! This would work but its very harmful. Just stay still in bed for at least 5 hours non-stop every day. Go to bed early, get up late. Be physlically lazy. You will start loosing muscle after first 3 days. I did that. It worked.

Just stay still for at least 5 hours non-stop every day. Do not perform any intensive physical activities. Do not walk too much. Eat light meals. After three days your heart will slow down and it wont be pumping enough blood into your muscle to keep its present mass. Muscle will start to shrink. Simple and very effective solution but it can be difficult to carry out. You need a lot of patience to stay still. Just watch movies or play with your laptop. It worked for me when I needed to lose muscle. I had too much and it was making me feel stiff. I felt like in suit of armor. Now my body is flexible again but it took many hours of laying down on my sofa.

I guess I am in the same boat as the other who posted above. I’m 5’7 weigh 135 pounds and need to know how to lose muscle. I would go by your advice already implemented but our stats are different so I was wondering if you would be able to help. I built a lot of muscle but my deltoid muscles are being stubborn since they’re more “bulk” muscle. All of my other muscle has shrunk and I am stumped as to why my deltoids/ shoulder muscle won’t. Perhaps I built the wrong kind of muscle. Someone told me to starve so I’ve been doing that by only consuming 10 calories a day and taking 4 diet pills throughout the day. But this starving thing makes me feel horrible. Other people have told me that I need to get my BMI below the normal level for my age and height and then the muscle will start to go. I’m not sure how to tackle this issue without starving to melt off the muscle. So was wondering if you could give me information having given my weight and height. I would appreciate it very much. Thanks.
