Upper thighs too muscular
I am a 45 year old male. My workout routine is three days of weights and two cardio per week. I lift heavy with four sets per exercise and several different exercises per muscle group per body part… lower body training consists of squats, lunges, deadlifs with some leg extensions… all’s good, yet the upper inner thighs rub together and are irritating. At 6′2″ 210 lbs, fat is not what is causing the irritation. What can I change in my routine to stop the upper thigh growth and get that pop back around on the backside where I need it?
We all have our pet peeves and curses, often stemming from our inherited blueprint. You’re workouts are right on and I suspect you will continue them with wise innovation and fortitude… the best you can do.
In time the bulky thigh mass will be replaced by a desirable muscle density and accommodating shape.
You might want to settle in at a bodyweight that is five to ten pounds less than your current average. I’ve noticed when I periodically modify my food intake to assess overall muscularity, the first few pounds shed are from the upper thigh and mid-section area. Presto.
Of course, the wee sacrifice in menu, general size and strength are quickly evident.
Can’t win unless we persist…
Go… Godspeed… Dave
