Is it possible to reduce muscle size in calfs?

I have very large calf muscles, quite out of proportion, I feel, for my height and weight. I think perhaps it's from when I was a big girl and the muscles had a lot of work to do.

If there anything I can do to slim the calfs down? There is literally no fat on them at all. I wish I could say the same for the old thighs, which didn't ping back as well!

Any ideas on this, is it possible or impossible given that I cannot rest that particular muscle?

There go eventualy its because you had such a load on them before it will take time for them to adjust to your new weight - because you lost it so quickly.

the other reasion is your calf muscle is slow twitch so it takes longer to lose than the faster twitch type.

+ many of the guys here would kill for that problem your having with your calves lol most of us cant get them to grow at all.

Re: Is it possible to reduce muscle size in calfs?

Funnily enough I used to date a girl with the same problem, but we found they reduced every time they were around my neck......not sure why but it might be worth a try......

In all seriousness, I don't think they will reduce,, you'll just have to not excercise them at all.....I wish I had the same problem, although they are coming along well
