Genetics or changeable? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

K guys.
If for example someone had more fat or muscle on their ass than say on their upper body which obviously would make them look out of proportion.. could they do any thing specific for this or just lose weight until it all went and build upper body to look normal?
Weird question Iknow. Im just interested.
cheers

you cant spot reduce fat

it comes off evenly

imagine fat cells

if more are placed in one area, it just means they all shrink at the same time...

.....but they will still be there all the same!

Read somewhere (think it was milos sarchevs column in flex, so it more than likley b*llocks) That some spot redution is possible. Stress, diet, and a few other things can affect hormone levels in the body, affecting where bodyfat is stored. Hence why women with higher eostrogen levels store more fat and water around the hips and ass area. Could be b*llocks as i said but its worth lookin into

So does this mean I have high eostrogen levels :(
If bodyfat was reduced all over the body to say 6-8% would there still be excess fat in that area or would it all be shed?

No it doesnt mean you have high eostrogen levels, youmay just store it in different places, most people genetically have differing fats stores, and in answer to your question you wouldnt know till you got down to 6-8% bf, but its likely at that level your not gonna have much subcutaneous fat left anywhere on your body
